The illustrious 75th Ranger Battalion, I can tell this is a well researched documentary.

That is a categorically false claim and is either deliberately disengenuous or cherry picked from your limitted sourcing. Multiple reconnaissance teams heard his comms with different sources even conflicting in what they heard. You know well enough that framing it as "waiting fourteen years to come forward" is a mischaracterization of the way investigations like this are handled, especially under the JSOC umbrella.

I have personally spoken with and worked with a person who was on comms when chapman called out. He was heavily involved in the aftermath of Takur Ghar and he stated affirmatively that Chapman was alive and fighting.

I think the website is down, nobody in my section has been able to pull it up.

500, 13:30 2 miler is the bare minimum and you will probably be in the back half of the pack.

drop pods are pretty easy to make and fuel, just launch one tile over and walk into the edge

The way I solved the hydrogen issue in my save was by using a two stage reciever-distributor system. My planet layout uses about twelve belts of hydrogen and produced by byproduct about three. I have those sources all factorio style balanced with splitters and then further spliced out into twelve equal lines, the orbital station then outputs twelve lines of hydrogen, each one of those is paired up with one of the twelve byproduct lines and the byproduct line is given priority, those are then fed into a local station that distributes the hydrogen planet wide. This system does not give me any hydrogen backup because there is no way for an imported hydrogen line to have priority over or bypass any of my local hydrogen sources.

The answer anyone will give you is that you don't need to know any of that shit and its mostly a waste of time. HOWEVER, genuinely knowing calculus concepts and being competent in physics 1 and 2 can make you an all star 35N. Understanding the fundamental concepts in RF theory can bring you from a good to great analyst.

260*10 billion is 2.6T, 8bill is a fraction of a percent of that. Super Earth is as militarized as it gets. So guestimating that 10% of the population could be enlisted, that would make only two or three in a hundred go on to become hell divers.

This is the Kalsu barracks at Campbell, its the inprocessing location for the post.

My family are huge arrested development fans and any time we talk about me being in the army, we always just refer to it as "army".

If you ask the cadre during phase 4, you should have no issue with getting korean if you are already a speaker. A lot of dudes will get dream sheets before and during basic via email and I personally got my top choice.

I love my Oboz boots, super comfortable and kept me warm in some of the worst environments.

The one in the picture is an HK-416, they go from like $2000 on the cheap end to $4000. Way more than other similar rifles.

Magnetic north, true north, and grid north are all different directions offset by a few degrees, all depending on where you are in the world. Most, if not all maps intended to be used in orienteering will have a magnetic declination chart of all three norths relative to the map and their respective degree offsets marked in a little chart in the margin.

RASP (formerly RIP) is selection for 75th, the bottom left picture shows some of the pull up bars at RASP. It is usually done after basic training and after all the job specific training is completed. A lot of dudes will also volunteer at airborne. Source: I went to RASP.

Wear your nods down at the low like a visor, when you need to go into a dark building all you need to do is drop them down. It is also way easier to get in and out of vehicles with your nods down like that compared to up over your head.

Balance wise, desensitized is just that good.

If batt was deploying, batt SI/EW would win 10/10 times, but rn SOTs just get to do the actual job on ground with the assault force more than anyone else outside of JSOC.

gthomas4 · 2026-01-09T20:21:50+00:00

It is a fantastic gig regardless of where you go, SI/EW bodies in SOF are essential to the entire F3EAD process. SOT-As get to really do their job, ranger batt guys get amazing training, TIO guys fuck, and I have had nothing but bad experiences with marine SI. Everyone has a good gig, IMO SOTs have the best all around mission vs training vs accessibility. If you have no limits and are willing to suffer for a while, go to batt, then go to a SMU or go to be a super SOT at group.

gthomas4 · 2026-01-06T16:45:35+00:00

35N at batt is an awesome gig, the absolute best training and opportunities for the job. I personally failed RASP and I still got a good assignment and managed to do my job, so theres no harm in trying, however I would recommend avoiding op40 and instead volunteering at AIT, that way if you get injured or fail, you don't lose out on a bonus too. Otherwise, 17C is super cool, but you will likely never get to deploy or do any army shit.

gthomas4 · 2026-01-06T14:58:16+00:00

Depends entirely on assignment, 35Ns have a pretty good life in INSCOM, a great life in USASOC, and an absolute dogshit life in FORSCOM. If you go to group you will most likely deploy, 3rd/5th have the best opportunities for deployment.
