I didn't even watch it until after that. Because I like Sean William Scott a lot and I think it's an okay show with him in it. Plus the other guy was a real life scum gently caress so eh

I'm pretty sure there are only 5 concertina gloves in the whole of the Army. And I don't mean pairs. Ruined a lot of gloves for some pointless FTXs in my time!

Whoever gets issued the C-wire gets plenty of c-wire gloves, the problem is they're immediately lost. Like lost before anyone even gets a chance to use them.

Saw a unit in the field a while back doing setup and I was shocked to see half a dozen or more sets of C-wire gloves.

Once they started tearing down two weeks later, maybe one individual glove. Not sure if exuberance to leave the field or they were all lost, stolen, or c-wire gloves are actually sentient creatures that flee in the night.

This was literally a breaching tactic that we learned at the engineer school. I'm sure it's less effective against triple strand concertina with the barbed wire and poo poo running through it, but it worked for single strand.

the barbed wire is the key

the regular concertina even in triple strand setup has some play in it that will let you put plywood (or a body) over it

the barbed wire is much more taut and messes with that

When I did a JRTC rotation a while back, we did a patrol around our COP during the COP defense event and found a plywood board outside the C-Wire. Tossed that poo poo right in and during the G-Man assault, a team ran up to where the plywood was and just stood their confused for a bit trying to figure out what to do next.

Plywood > Carpet > Gloves > C-Wire

How did fuckwit not get his rear end beaten to within an inch of his life when you got back from the aid station? If that poo poo happened to me I would exact revenge on said fuckwit immediately.

Heh, we had a guy in my company get completely entangled in cwire when he went to take a piss in the middle of the night. Also how does the AD army suck so bad at equipping people. Even my guard unit always had the gloves when needed.

Exactly. Swimmin in gloves when you dont need them. Constructing makeshift beds out of c-wire gloves we had so many when we didnt need them.

Man, I remember processing [other people] through IEE before their deployments. It was my job to give people their MOPP gear they were never going to use. It is so disheartening imagining my old co-worker mad libbing a Deid brief instead of actually grappling with what the logistics of a political stunt require.

Edit: from a planning standpoint. From what I can see: motherfuckers just did a find and replace on the GWOT requirements deployment list. Then they chopped out all of the health and welfare stuff cuz lol whataburger is 8 blocks away.

I'm sorry if I busted a kneecap on a trailer hitch while going to piss, or trip into some concertina wire while doing same, because some dude refused to let me borrow his nvg's for a sec so I could take a piss, they're gonna get hosed up. Would I have gotten in poo poo for it? Yeah, but I probably would have rated it as "worth it". I tackled a shithead over a toolbox and started beating the gently caress out of him before other people dragged me off of him because he kicked my chair out from under me, cause he thought it would be funny. Only through the good graces of I don't even know what I did not get busted down for it.

I wonder who Russia's next target is going to be, if oil prices get back down to sub-$50 per barrel. Finland, maybe? Didn't they (in the past 6 months or so) roll up a bunch of extremely shady businesses that had been building military bunkers in areas that would have strategic importance for an invasion along the coast?

Probably not, this is my Finnish two cents on the subject:

- We have a pretty clever prez who's been good at using the leeway Finland has in foreign policy, considering we're still not a NATO country but an EU member. While Finland's observing the sanctions, the prez has been playing nice enough with Russia so that our relationship with Russia is still existant, without going for the "yeah we're just gonna bend over for Russia's interests" angle.

- Finland is an anomaly in the European Union, in that the peace dividend thing from the Cold War never happened here. Finland's been developing it's military to be more capable for the last 20 years. The military is even increasing the number of reservists for the first time since 1991, and as the numbers play out, Russia would need to pull out all the stops to actually do a military solution.

- There's no issues with Russian nationals in Finland, unlike the post-Soviet nations.
