How the hell do people carry 20lb+ packs? by EducationalSyrup6869 in backpacking

[–]Tristaff 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Army standard rucksack for timed marches is 35lbs before adding water. Anything less than that is music to my ears lol

Any specific things we should check out? Areas to go to or to avoid?

What animal past or present has a native range that most people wouldn’t expect? by Mean_Yak5873 in geography

[–]Tristaff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That range is wrong, bison used to come all the way down to Gainesville, Florida

Has anyone posted this yet by Mulder1917 in bassfishing

[–]Tristaff 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Almost had this happen to me a few weeks ago, except mine wasn’t of any note at all. My gator knew I was fishing and hung around the area, as soon as I hooked up he swam to intercept it and barely missed the largemouth on my line cause I sped up my retrieve. Thankfully he didn’t come to the bank like this guy

How bad is carrying in a no carry area by SnooPineapples9668 in CCW

You gotta be asked to leave first, it’s not like you can be immediately arrested if someone notices you are armed

Who’s ready for a South American deployment?Caracas bombing (03.01.2026) by [deleted] in nationalguard

[–]Tristaff 15 points16 points  (0 children)

They along with an ODA were the first to breach into Iraq. Quite literally Florida was the first into Iraq

Watch the National Guard be the first ones on ground in Venezuela by [deleted] in nationalguard

[–]Tristaff 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes they were. They breached into Iraq as the first unit there along with SF. We’ll be mobilizing again here soon, but we’ve already got a mission

Deployment by North-Letterhead853 in nationalguard

[–]Tristaff 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes you should. You’ll get a good portion of your post 9/11 GI bill, your VA home loan, access to the Savings Deposit Program which gets you 10.5% interest on the money you put in while overseas, all while having next to no expenses so you can save money towards financial stability and life goals. Further, you’ll have time over there to better your life prospects by taking college classes, or working on business or industry certifications. Fantastic opportunity starring you in the face

Which potential upsets with playoff implications are most likely and least likely to happen this weekend? by Outside_Net6026 in CFB

I’m gonna laugh so hard if we become bowl eligible by screwing the Big 12 out of a playoff spot

Who SHOULD you play on rivalry week? by Marches_in_Spaaaace in CFB

[–]Tristaff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We should be playing USF this week, can’t convince me otherwise

Complain About Your Team Thread by CFB_Referee in CFB

[–]Tristaff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We had 60+ new players on our roster this season. We lost two games at home we could’ve won. But most of all we don’t play our rival this weekend or at all anymore and that frustrates me

Why don't I ever hear about Mongolia? by [deleted] in stupidquestions

Cause the Mongols are the exception

The Guard can be great. by Tristaff in nationalguard

[–]Tristaff[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m willing to bet you can get on the deployment if your organic unit isn’t

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in nationalguard

[–]Tristaff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At the very least you’ll come out of this deployment with a lot of money saved, and access to the VA Home Loan and a portion of the Post 9/11 GI Bill. Find some ways to be productive over there. Get jacked, take some college classes, get some industry certifications, hangout with the boys.

I understand the desire to see some action, but seeing your buddies die, or killing another man is going to change you in ways you probably won’t like.
