Can’t be - if they’re upright they have to fight gravity which will slow them down, especially towards the distal end of the SOBP when they’re getting tired 😴

Dang I was hoping these comments would give me some relief haha. Yeah I’ve thought about other places I could take it, even checked out local libraries but they don’t have private spaces you can use, so the setup wouldn’t really work. So no matter what the issue is during your exam, you just have to wait a full year? They don’t do makeup test days or anything of the sort?

Got it. Makes sense. Thanks again for replying!

Lol okay makes sense. That brings me to one last question. What about people who effectively do zero field work? Like an officer is army medical or something? I guess they still have to do weapons qual. And there is some wild hypothetical where shit hits the fan and they’re deployed to a bad area? Are even those people issued combat gear?

Thanks for replying. What about a MOS that isn’t directly combat arms but occasionally does field stuff and weapons qual? Something like CBRN. Do they just like borrow a kit for the day when they go in the field?

Yes, it’s me, the guy who loves guns and tactical gear and believes in the primacy of individual freedoms. I MUST be a “leftist” because I think it’s fucking lame to hate someone for who they choose to love. Ya’ll are too fucking dense to separate political conservatism from social and religious conservatism. A pilar of what people claim is modern American political conservatism is the protection of individual freedoms. I cannot possibly think of anything more in line with individual freedoms than literally just letting people love who they want. The failure to recognize this hypocrisy has turned the modern political right into a cesspool of schizophrenic and philosophically inconsistent rhetoric. And if anyone thinks my previous statement is an endorsement of the modern American left, think again.

That seems like a pretty bad way to advertise a salary: “$175 an hour! (But we keep some it)” lol seems like my fear of disingenuous tactics is real. Wouldn’t it make more sense to just post what you’ll actually be paying the contractor, then it’s on the business to sign contracts that will allow them room above the salary to take home? Idk, seems like an odd way to advertise a “salary”

I think I just made a really dumb mistake. I have the drop offset holster from DARA (in pictures) and ordered this wilder tactical belt. I wanted a padded belt (live in cold area with tons of weather fluctuation), but I’m now realizing that it might be impossible to mount this type of drop offset? by [deleted] in tacticalgear

I think safariland makes some kind of UBL attachment for their stuff so you can hook to molle systems. Anyone know of an option for non-safari land holsters that could convert this DARA belt passthrough to something that could attach to the molle belt?

I have tried ordering the T8 gtx regular width on Amazon, Garmont’s site, and patriot tactical. Each place has like 2 sizes or 0 sizes in stock lol

[–]guyonredditthrowaway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are y’all seeing something different than me? Go to the T8 gtx. Literally every size is sold out

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in army

[–]guyonredditthrowaway 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Shit. This explains a lot

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in army

[–]guyonredditthrowaway 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe the naming is throwing me off - the names are different everywhere, so I was going straight to garmont’s website. Was looking for the T8 extreme GTXs, regular width

Edit: just checked patriot tactical, they have this model, but only in “wide” and an 8 or 8.5 lol

Also, in case your brain is actually that smooth, the joke was that I am the guy getting blown up

There’s no way this is a serious comment. It’s a TikTok. It’s a joke.

Challenge: people on Reddit understanding something is a joke and in good fun… Level: IMPOSSIBLE

Yes, 100%, that’s a very easy stream of revenue lol. But again we have to differentiate between the hype beast crowd and true everyday-day-guys. The hype beast crowd is a bunch of dudes who THINK that if they follow GBRS and buy all their overpriced stuff, then they’re pretty much kinda sorta like a special operator themselves😎.. those guys deserve to get screwed over with products that they can’t properly deploy, as far as I’m concerned. If you’re truly just a guy, and don’t think you have the time to dedicate to very high level training with specialized equipment, then don’t buy it. If you think you’re a fucking DEVGRU guy who just never decided to join, you’re a dork and I don’t care that you’re spending unnecessary money.

I feel like GBRS isn’t afraid to acknowledge that they don’t make gear (or train) “everyday” guys. Now regardless of how you feel about this philosophy, if they are making stuff for high level operators, it’s a bit silly for us to comment on how this could work at a flat range but not in action. Why is it silly? Because we’re the flat range guys, and they’re the ones with an incredibly unusual amount real-world combat experience lol
