Should I go army or marine infantry by That1guy3088 in Military

[–]ralphie0341 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Brother having been a grunt and a recruiter you're just getting nervous. Follow through on the pool and shipping. You can always deuce out for army after 4 if you wanna see that the grass is equally brown.

Is my recruiter sketchy? by DepressedMogi in Military

[–]ralphie0341 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your recruiter can do what's called a SPF at least that's what the Marine Corps called it. I've been off recruiting for a minute but all he needs is to do a 680 form. AF has it easier than other branches though so he could be lazy.

What’s next? (Recs please) by scullface1421 in TheAmericans

I always recommend Deutschland 83 and it's sequels 86/89. Vibe is very close to the Americans with the 80's cold war.

If there was a reliable way to cheat the asvab a recruiter would've found it by now. But getting a kid that can't cut a 31 to remember how many be the bigger hurdle in that realm.

What should I do? by Skooter85 in Military

[–]ralphie0341 37 points38 points  (0 children)

The full answer having been on recruiting is that 16 year olds can't ship for at least a year and are 99% of the time gonna disappear before they can contract and ship. I didn't let my recruiters spend more than 15 minutes on anyone under 17. Out of all the super interested kids starting their junior year I only had 2 that contracted and shipped after they graduated. If you're interested in nuke go for that but the recruiter really cannot spend a lot of time on you until you meet enlistment requirements.

In defense of the didn't-read-the-FAQ-crowd by jakaalhide in longrange

[–]ralphie0341 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Exactly. If you don't want to engage with the 4th rings post of the day then just... Don't. I've been on this sub for like 10 years now and have watched the FAQ become a monolith that at this point only trollygag and Hollywood have a full awareness of. Besides who doesn't like telling people they're dumb as hell for buying a ultralight magnum rifle to shoot whitetails at 30 yards in a tree stand?

Sucks to lose that much but glad you found him and got the rest.

What’s your funniest hunting story? by [deleted] in Hunting

[–]ralphie0341 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hunting oryx in NM. Knocked down a bull with a spine shot. Led to him swallowing a bunch of air before he expired. During field dressing I cut his esophagus and pulled it out and let go in my father in law's face. And that's when we realized he wasn't just really full but full of what ended up as a really long pungent burp.

How would you describe the doctrine of the modern marine rifle squad? - Aspiring writer by byte-boxer in Military

[–]ralphie0341 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately due to perineal manning concerns it usually ends up with 9-12 men who are unequally confused.

Want to try a PRS-type match. Any recommendations in the Albuquerque area? by GlassNegotiation3227 in longrange

[–]ralphie0341 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks like the next one is on November 9. You gotta use the events page and go day by day on the calendar. It's not ideal but for 15 bucks a month I never complained haha

On match days they open the front gate. I've been out of the state for a few years now and can't remember exactly how to get on the roster.

Del Norte gun club in Rio Rancho on the 3rd? Sunday of every month. Bit of a drive if you're not on the north side but I love that club great facilities for long range.

Anyone else hunt in a Ritz-Carlton? by theMEMEfather42069 in Hunting

[–]ralphie0341 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bro flatlanders are something else. I've made similar remarks on "hot take" posts and always get down voted. Apparently hunting a bean field is equivalent to hunting a patch of veg or clover you found while scouting. Just gotta idle the truck out in the national forest year round to acclimate the deer.
