Pesticide20 posted:goddamn I have seen that video way too loving many times. Every loving day of airborne school, at least twice a day. Every. loving. Day. You watch it. You watch it until when you watch it, it's the video that's watching you. gently caress that video. I''ve been through airborne and I've never seen that video before. I guess my class lucked out or something.

Dead Reckoning posted:Many? All. Having been through that exact course too many times, I am completely certain that they write the solution that they want and then back a problem and description on to it, just like everything else at SOS. The lack of consistency in the obstacle materials is the most aggrivating part. That, or people who don't know what they are doing going rouge and trying to implement their own plan in the middle of an obstacle, like your sister taking her twentieth stroke on a mini-golf hole she refuses to give up on. That's what I thought too, but I only went through I think 3 of those things and two of them were the exact same problem/solution wrapped in a slightly differently. (lean these poles together and put the long one reaching from the stack to the destination and crawl across without falling in the water/rocks)

Proposed ground mount of GAU-8, from the DIVAD program that lead to Sergeant York. Too beautiful for this world. quote:Not surprisingly, the General Electric Company proposal adapted their successful 30mm GAU-8 seven barrel cannon to an antiaircraft turret. In this mount, the externally powered GAU-8A was manned by a crew of two. Both the commander and the gunner had firing controls and either could operate the entire system. Nicknamed the Avenger, the proposed weapon had an effective kill range of 4000 meters as a design goal. Originally, the radar was an improved version of the one developed for the earlier Vulcan air defense system with which the fire control equipment had some items in common. Later, a more advanced radar system was proposed. Frosted Flake fucked around with this message at 23:25 on Apr 13, 2016 |

Does anyone remember that air show from several decades ago where the entire flight or pack or squad or whatever of blue angels (or whatever) left big long poo poo smears on the earth in perfect, beautiful symmetry because they watched the lead plane gently caress up and fail to pull up in time, but as good disciplined little Americans, they refused to break formation, effectively laying upon the altar of entertainment and excess their taxpayer equipment and souls? Doe anyone remember that?

Nostalgia4Dicks posted:I met a good handful of Royal Marines and they were always swole as gently caress I tried to drink with two of them who were in the Falklands. The older one was in when the RN still had a rum ration, and personally knew the guy who put two Carl Gustavs into the Guerrico. That turned out to be a mistake.

I like that they've created a weapon system ideally suited for mowing down street protests, and are making no attempt to disguise that fact.
