None of the articles list his rank, but I am guessing he is was probably an E5-E6 by now since he was a PFC in this 2010 photo:



My wife saw an article that said he was an E5.

Not that I think he'll be overburdened with an abundance of rank anymore, seeing as how he was released to his company commander and post provost marshal.

82nd Airborne soldier walked into a Fayetteville mall with an AR-15 and IBA on to go get pictures taken at a photo studio in the mall. None of the articles list his rank, but I am guessing he is was probably an E5-E6 by now since he was a PFC in this 2010 photo:

Supposedly this is what he was wearing, according to the CNN video. They also refer to him as a gunman (okay, I guess that's sort of true).

At least he has his water source with him.

At least if he was shot, the first responders wouldn't have to waste their own first aid kits, and could easily identify where his was, due to strong leadership dictating all IFAK be marked with high speed red tape.

Your time will come.
That sweet pic I have by the Hescos isn't good enough because I'm wearing PFC rank. I'm too impatient to wait for the unit to go to a range and take all the pictures I want. I'm too stupid to not put magazines in my pouches so it looks like I'm carrying an assault rifle and full combat load of ammunition into a crowded mall.

Something's fishy here. All this talk of the 82nd and no one has dropped the term "spec ops"?

Or is that only when there's no media outlets around?

Well, everything about that story now makes sense. Guy didn't actually do anything wrong, but it was still a pretty dumb way to go about it. Regular people, of course, freak the gently caress out about anything and everything, and here we are now.

I don't think anyone freaked out, but if I'm in some building and I see some rocking a full combat load I'm gonna ask someone a question. and someone's probably gonna call 911.

It was loving dumb. If he absolutely had to have his picture with perfect lighting in a studio he should have brought it all in a duffle bag and changed in the studio. Nobody would have even looked twice once he was standing in front of the camera. Strolling through the parking lot like that makes me wonder how much of the 'tism he has because that is seriously out-of-touch.

So now I get to start ABOLC with the next class instead of waiting until October. Get to find out my unit sometime in the first few weeks of the course, have my fingers crossed for some place outside of the South. However apparently only a minority of armor officers are sent to tank platoons these days so chances are I'll be going to a cav scout unit. Don't really know hardly anything about cav scouts other than the poo poo talking between cav scouts and infantry on post.

Scouts are marginally less gay than infantry, but even that is arguable.

They are, however, better behaved (or get caught less) than infantry so you've at least got that.

No, scouts are way more loving gay than infantry in behavior. Take infantry retardedness, and amp the motard up to 11. Example: giant fuckoff sign on cav scout batallions hq reads "IF YOU AINT CAV YOU AINT poo poo". That was on my base in Germany. The cowboy cosplay is just icing on the cake.

they might as well make the duty uniform for cav scouts be realtree because they're all loving the whitest of hicks, at least the infantry is mostly middle/upper middle class white boys and mexicans
