Yeah I'm super confused because whenever I loaded either of the two crew served weapons I used I always looked at what I was doing.

From my understanding you’re supposed to keep your eyes downrange and be able to do it by muscle memory, at least in NSW. I never got that far lol.

It’s kind of a bummer that YouTube has taken down all of the Syrian rebel recruitment videos because you could easily mash them up with “Push It to the Limit” or whatever 80s action movie montage music you wanted and have a seriously fun video.

It cuts both ways, though- I think there was some National Guard recruiting commercial that was played before some movies in the early 2000s that synced up wonderfully with some Hizballah nasheeds.

That seems like dumb boot poo poo you do when you’re bored in basic. Not visually checking that you are properly loaded and clear of obstructions seems like a lovely trade for the 1 second you lose watching your sector. Clearing a jam or misfeed is definitely going to require more attention.

Sounds like something someone with minimal arms training would make up because they think keeping your 'work area' at eye level on an M4 or pistol is still a good idea on a loving mk46 or 48.

Obviously I don’t know much about the particulars of his situation but especially back then, when they didn’t have unlimited applicants, getting performance dropped in third phase typically meant they hated you but couldn’t make you quit.

Friend of mine got dropped in the SWCC version of SQT because he glanced down while loading a crew served weapon. Even today you can get one chance to roll back (he had already rolled due to an injury). So “safety violations” are an easy way to thin out the class if you’re already past selection or just don’t like one dude in particular. The fact that they didn’t roll Dan back after he had almost made it screams that the instructors didn’t want him to make it.

Guys mixing a nasheed over trap music and calling it "arab trap" was actually a thing for a bit. Its now a legitimate thing with people doing proper songs and stuff with classic arab songs (tunes? Chords? Idk) mixed in. :v:

Man, the beat is just a little off between the two songs. If someone were to speed up the nasheed just a little bit, it'd be absolutely perfect

Sounds like the exact dude who "trains to standard not time" exactly to dick over people going about their days otherwise.

I would bet cash money that, assuming that guy is even a real NCO, he would never actually have the balls to tell a colonel to take their hands out of their pockets.

Edit: and neither would I, but that's not lack of guts. I'm just not such a hollow shell of a man as to give a poo poo about uniform infractions.
