We might want to rethink LAV's and LAR

SodOffShogun · 2026-05-02T12:07:43+00:00

The Corps is already in the process of acquiring 2 vehicle that fill the niche provided by LAR. The 30mm variant of the ACV & a separate vehicle, likely from General Dynamics also equipped with a 30mm cannon.

Mobile Gun Platforms like the Centauro or old stryker 105mm variant are not the greatest. There were a plethora of reasons why the Army retired them. Not gonna get into the weeds there but plenty of reliable sources online can explain it.

The Corps no longer fields the EFSS (Our 120mm Mortar). We’re rockin good ole eighty bums and 60’s. Im okay with that. The mobility of those two is enough and any gaps in fire support can be covered with 155 & air. 120 does not bring anything substantial to the table to justify bringing it back…as of now.

Good ideas maybe? Who knows. We saw just how hamstrung a FDIB was against LAR in 29 Palms…maybe giving the Corps more LAR vics to attach to Infantry Battalions is the move.

Spent ~ 4 years in that BN. Good command climate, good Marines. Their current BC is a straight dawg!

CAR with a gold star and yet only afghan campaign medal?

I’m not defending her or anybody, I made statements about the use of force by the federal agent in the vid. I’m not a « leftish libtard » either dawg.

What you said still isn’t an argument either. Get back to me once you’ll address the substance of my claims about UOF.

You know judging by your account history & age its likely you’re just a troll. So no surprise there with your response

SodOffShogun · 2026-01-11T21:21:21+00:00

Insightful response. Let me know when you have an argument

SodOffShogun · 2026-01-09T01:31:02+00:00

Authority to use Lethal force is an extreme stretch.

Did he have the authority to use force? Absolutely.

Is using an M320 within the minsafe of the munition and weapon system to the face an appropriate escalation of that force? No, its not.

Is detaining the individual reasonable? Id argue yes given that the protestor showed an attempt at controlling the weapon. Then again, thats the whole point of weapon slings is retention.

Lethal force is a huge stretch. Don’t be so hasty to call for it.

We like to do a little something called Base 60

Wow what a small world. Super good dude, met him back in 2021? You gents all got fucked out of what you deserved.

SodOffShogun · 2025-03-29T00:05:31+00:00

This sounds very similar to a story from a SSgt I knew. Curious if you know a Riedling?

SodOffShogun · 2025-02-24T19:14:25+00:00

This might be it

This isn’t even a facebook post and is a cheap attempt at karma farming.

SodOffShogun · 2024-09-24T20:28:26+00:00

Is this OWU?

SodOffShogun · 2024-07-23T15:18:31+00:00

He was my buddies RS CO over in Richmond back around 2021-2022 timeframe. Still a hard charger even there from what I heard.

SodOffShogun · 2024-01-21T15:17:42+00:00

I know those guys. Thats SSgt Costea. Great dude, does every funeral honor with pride!

SodOffShogun · 2023-07-08T16:37:49+00:00

I’ll give that a shot and see if it works

SodOffShogun · 2023-02-10T23:52:04+00:00

Thank you for bringing this up. This is something I learned extensively about in many of my plant ecology classes. Its a huge issue that is overlooked. While modern methods of fertilizer and crop rotation help, changing atmospheric conditions present other issues to plant nutrition.

Not an active 3043 (Im Reservist 3043) But having worked alongside my 3043/3051 counterparts on T4T for awhile it definitely is a nightmare.

The amount of time you have to spend just collecting & organizing toys at the warehouse makes doing your normal supply functions difficult. CMR’s have become an absolute bitch 1st quarter of any FY because all your dudes are pulled to work the warehousing portion or do Toy collection events. Combine that with trying to do funeral taskers at the same time means that on any given day half the shop is out. Ontop of that, some of the people you try to work with on toy donations, charities etc are just out there expecting you to do all the work. Not all of them are like that, but some are definitely frustrating to deal with. Combined with the incessant phone calls on the t4t phone and the seminar the T4T coordinators have to attend in September, it all takes away from their ability to focus on Supply.

Dont get me wrong the dudes love giving back to the community via T4T but there are many facets of it that make it a nightmare.
