LEGIT WAR CRIMINAL posted:Firing RPG-7s in Bulgaria was pretty cool. I got to fire an RPG-7 in Georgia and it was neat, as well as fire a bunch of Cold War-era Warsaw Pact assault rifles because apparently we had a shipping container full of ammo that needed to be used. We could see the firing range from our building and would sit and watch the Georgians fire RPG-7s all day.

HATE CURES TRANNYS posted:Worst part about grenades was running a range using them. Run from one side of the course to the other! Now back! Again! OK throw the dummy grenades! We forgot to tell you to keep your pins! Oh our bad we counted wrong! Wait in line for six years to throw live ones! Ahhhh! Heh, last Summer we threw live ones which was much less lame than doing it in BCT. I think I was on that range for maybe 30 minutes if you don't include the lame practice grenade qualification course beforehand. Even if the boom is underwhelming, as a lovely thrower it's fairly terrifying. I really want to see a CG or other RR shot in person. I can only imagine how they compare to live AT4s.

I saw a guy try to lob it like you're trained to, gently caress it up and have the grenade sail straight up, hit the edge of the concrete barrier you're supposed to duck behind and fall right on the other side maybe a foot away. Dirt went everywhere, he got a jacking and it was hilarious. I was also doing a live fire section attack on ex last summer and when buddy went to clear the trench he did a J turn until he was facing the section and sprayed on full auto(into the dirt). I've never seen a senior NCO move as fast as I saw the CSM move to rip the guys weapon out of his hand, clear it, toss it on the ground and jack the ever living hell out of this guy. Then the OC comes in right after and gives just as bad a jacking. He spent the rest of the day just getting jacked up by various people.

We had some dude who was semi pro at baseball and he cleared the dam range it was insane. It snowed so there was random clear spots in a grouping, then two clear spots 50 feet past. Ive told it here before but they were running an SQ ( 4 week solder training for non combat troops) and the girl (90 lb soaking wet, 5 ft tall~) threw the grenade and it hit the ledge and came back at them.

Arishtat posted:Fortunately PFC Roommate was the last firer of the day so the rest of us packed up our poo poo, closed the range and went back to Vilseck while he and an NCO got to sit on the range and wait for EOD to come blow up the dud rocket. Range Control on Wildflecken was a sight to behold. Former US base, turned over to the Germans after BRAC in the 1990s. We still do ranges there occasionally (we were there on a Mk19/M203 range). We had paint grenades all day, and a grand total of five explosive M203 rounds to fire. CSM tried to pump us up over the chance to be one of the guys to fire A REAL LIVE EXPLOSIVE ROUND, but the usual happened- dumb poo poo, extra work, super long day, so by the end of the day none of us really gave a drat. I can't remember how they chose the five, but I'm sure PT scores were pretty much it. First guy fires. Dud. Call range control. Range control comes out an hour later. The only cool range control guy in existence says "Meh. Might as well fire the rest of your poo poo. 5 duds is the same to us as one." 2nd guy fires. Dud. 3rd guy fires. Dud. 4th guy fires. Massively disappointing boom. 5th guy fires. I guess it blew up, I was already packing my truck at that point. The shame is it was a really cool setup firing from one mountaintop at targets set up on the other one. But our unit, per Army tradition, had to throttle every bit of fun out of the experience.

Did they make him do push ups until his arms really hurt? Did they take him behind the bike rack and beat him unmercifully with their fists? Did they jack him off?

LEGIT WAR CRIMINAL posted:Firing RPG-7s in Bulgaria was pretty cool. A buddy of mine did this in Bulgaria, but the rocket they gave him wouldn't fire so the Bulgarian running the show stood in front of my friend with the tip of the rocket resting against his chest and fiddled with it until he was satisfied that everything was good. My buddy was sure the rocket was going to blow up and kill them all, but to the Bulgarian guy's credit the thing fired afterwards.

Pufflekins posted:Yea, but my boner was killed when we started throwing grenades shortly after. God grenades are underwhelming. Ain't that the damned truth. I was excited as a USAF dude to actually get to throw live grenades. I saw the first one go off and was highly disappointed. The only interesting part was that I had an excellent throw and ended up blowing one of the silhouettes clear out of the pit and off the side of the range. The day ended when we had two dud grenades in a row and had to call out EOD. Total buzzkill.

2/2SCR went to Bulgaria for a mini-MRE. It was loving awesome, at least as a PL. We did STX, LFX, everything, and we actually had open ground to drive Strykers all over the place as well as hills and trees to hide in, and urban areas to do MOUT. The MWR trips to Burgas and Sunny Beach were also legit. More big tits and cameltoe than I've seen anywhere else put together. Not sure if cameltoe is a good thing but it was at least intriguing. Sunny Beach is where some of my dudes banged those forest hookers. Kaliber knows all about it, although he didn't bang 'em.

The Bulgarians actually refused to come along at some points cause they were all like "gently caress this this poo poo's stupid why we walking this much, last time 2 SCR was here we got to ride in helicopters and poo poo." Sunny Beach was definitely cool though, Mamaia Beach in Romania was even cooler though. Also yes I banged a forest hooker in Bulgaria.

Well I guess it was more of a roadside hooker that I banged in the forest next to the road after parking the NTV in there. We were ADVON and me and another dude were going around and checking out the training area, saw a surprisingly legitimately good looking hooker as we drove down the road and figured hey why not. From what the Bulgarians said I overpaid by paying 5 Euros but w/e, 9/10 would do again.

My biggest regret from my military service was never getting to play around in Europe. The most excitement I had was having guns pointed at us while we smoke on a planes stairs in Romania, and getting drunk at a hotel bar in England on our way back home from Afghanistan.

Sunny Beach literally has a red-light district in the surrounding forest. Hookers standing next to their assigned trees, with little crates of condoms and other equipment.

I don't know if this is the dumb or courageous, but the 0_o thread has been dead for almost two months so I'll put it here. This is an except from "Horse Soldiers", a book about a Green Beret ODA team assigned to work with Dostum immediately after 9/11. The except covers their first insertion into Afghanistan. It has to do with the 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment. quote:The crew had landed at K2 on October 6th with the Chinooks and Black Hawk helicopters broken down neatly inside the dimly lit belly of the C-17 transport planes, and they'd have just 48 hours to reassemble them. No one had slept on the journey overseas, and when they finished tightening the last bolt and nut, they literally passed out on the oil-stained concrete next to the newly born behemoths. By then, they'd not slept in a week. Garfield walked into the hangar and barked "Wake up! We have a mission to do". Within eight hours they were ferrying supplies and CIA officers into scattered camps around the country, in preparation for the arrival of Nelson and his [ODA] team. So, that's pretty nuts. I gotta ask why they didn't use self-contained oxygen tanks though? It seems like a pretty simple solution, even if its only for the pilot. Going hypoxic and blacking out every day from lack of breathable air can't be good on the brain cells.

It's because there isn't a huge stigma against sex or sex workers in most of the rest of the world. If the US didn't have the stigma it did, more people than meth/crackheads would probably be street walkers.
