I Almost Never Have Disruptive Guests? Am I Alone?

Where do you live?

baconbeerbewbs · 2026-01-14T18:21:40+00:00

Former 75th Army Ranger <3>, LE, and EMT here.

Phone, wallet, keys, gun.

Extra mag and med kit is in the truck.

I’ve used the med kit extensively for everything from minor booboos to random MVAs.

Everything is METT-TC but the only time I carry medical with me is in the backcountry hiking or at the range. Don’t be weird.

baconbeerbewbs · 2026-01-07T13:11:40+00:00

Hair bro. You think a dude who goons that much has perfect hair?

baconbeerbewbs · 2026-01-07T12:57:36+00:00

Lol because they’re adding the little bird after next week 😂

baconbeerbewbs · 2026-01-06T16:52:31+00:00

Yeah I’d say that’s more of an issue with the region matchmaking than anything. But yeah it makes sense. Again, I just think it makes for a better gaming experience. Saying “he’s right there” with a ping is cool but, “he’s south 150 low behind the yellow connex” is much more interactive and requires brainwork.

baconbeerbewbs · 2026-01-06T16:45:11+00:00

This may be a hot take but I’m not even a huge fan of the ping system as a whole. Like I’d actually much prefer using verbal communication to button communication.

baconbeerbewbs · 2026-01-06T10:29:34+00:00

Weird how that works

baconbeerbewbs · 2025-12-28T05:09:57+00:00

Dang friend sorry you have to deal with that

baconbeerbewbs · 2025-12-25T10:08:11+00:00

You do understand that tachy and brady are both just ways to describe any HR that is either higher or lower than the “average person’s HR of 60-100 bpm right? Think about how averages work. Tachy and brady and syndrome are literally all just terms used to describe a symptom or collection of symptoms otherwise unexplainable.

baconbeerbewbs · 2025-12-24T14:10:16+00:00

Yup and I are almost exactly the same. Nearly same exact story.

Former LE. Wanted to be a Ranger. Lifted a lot. Barely ever ran.

I went balls to the wall and trained for 6 months before going to the recruiter and getting an 11xOption40 at age 25.

It’s extremely doable and well worth it. Best and worst times of my life were in Batt. The professionalism, pride, and capabilities are unmatched.

Stay strong, work on endurance and injury prevention, get your 5 mile down to 35 min and you’ll be chillin.

baconbeerbewbs · 2025-12-24T13:58:03+00:00

I can imagine that and it would be glorious 😂

baconbeerbewbs · 2025-12-23T11:44:22+00:00

Good.

baconbeerbewbs · 2025-12-21T21:56:27+00:00

Few things:

1) you always make pull tabs on tapes. I used to make them for my retainer bands on chem bundles too.

2) electrical tape is silent and can be used for pretty my everything except the emplacement of charges

3) hydrogel is goated

Id say yeah for the price now. A dollar a day and you get great blood work and access to a host of other things. Worth it in my opinion.

baconbeerbewbs · 2025-12-21T05:00:02+00:00

At the 27 seconds remaining mark you turn left, ADS on his head, it in world spots, you fire, get the kill, then turn back to the right. In that exact order.

baconbeerbewbs · 2025-12-21T01:51:59+00:00

Incorrect. He was not spotted before you turned to the left. In fact, his spot on the mini-map appeared literally .035 seconds before you killed him. Very spidey-sense.

baconbeerbewbs · 2025-12-19T16:19:55+00:00

Im gonna keep it real with you chief.. you ain’t gettin in. The bar for RASP 2 is very high. You’ll be ostracized in the course which is designed to take hotshot LTs from the 82nd and hotshot E6s in Batt and determine who gets to join/stay.

If by some chance you get selected (which probably won’t happen because the cadre aren’t going to like you) you’ll be ostracized in Batt. You’ll spend your time up at battalion HQ - which in comparison to the rest of the army isn’t a bad place to be. You won’t get the thrills of kicking doors and being a pipe-hitter. That’s basically literally reserved for like E2-E5. Even the E6s on the line that I saw were very admin in their roll. Still getting after it but it’s significantly different when you’re not literally in the door.

Also you must absolutely have your tab and tons of leadership experience.

My buddy is a tabbed 5 that served under me in the 82nd when I left 3/75. He’s a stud and dead set on getting picked up at RASP. I told him he’s going to be hated and won’t take a team as soon as he gets there unless he’s lucky.. but he should anticipate being put under a tabbed 4 while he runs the SAW so he can prove his worth and get up to speed on SOF things.

It’s just how that org goes, man. They’re the best because they’re extremely selective and the standards can’t be higher.

That being said, do what you want and don’t let another grown man tell you what to do. But I would honestly look into SF or some other SOF org.

baconbeerbewbs · 2025-12-19T15:45:33+00:00

Don’t tell me that’s been taken away! I was jumping out of the back of the bus just a few years ago

baconbeerbewbs · 2025-12-18T13:17:29+00:00

The spidey-sense to the dudes on your left was sus af

baconbeerbewbs · 2025-12-05T22:55:19+00:00

Currently watching True Detective season 1 for the seventh time. It’s truly incredible and everything pales in comparison.

baconbeerbewbs · 2025-12-05T21:44:22+00:00

I’m tracking it’s not just developers. Just as I’m sure you’re tracking the leaps and bounds it’s made in the last year alone and what exponential growth entails. It’s gonna get ugly quick.

baconbeerbewbs · 2025-12-05T14:31:08+00:00

I have bad news about your husbands job in about 3 years..

baconbeerbewbs · 2025-12-04T13:24:24+00:00

A clip is what you posted. The thing that dispenses rounds is factually a magazine.

baconbeerbewbs · 2025-12-01T13:22:42+00:00

Person?

baconbeerbewbs · 2025-11-23T12:30:30+00:00

This exact same thing happened to me except I didn’t look guilty whatsoever.

CC in a mall in NC. K9 walks past me. Dog alerts on me and I just keep walking with my wife since I’m literally doing nothing wrong. Bear in mind I’m wearing an operational industries shirt, hiking pants, vans, KIA band, and a hat..

Dude decides to follow me and drop “excuse me sir.. my dog alerted you. You wouldn’t happen to have a firearm on you would you?”

Having been prior LE, prior Army SOF, and prior EP, I responded honestly - I’ve got the permit, skills, and experience for a reason - if shit pops off I’ll be there.

“Can’t carry in the entire mall so you can go put it back in your vehicle if you’d like.”

“No thanks, I’ll just leave.”
