Every time I watch that it makes me think of being in WLC, trying with 5 other infantry guys and a couple rangers to teach a bunch of national guard faggots some of whom were army band how to loving be grunts in the field. We managed to get them to 'ok' because the other groups ran into our loving linear ambush like those idiots in that video, right down a road in the open.

Because the Marines accepts some really dumb people and promotes them and this is those dumb people's idea of "discipline".

Also those peoples ludicrous idea of acceptable standards for a footpath, and nobody with authority is gonna okay the use of actual money to clean the gravel.

My hypothesis is that a lot of stupid military traditions started as NCOs with actual OCD who had the manpower to enforce their hangups.

Because enlisted people with nothing to do, make up poo poo to do, and everyone in the military especially the enlisted are dumb as gently caress.

The autoloader looks exactly the same on the t-72 and t-90. Do they both also have the ammo run in a circle around the turret ring?

I thought there was that nice little grass patch near the Northwestern Barracks but Google Earth points out that the only green thing on that base is the weenie. So yeah, has to be Pendleton

From what I've heard, that was more a T-64 or BMP thing. The T-72 and onward has the autoloader far enough out of the way and blocked off so you basically need to purposefully shove your arm in. I need to find this one documentary from Russia about the T-90. It was all in Russian with a Cyrillic title (which is why it's so hard to find), but it's available in full on YouTube. They had a local TV personality "join" a tank training school and learn all the basics of operating and caring for a T-90. It's impossible to understand fully unless you speak Russian but has a ton of really neat footage.

Also, I paid for a month-long key for Steel Beasts. The general implication it's given me is that gunnery in an Abrams is almost like cheating compared to other contemporary tanks.
