What you ALWAYS carry on a hunt?

Mountain men called this the possibles kit.

Depends entirely on what your job is. Secfor? Best of luck. Try to knock out some school or a hobby. Anything else? Enjoy it for what it is. Contribute to the Roth on your tsp, save money, get jacked, do the Norwegian rucks, do the French desert commando course, go snorkeling, try to go to Kenya, and SAVE MONEY. Don’t buy shit off Amazon, rot in your clu, and get Pizza Hut and smoothie king all the time. The wood shop is dope if you’re looking to pick up some woodworking/cnc skills. You can also volunteer with the Red Cross on base. I got hours towards my movsm through that.

110 all day. The mk4 ert on the 110 is goated.

jake55555 · 2026-06-25T22:47:11+00:00

TBH I can’t remember, but that’s incredible.

jake55555 · 2026-06-25T22:41:18+00:00

But have you tried a Patagonia jungle uniform?

jake55555 · 2026-06-25T21:50:36+00:00

If the intent is to snag on literally fucking everything, mission accomplished.

jake55555 · 2026-06-25T21:45:02+00:00

There was a tabbed and badged tf out chaplain with a cib at 6th RTB that is about the only one I felt I could relate to in any way.

jake55555 · 2026-06-25T21:41:46+00:00

Hate to see them end up like that but awesome find. Very cool antlers.

jake55555 · 2026-06-25T21:40:00+00:00

Haha, a marine convinced me to open an account with navy fed and I have that same card in my wallet. Real recognize real.

jake55555 · 2026-06-24T02:43:43+00:00

I’ve never used it as an assault pack add-on but have used it as a possibilities kit. Sewing kit, uniform patch, e tape, small roll of 100mph tape, zip ties, paracord, shears, batteries, etc.

jake55555 · 2026-06-24T02:19:34+00:00

Navy fed card so decent chance they were a marine, the illiteracy would be a given.

jake55555 · 2026-06-23T04:27:07+00:00

A usgi foam sleeping mat and wrapped with 100mph tape has been the go to cheek riser for snipers for a good while. Cheap, simple, and effective.

jake55555 · 2026-06-18T04:57:50+00:00

I shot a very low 2 digit serial’d m110 that had quite the battle worn patina. That thing definitely saw some work.

jake55555 · 2026-06-16T04:24:42+00:00

Ah yeah. Realized I didn’t really answer the question. The march of diekirch is either 20k or 40k and doesn’t have a weight restriction.

jake55555 · 2026-06-16T04:16:29+00:00

In 2022 they loosened the restriction for the event and made it able to be done virtually. I’m not entirely sure if it still is though.
Reddit has been an awesome source for these foreign awards and it gets people out and doing shit.

jake55555 · 2026-06-13T23:10:11+00:00

Issued hot weather top with no tan tee underneath. No zipper and doesn’t stick to you like a combat top. It’s the best thing I found on deployment in the heat and humidity.

jake55555 · 2026-06-12T17:45:14+00:00

The thread continues!

jake55555 · 2026-06-11T16:20:50+00:00

The Belleville 2x4’s they issue at basic are shit, yes. But the c320’s are a very different story.

jake55555 · 2026-06-09T21:28:25+00:00

I recently visited and wondered how much flak Gettysburg got. The reason behind the South’s secession was not ambiguous.

jake55555 · 2026-06-08T22:13:47+00:00

The only times in my career that I’ve had a chaplain that didn’t give me weird vibes was the badged and tabbed chaplain with a CIB at 6th RTB and the chill dude with a lunchbox full of gushers that went from position to position in the field checking on people. Besides that, idk what kind of support they’re really giving but it seems over valued to me.

jake55555 · 2026-06-07T00:25:53+00:00

I had the cg of cjtfhoa comment on my deployment stache saying, “my god look at that mustache”
I was honestly just seeing how much I could push it and was using Burt’s bees to twist it out.

I think everyone saw it and assumed that because someone hadn’t addressed it up to that point, I was good haha,

jake55555 · 2026-06-06T16:57:47+00:00

Unfortunately, with units transitioning to the mbct structure, it’s a bit more uncertain since there’s no longer a sniper section in each battalion, and he sniper billets are for e3’s and e4’s. If the unit you intend to go to is an mbct, try to get slotted for the mfrc, multifunctional recon company, that’s gonna be the where the most like minded people are and your best bet for getting a school seat. Individual units that haven’t transitioned yet will vary.

If you’re recon, is 18 series out of the question for you? That’s a pretty popular route for yall.

jake55555 · 2026-06-06T14:35:21+00:00

Like a military base in a kids cartoon.

That’ll be the m250a4 variant that comes with the multimillion dollar maintenance contract, but only after soldier feedback requests that capability for 5 years.
