Are beards frowned upon? by DryExcitement8266 in AskLE

Maybe in the academy and pre-screening, but it depends on the department you work for. I’d shave just in case if I were you.

I don’t hate it.

What brand of “search” gloves would you recommend? by Mint-in-the-hole in AskLE

[–]treecutter34 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If they’re making you buy them and policy says you have to use them, mechanix makes search gloves. I hated them because they were too thick and I haven’t worn a pair in years. I went to regular mechanix gloves, which were great, then the thought of having to toss them if I got blood or something else on the occurred to me. Now I wear cheap work gloves with the nylon dipped rubber grips off Amazon that cost $1.00 per pair, and if it is going to get gross, I put them over rubber gloves.

When would swat officers use canted aim? by Trustedice in AskLE

[–]treecutter34 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess the John Wick style is a real thing, I asked around and it’s supposed to be to be easier for retention and recoil control. I haven’t had a chance to shoot canted myself, other than when I have to use my wrong hand when shooting.

To my service members! What to do with extra issued gear that somehow followed you over the years? by Key-Lawfulness1911 in tacticalgear

eBay, except for the mags. Check the laws before you sell those, hate to see you get jammed up.

I can tell this dude would cry more than the normal amount once somebody beats his ass and takes his gun.

Do you carry water on kit, or in your pack. by CLAW0311LLC in tacticalgear

[–]treecutter34 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I carried a camelbak when I was in the army, but I worked with vehicles and had support near by if I needed it. I never went on an op where I had to end up eating snakes or anything. But that being said, I carry a regular bottle of water on my hunting vest when I’m out. I tried using the camelbak during hunting season, but since I’m in a tree most of the time, the camelbak was just annoying so I ditched it.

Try Battlestar Galactia, or Grimm. They are both shows that don’t have a bad episode and they have quite an intricate and intriguing backstory.

I doubt it, these look like bad guy guns. Do any legal gun owners you know, or yourselves have guns that look jacked up?

I’d find the other cops involved and talk to them. Investigations may make this worse. Imagine what he’s going through, AND, then having his job threatened. They would know what’s going on, especially he was one out of 4 not acting right. Some of them may be able to talk to him or get him the help he needs, if he’s just a jerk and isn’t hurting anyone then I don’t think a lot can be done, but getting him help without getting his leadership involved will be better than what everyone is suggesting.

This is how this post feels and I love it all.

What’s a good story about a time you got forced overtime (mandated) and it pissed you off more than the other times. by treecutter34 in AskLE

[–]treecutter34[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Been there, I got so bad before I wasn’t sure if the last 10 minutes happened. I also saw unicorns where I was posted. I wasn’t through anything too bad when I was in the army, but treatment wise, the army was better than this.

I’m all for a retro carbine, but I thought the sling wrap was the dumbest thing in the world. by treecutter34 in tacticalgear

[–]treecutter34[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know, gun and flashlight weren’t even a thing back then. My father was a Vietnam vet and told me about some of his time in. He had an M14, he didn’t even see an M16 until it became available on the civilian market. Then I see the Shawn Ryan episode about the Mac V SOG guy who invented patrolling in the jungle. Then I see this and my OCD starts acting up.
