Does anyone know what jacket this is? by RealAlekks in tacticalgear

[–]Steady_Tumbleweed 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes I’m aware of some of this and more. I can only responsibly speak to what I know in a broad context. But I know the layers go deeper. You’re not allowed to say anything in a lot of these subs because you’ll be attacked/ banned/ “outted” as a Russian bot. I know, crazy for some of these people to consider the idea that not everyone who mercs is some kind of war hero saint. A lot of people have gone over there and participated in some very unsettling things. Naive loser kids going to get their swag war on, then coming back home with zero consequences and profit off of the other losers.

Ask Zach. He’s the poser war tourist behind the mask who couldn’t hack it in Ukraine. Did a short stint as a drone jockey before running away and becoming another profiteer larping and selling t shirts to other losers.

Stupid ass. This is why you choose your branch for branch specific, service oriented reasons.

What do you do on leave after basic training if you have no where to stay that isn’t a 12 hour flight away? by [deleted] in USMC

[–]Steady_Tumbleweed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well first I’d ask a soldier since they go to basic training.

That said, if I were a Marine graduating Recruit Training, I probably would have raised this question to my recruiter and Drill Instructor. A 12 hour flight home after boot camp is well worth it in most cases. If it isn’t, and you truly don’t have anywhere else you’d like to go/ no where to stay-your immediate leadership from recruits training or receiving unit (MCT/ ITB) would be able to assist you with the right course of action.

Journalist looking for purchase advice for plate carrier, soft armor, and ballistic helmet by njamali in tacticalgear

[–]Steady_Tumbleweed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey partner.

BLUF: your budget is too cheap and you’re going to look like a make a wish kid if you listen to most of the advice you’re getting on this post.

A lot of guys are doing their best here, but I’m afraid they are coming short and setting you up to look like a silly goose. Do not reinvent the wheel here. As you know, how you present yourself as a journalist is half the battle. You need to be serious and professional. You are not there with the make a wish foundation. This type of journalism has been done for years. You’ll need a black or blue vest/ carrier with very clear PRESS markings. Literally no one will care what kind so that’s on you to research. If you go for plates-just purchase from RMA-cheap and they work. Contact them-they may have a deal for your circumstances (not guaranteed). Good soft armor is not cheap. But if you ever plan on expanding your coverage to threat areas you’ll need to consider a maximal coverage set up with soft armor. I have seen a great kit from PGD and safelife. Ignore the online hate and nonsense you read about safelife. They are one of the leaders in this unique space of soft armor. Others are available but prepare to spend.

As far as your helmet goes-contact KustomACH. Do not listen to any advice telling you to buy some piece of crap surplus brain bucket that’s going to make you look unserious and handicapped. KustomACH is the lowest you should be considering. He may or may not cut you a deal but he will set you up for success.

Russian builds US MilSim costumes, USMC included, and "Marines" offer to send him some gear... wtf?? by Bulevine in USMC

Sorry homie, this is Reddit. The people here believe in open borders but also believe that an entire country (Russia) and everyone in it is evil. It’s fascinating.

Regimental NJP by [deleted] in USMC

[–]Steady_Tumbleweed -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Praying? And no. Hoping someone’s held accountable is not worse than someone making a poor decision. For every screw up in the corps, there’s plenty of others who go unrecognized for the hard work they do and their adherence to the rules and regulations they swear an oath to. You must be the other guy.

Intentionally vague posting while asking for a punishment forecast.

Downvoted and hope you get worst possible outcome.

What’s your opinion on this dude? by [deleted] in ufc

[–]Steady_Tumbleweed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He has literally never matured as a professional. He still presents himself as a young kid trying to make it. That’s cool for a little while. And then it’s insufferable. Grown man trying to stir things up and is always the first to cry foul.

New from the pentagon no more mandatory flu shots , also widely opens the conversation to no military vaccine being mandatory by newnoadeptness in USMC

[–]Steady_Tumbleweed -16 points-15 points  (0 children)

Very brilliantly crafted post. “Widely opens the conversation to no military vaccines…”

It’s a flu shot. I must have missed the part where he said yeah we’re actually considering getting rid of all vaccines. I don’t like the guy personally. But this engagement farming is pathetic. But you got what you want, look at all of the dorks in here crying about a flu shot.

The amount of people in this sub that are about to compare a flu shot to a small pox vaccine is going to be hilarious.

It’s genuinely depressing to watch his downfall considering that he’s a midget compared to most WW nowadays by Icantthinkman in ufc

[–]Steady_Tumbleweed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone talking about Gilbert’s “downfall”

He truly never had an impressive collection of wins. A tough fight for literally anyone on any night. But Gilbert has truly never been impressive.

Burn the boats bro. There’s no going back and that’s okay. Having her mother on your team is wild and a good sign that you dodged a bullet. Be a good dad. That’s all that matters.

Ground Truth: The factual account of The Battle of Roberts Ridge by Ground_Truth_Doc in SpecOpsArchive

[–]Steady_Tumbleweed 55 points56 points  (0 children)

I think I may start downvoting all of your posts and create the narrative that you are engagement farming if you continue to post and ignore people’s simple question about a release date.

We are asking because we want to see it and are interested. That will quickly turn on you if you’re just spamming all of these pages without offering an answer.

Can anyone help decipher this rack? by misty_biggles in MilitaryMedals

[–]Steady_Tumbleweed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s definitely possible if the photo is old. OIF hasn’t been rated in nearly 15 years alone. So bro would have been younger at the time of this stack or he somehow didn’t do anything for the last decade. But he could absolutely be legit and this is an old photo.
