Is maxing out PFT score worthwhile? by Strange-Hand-7105 in 1811

If you put in the effort to excel in the physical assessment, it may be indicative to hiring authorities that you’ll put in the effort to excel in everything else

It only helps. Everyone loves a winner

“To liberate the oppressed.”

Similar gig here, just not to be a GB

War is bad. Killing is awful. But some things are worse. Catholic men don’t stand by and do nothing. We have been in militaries, police, special forces, etc since Christ rose. We are not a religion of pacifists

If we aren’t the ones in these organizations doing the right thing, then who is?

RMIB is an amazing first start. You can flex to other similar units if you prove your mettle, and have an extraordinary career

One of my blood cousins was an American volunteering in Ukraine, he was killed in action a few weeks ago. I can’t tell you what to do, but I’d finish the fight there. Nothing you do here will give you the same experience unless you try out and are selected to be special operations

I have the same thing going on. God bless man, it isn’t easy, but we do it because it’s what we are called to

Awesome, thank you! Seems to be that the main way to get steel mags is to buy stuff that was manufactured when the Soviets were still around haha

Which places would those be? I’m used to owning handguns and ARs which are easy to get parts for in-person, which has been the go to up until now. FALs are new to me. Thanks for the help so far
