The sound guy was probably just another member tbh, I think all we have at the legion hall in our back room is an amplified speaker system and some mics. Nothing fancy.

There are probably three people in GIP that I'd say it makes sense for (based on what I know about them). You're one.

There's absolutely nothing wrong with serving, be it enlisted or commissioned. There is, however, a loving monstrously large amount of things wrong with most of the people enlisted or commissioned and the leaders calling the shots :(

I was screaming so loud they heard it in the CP half a km away.

I once pulled security for an A Team and their Free Iraqi Army (or Iraqi Free Army, or whatever the gently caress that group of dickhead called themselves. The SF guys told us they were having issues with these new Iraqi forces, because each thought they were the legit military, even though every loving A Team had their own goon squad of them) load a cache into local trucks by chucking them around like that.

"Uh, S'arnt?"
"What's up, not Bulletsponge13?"
"Isn't that one fused?"


Wasn't just a cache. It was also a collection of UXO.


They got upset that we wouldn't get closer than 500 meters from that moment forward.

Reminds me of when we found an iraqi army mortar cache and the engineers/eod wouldn't come out to destroy it. So we loaded it into our trucks and took it to them. This was long before i'd learned to put a proper name to certain things and i'm surprised more people didn't lose their poo poo during the invasion.
