I dunno, looks like a regular vhf/uhf antenna to me? :confused: It's been a while since I played with radios, though.

Do they even make the cooks do the shooting and breaching poo poo? That seems like a bit of a waste.

They still do shoothouses on occasion, they're obviously not as well rehearsed as the line squads but they'll still run through it. I don't think they get to mess with door breaches, though, or if they do it's pretty well supervised. The cooks, clerks and other support guys usually end up driving and gunning on strykers during deployments, though, so they still get to be Rangers a little bit.



Tried to find the version of that recruiting poster for supply that had my old supply sgt on it, no luck so have a post-grenada poster instead.

No but they shoot til they can't lift their arms anymore, and then come back and do it again the next day. Only place in the military where I ever saw anything like it. You go grab 7 full mags, ready ups til they're gone, then run over and grab 7 full mags, and do it over and over and over until you are dead. It's loving ridiculous how much money is floating around in ranger bat.

Same.

We'd always get a fuckload of ammo and have to shoot it all. 240 ranges sometimes meant using up the pallet of ammo you got or just shooting until all the guns broke. During a trip to Yakima we did a big gun range with a 4 ft tall pallet of 7.62, 5.56, 50 cal and 40mm for the mk47. That was all for three weapon squads, so maybe 30 dudes. We spent all god drat day trying to burn through it. Gustav guys shot way more than the 6 you're supposed to shoot in training and ended up with headaches and poo poo from the extra overpressure.

That director should have stopped at one movie. Moon was goddamn amazing, and if he had never made Source Code, he could have just been this mysterious recluse who emerged to direct the best sci-fi movie of the new millenium, never to be heard from again. Like Bill Watterson or Walter M. Miller, Jr., or Joseph Heller (yeah, I know Heller wrote more stuff, but no one could tell you what it was).
