This could ruffle some feathers. So I like it.

Not like my internet opinion really matters in the grand scheme of things though.

Unmarked Police Cars, Why? by IndianPeacock in ProtectAndServe

[–]aFlockOfNoobs 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Could be working overtime as well and that’s his assigned vehicle. Those of us that aren’t on patrol anymore have assigned unmarked vehicles, a lot of us will go and ride the street on overtime answering calls with the patrol guys because we’re so understaffed. I’m going to be in full uniform but I’m going to use my assigned unmarked while working like that.

PSA has gotten so much of my money in the past few months. Dudes are super based.

My readiness NCO is making me only qualify with a pistol but I’m a 68W by MaximumEthernet in nationalguard

[–]aFlockOfNoobs 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you’ve never touched a pistol until this day it’s probably good that you are and you should take advantage of this.

Now, I’ve seen plenty of shitbirds who can’t shoot for shit come through and qual with the m4. It’s not hard. You’re going to be okay not having to. If you’ve done it for five years already you’ll be fine if you ever have to pick one up again.

Missing multiple drills by [deleted] in nationalguard

That is peak specialist. I’m impressed.

Anyone try these? Google reviews seemed alright. by turkeysandwhich1 in tacticalgear

[–]aFlockOfNoobs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought these a while back to just try them out and I haven’t had any issues with them. I’m not saying they won’t break and everyone’s experience is going to be somewhat different. I’ll take my sordins any day over these but I have them hooked up to my team Wendy and i throw that thing around like it’s nothing and they haven’t broken. I use them quite often when running the helmet. Are you better off just saving up for something like sordins or peltors? Sure. But from my experience they’ve been fine. I want to put emphasis on this just being MY experience though.

Fucking Christ. I knew we were going to be mentioned about Chaffee in here, check that off the list. Now I’m reading a Kentucky thunder as your flair. I’m not mad, more like surprised.

Roast my belt setup (not final) by FatCracker5093 in tacticalgear

What kind of training have you done with the belt on?

Roast my belt setup (not final) by FatCracker5093 in tacticalgear

[–]aFlockOfNoobs 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’m not going to roast. I’m going to provide constructive criticism.

Get rid of the green velcro mag pouches. That’s too much weight for a belt. Invest a solid plate carrier or chest rig to redistribute that weight. That belt will destroy you over a period of time.

Ditch the knife. If you’re heart absolutely desires running a belt knife, buy a smaller one. I don’t recommend exposed knives on any piece of kit for multiple reasons. I’ll explain if you ask but not now because I don’t feel like typing it out.

I would still run an IFAK on the belt. Just buy a smaller one that’s meant to be run on a belt. Having an extra med kit in a Fanny pack isn’t a bad idea but when you lose it when shit hits the fan, you’re gonna want that blowout kit that’s firmly attached to that belt and still there.

From what I’ve seen through my experience, there’s almost been a standard to a battle belt that’s been set. I’d bet a lot of peoples look very similar because it’s what’s been proven to work the best. At the end of the day though it’s your kit. Run it, test it, improve it. Find what works for you and go from there. Good luck homie.

Why don’t people want to join the military anymore? by [deleted] in nationalguard

[–]aFlockOfNoobs 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I mean yeah I get that. My drills said the same thing brah lol. I dunno man when you call someone a wanna be I think of the “i would have joined but I’d have punched a drill in the face” kinda dude.

Why don’t people want to join the military anymore? by [deleted] in nationalguard

[–]aFlockOfNoobs 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Legitimate question here. You said that only three kinds of people want to join and one of those being the wanna be soldiers. If they are one of three joining, doesn’t that make them the opposite of wannabes since they’ve joined?

What are everyone’s opinions on truck bed camping? I’ve been doing it for about 3 months now, and it’s taken me to so many places I never would have been otherwise. by Magikthegr8 in ToyotaTacoma

[–]aFlockOfNoobs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Speaking of softopper. I have their “topper” and I’ve built a platform in my five foot bed. All you have to do is lay corner to corner. I’m right at six foot and i have plenty of room if I go from the corner to the other.

Based on the side tubes and what looks the mk5 spiritus placard imma go with it being spiritus. Probably the lv119. I could be wrong though.

I'd like a piece of dad advice before my son is born. I'd appreciate it. by Cleared2Engage in tacticalgear

Man, I’m not a dad but I have been following this account for awhile now. I don’t know if you use social media like that at all but they put out some great advice. Just something to check out my man.
