Just saw one of those 15 second ads on youtube for MacDil AFB Airforce Reserve and it showed an F-22 flying around and then it showed a dad showing his son how to fish and then says something like "you hear that son? that's the sound of freedom."

If I were to make an ad for US Federal jobs, it would be a Grover analogue chasing a red laser dot right into a CGI anthropomorphic USAJOBS. com talking laptop.

Do you mean to tell me the U.S. Military issued you inadequate, beat-to-poo poo gear totally inappropriate for your mission?

Anything other than the ship provided toilet paper will clog the VCHT and if caught use is punishable under article 92.

I remember once we were having a swim day off the back of the ship somewhere in the South Pacific, so they lowered and flooded the welldeck so people could swim out... and they forgot to close the sewage off. Cue about 60 to 80 Sailors and Marines swimming in their own poo poo. Prophetic, really.

Koesj posted:The problem is not the autoloader per se, the Leclerc, K2, and Type 10 all have autoloaders but are more survivable because their ammo is stored in separate compartments with armored bulkheads and blowout panels to protect the crew from ammo cooking off after a hit (as in the M1, Leopard 2, Challies, etc.) The 'problem' (if you will) with Soviet designs from the T-64 onward is that they indeed store their ammo on the bottom of the turret in a rotating carousel. This is a robust system and provides for decent reload speed, while the armor on the forward chassis of the tank (aka the glacis) should provide enough frontal protection bar hits which would have taken out the tank anyway. The Iraqi T-72s that I poked my head into in April 2003 had basic sights, no laser rangefinder and shittacular radios. Supposedly they belonged to one of the Republican Guard divisions but those guys all ran away before we got there so who knows which unit they really belonged to. They could have been 'export models' or simply old stock that were never upgraded because Saddam wasn't interested in spending the money on the project. They appeared to be in good mechanical condition (at least before we blew a few of them up) and later on when our orders changed from destroy-in-place to coordinating for the abandoned vehicles to be recovered for re-use some of them were driven under their own power on to the HETs for transport to wherever the bosses decided to send them (probably that giant logistics base SSW of Baghdad).

So this is bouncing around on twitter: https://twitter.com/NewsNinja2012/status/373961292249182208/photo/1  Is that guy identifiable just by his ribbons? I assume he's not supposed to be saying stuff like that while in uniform?

They likely aren't going to do much at all. It'd take every jag in the military to handle all the cases of Sailors doing stupid poo poo in pictures.
