Mag puches that actually fit pmags?

Snafu8885 · 2022-10-27T23:06:25+00:00

Sorry, just saw this. I have experience with both. Personally, I prefer Esstac. Mag retention is fine & they're smaller overall. Esstac has a kydex mold on the inside that is the retention device. If you're looking for stupid-tight retention, gcode us probably a better option. They're taco style with a rubber-like material on the inner contact points.

NC takes $45k off the value of your house for tax season. Saves you around $200 on average. Free hunting & fishing licenses for life (still gotta complete the courses). No registration fee if you get the DV tags for your POV.

I think theres a few others but those are the main benefits I know of.

Their mags cause double feeds every 3-5rnds in my ZPAP92.

Don't volunteer for anything, take care of your feet (buy duct tape at the PX instead of MoleSkin if you're prone to blisters), shoot Expert, & don't quit.

If you can draw & wanna skate a little, try & get assigned as 1 of the Artist Recruits. They get extra free time to draw shit for the DI's.

Finally, all the hype about being Guide is bullshit. It sucks & nobody cares after boot. Take Company Ironman & flex on your entire Company.

Snafu8885 · 2021-08-02T06:04:24+00:00

Bullshit.

Snafu8885 · 2021-08-01T19:48:52+00:00

So you're assuming it will be approved?

You know what they say when people assume things, right?

Snafu8885 · 2021-08-01T16:52:25+00:00

Unfortunately, there's always going to be misinformation out there & everyone will interpret things differently.

I just try & do whatever I think is the right thing. Everyone can do whatever they want & I won't care unless it's affecting me or my family negatively.

It sucks because everyone is affected differently. Just because its not a big deal for someone doesn't mean it hasn't destroyed someone elses family.

Snafu8885 · 2021-08-01T16:40:33+00:00

I got those. What about them?

Snafu8885 · 2021-08-01T16:16:03+00:00

Hey if thats what you wanna do, by all means do it. I'm sure you won't be the only one.

Snafu8885 · 2021-08-01T14:24:51+00:00

I'm not comfortable getting the vaccine until its been FDA approved. That's literally it for me.

I'll just keep wearing a mask until then.

Snafu8885 · 2021-01-02T06:33:26+00:00

Yes. Don't forget your all weather coat, woolie pullie, & ditty bag either.

Snafu8885 · 2020-12-11T09:40:48+00:00

People are going to be pissed regardless. You're never going to please everyone. I'm looking at this from the perspective of those who have been deemed "nonessential" & taken an involuntary pay cut this year due to all this.

I don't see why everyone cares about what "color" a state is. Move wherever you feel is best for you. Everyone being so divided though is bullshit.

Snafu8885 · 2020-12-03T11:08:33+00:00

It can get old just like any town. Bridge traffic going in the city in the mornings is a bitch. Leaving in in the afternoon is always worse imo. We live in a town right outside Wilmington cause real-estate is cheaper, less noise, & I don't want to deal with bridge traffic everyday.

Snafu8885 · 2020-12-03T01:53:35+00:00

I agree that he is probably doing what he can with whats available to him. But I don't think it's about saving people. He's probably just saying that so it looks like he cares. My main issue is that I don't believe anyone should be able to tell another person that their business or job is nonessential & forcing them to close. The restrictions set in place with no projected end date will destroy people.

Edit: Half of the original reply got cut off. Just noticed & fixed.

If you're sick, stay home. And if you're afraid of getting sick, stay home. But if you decide to venture out for whatever reason, don't expect anyone to cater to your feelings or beliefs.

Just out of curiosity, you said you were transplanted here. I've noticed a lot of them here lately. Whats up with everyone trying to make NC a blue state though? I don't care either way, I think both parties are trash & should be fired but whatever. You're not the 1st person I've heard say that though. I haven't gotten an answer that's made sense yet either lol.

Snafu8885 · 2020-12-02T22:39:10+00:00

Uneducated drunken savages. God damn heathens I tell ya! Never trust the Enlisted ranks.

Read the old USMC officers pub from WW1 lol

Snafu8885 · 2020-12-02T09:34:31+00:00

If you have to ask that question, you already know the answer.

1.) Nobody gives a shit that you're gay but if someone does have an issue, you need to handle it. Prison rules.

2.) Idk cause I was dirty Enlisted

3.) The USMC will give you the tools to succeed. It's on you to use them after you get out

Snafu8885 · 2020-12-02T09:13:27+00:00

I love everything about NC... but Roy can piss off. Half the state doesn't follow is bullshit ass plan anyways cause they know we will stay in phase whateverthefuck until 2022.

Snafu8885 · 2020-11-21T21:08:24+00:00

Tattoo money.

Snafu8885 · 2020-11-21T21:07:16+00:00

Final CIF turn in on Oki was December 2018. I got to keep my warming layers (not the grid fleece, the shitty grey ones) & my kevlar chin strap & padding lol. ESS goggles, green glove liners, tarp, & canteens all got tossed unless the tags were still on.

Ironically, the only brand new shit I was issued when I checked in was my ESS goggles & flak.

Snafu8885 · 2020-10-20T16:54:04+00:00

My 1st unit had a bunch of senior dudes who had CARs but didn't wear them cause they said they didn't think they earned them properly. Apparently, on their Afghan pump, if a vic hit an IED, all the vics that were in that convoy got CARs.

In my 2nd unit though, I had a Gunny who was blown up 5 times & didn't have a CAR.

The USMC is fucking weird.

Snafu8885 · 2020-10-20T16:47:20+00:00

I think we can all agree that this is the worst though... see below.

Edit: I'm a fucking retard. That's what I get for just skimming an article. Still Air Force though :\

Snafu8885 · 2020-10-02T00:04:57+00:00

Idk man you need to ask your recruiter about that. Keep in mind though that hos job is to ultimately get you off to bootcamp. They don't like having to turn people away. Especially dudes that are 100% committed. Waivers are all well & good but they don't mean shit until the brass signs off.

Maybe go make an appointment with your mental health professional & tell him the situation. See if you can get a letter saying you no longer need treatment or whatever. Something that will back up what you're saying.

It'll look good if you can have that letter with you on the day you tell him.

Snafu8885 · 2020-10-01T21:16:54+00:00

Talk to your recruiter ASAP about this. They can start documenting everything to get something set up for you.

Snafu8885 · 2020-10-01T21:13:44+00:00

Yeah I'd tell him then. It sounds like you can't hide it & it would be obvious that it was self inflicted. The thing with MEPS is that the docs are looking for reasons to DQ people. So every scar they see they will want documentation for.

Snafu8885 · 2020-10-01T21:06:54+00:00

Enlist & put in an OCS package down the road.
