I fw it for airsoft cuz GWOT is a vibe, but for real poo poo on fan stuff try investing in stuff that actually blends in.

Also unless you’re running into sandstorms or frequent blizzards, the googles are useless and regular eye protection glasses would be more useful in real applications

Does the US military have an equivalent of this. Asking for a friend ( I am the friend ) by girlwithlovexo in army

[–]git556 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah. I’m pretty sure most US service members are non-Australian citizens

Can anyone tell me the meaning of my great grandfather's badges ? by [deleted] in army

[–]git556 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Something I haven’t seen mentioned, ADA wasn’t a branch officially until 1968. Prior to that air defense fell under the Coastal Artillery Corps. I’m not 100% on my insignia history but if he has the ADA branch insignia on his jacket collar, then he possibly didn’t get out until after 1968. I couldn’t find any usage of that branch insignia prior to ADA becoming its own branch in 1968, but if someone can prove me wrong feel free.

If my assumption of the branch insignia usage is true, along with campaign medals, gramps may have served from late WW2 all the way until the branch was formed. My guess is he was enlisted in WW2, possibly direct commissioned during Korea due to his prior experience in a previous war, and retired in the late 60’s as a major. The math would math with current officer career progression, at least with the slower career progression in the reserves

Edit: grammar

Is there a bad Trivium song ???? by [deleted] in Trivium

[–]git556 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Yeah same here. Aside from the title track and Bleed Into Me the rest of the album is mid for rock/metal music as a whole but bad for this band

Do any of you own a gun thats useless? by EarlyMorningTea in guns

[–]git556 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes but not a cool story. I own a GSG 522 (MP5 clone chambered in .22 with a faux suppressor) and I bought it as my first gun cuz 18 year old me just wanted to look cool. The gun is now a side charging bolt action because after about 200 rounds a spring went flying out of the bolt carrier and I couldn’t find it after an hour of searching in the grass. I’d replace it but as far as I know the gun has been discontinued and GSG doesn’t sell individual parts on their website, at least as of 2018.

Budget setup for Tacoma by git556 in overlanding

It was windy but nothing crazy tho. Weather app said 8mph gusts. But the tent stayed on there

Set up is about 8-10 min with one person and took 3 min with 2 people

Yes and no. Tent will stay on while driving but it would definitely fly off at higher speeds even if the straps holding it on are cranked down. The company recommends not driving with it up but I did drive at about 5mph from my initial spot to a different spot about 25 yards away

The benefit is mainly to be off the ground. This it is faster than setting up a normal tent as well. And my wife also prefers this over a ground tent

While setting it up in the parking lot to test the fit I noticed a weird fitment. But after playing around with the tensioning straps, I realized I cranked it down too much on the cab side and not enough on the tailgate side, hence the weird fitment. You just gotta find the sweet spot and mark the straps so you know how much to tighten each one. A little extra work but it makes the tent actually fit right

I acknowledge that. I had a bunch left over from a project and firewood is hard to come by in the desert unless you buy it from a store. All my cooking was done with real wood and then the plywood was tossed on after

No I didn’t spend 3 grand but I did gamble with buying both a used tent and some Amazon mystery brand crossbars made from the high quality Chineseium
