Hopefully by 'special forces' they mean '18X's that never went to the q course before ets'ing' but I doubt that's the case

e: I think I got 18X mixed up with the national guard groups, 18X actually go to the q course, don't they?

I'm pretty sure one of the unique aspects of Army SF in particular is that they DO plan their own operations and each team goes into isolation to do just that for each mission.

Sounds like they were both NCOs though and planning operations is an officers responsibility.

18X goes through infantry basic before eventually making it to selection and the Q course.

Same goes for NG SF groups, if they're trying to enlist straight into SF.

Having worked with a couple different groups, planning missions in isolation isn’t really a thing outside of Robin Sage. The last twenty years of bombing dirt has inhibited a lot of things. Jade Helm was supposed to fix that, but that went about as well this Venezuelan invasion.

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

It's a CSPAM thing, it's supposed to be the sound of your brain breaking or something like that.

Gov Pritzker issued detailed phase guidance for getting Illinois back to speed.

Nuts to think phase 4 is maybe late summer/fall and 5 is definitely 2021.

A good decision:

I've never had a problem with postponing state/local elections to give time for mail-in / absentee poo poo to work out, but outright cancelling this primary should've been a no-go from the start.

Ok I want to learn something today. How is it that those guys who walk around carrying or have a rifle strapped to their chest not get at least cited for brandishing or carrying a weapon in a threatening manner? Going to a government building or the residence of a state governor and having a bunch of rifles is certainly not a lawful use of a firearm. At least in my uninformed opinion.

I somewhat disagree with the above posts - it's due to the dumbass open carry laws that make this poo poo not a crime. White people love cosplay penis extenders.

Where I agree - if black people did it, nobody else would do it anymore and the open carry laws would be repealed.
