If you commit a crime in the military but its not discovered until years later after you've gotten out what happens? Are you still subject to the UCMJ or do they have to find a federal law to charge you with as a civilian?

When I was about to leave bootcamp there was a kid there with thick rear end dreads that I guess they couldn't figure out how to cut with clippers so this guy walking around with a massive amount of dreads and his cover just sitting on top a good half foot off his head. I don't know what happened but I bet he hated life for a few days. I mean bootcamp stories are dumb but seeing a dude walking around in uniform with dreadlocks was pretty funny

enlisting is fine as long as you choose a good MOS. There is a world of difference between doing IT work in the air force and getting a security clearance, and going infantry in the marines.

the 203 thing is fairly common with the orange training rounds due to the fact that there is less over sight than a live grenade range.

Japan is an awful country and their warhawks have been absolutely spoiling for a fight the past 10 years. I want them to get in a shooting war with someone and get their dicks stomped on so loving hard. I want to watch liveleak videos of helos with anime girls painted out the side getting blown up also their food is bland compared to korean/thai/vietnamese etc

He also didn't understand about fallout. yeah but because the public was scared of nukes there was political pressure not to use them. The civilian population might not have found out about the existance of nukes for a decade if not more. Imagine a cold war with atomic weapons the public doesn't even know exist

Honestly cows, goats, and possibly sheep are like the only farmed animals that don't have poo poo lives aside from very small scale chicken operations. Chicken and pigs are depressing and smell. Feed lots for cows are awful as well but that at least is only the very end of their life and not their entire existence.

my fav part of the military is the marines forcing the sgt thats been in for 10 years to live in the barracks but the 18 year old that got married to a chick he dated for a year in high school gets a house. this was because all the line units had just gotten new barracks that were actually nice (for marine standards) except out battalion was only stood up for a few years and was stood down in 2012-13 so they obv didn't build us any so our VETERAN WARRIOrs are just living in loving cinder blocks for literallly 10 years of their lives in rooms where the lighting is as bright as a loving opium den really though the marines pushed for unmarried NCOs to live in barracks because the civil engineers that designed the traffic leading into/out of base should be summary executed PookBear fucked around with this message at 16:41 on Apr 3, 2019 |

HiroProtagonist posted:Breaching rounds don't work that way, they're little metal fletchette type splinters in a mini sabot to maximize penetration of the (metal) and minimize spalling and ricochets after they straight up blast a hole in door hinges. They're designed to evaporate, not penetrate. If you wanted to murder anyone within 50m or more sure though they're not flechettes good lord, they're a slug of metal powder pressed together with just enough heat to stick together but evaporate on impact  flechettes are the nail gun from quake

lazy dog bombs are small metal nerf footballs you dump out of planes and they 100% rely on gravity and come screeching in at 200 mph  Experimental Lazy Dog projectiles of various shapes and sizes were tested at Air Proving Ground, Eglin AFB, Florida, in late 1951 and early 1952. An F-84 flying at 400 knots and 75 feet (23 m) above the ground served as the test bed while a jeep and a B-24 were the targets.[4] The result was eight hits per square yard. Tests revealed Shapes 2 and 5 to be the most effective. Shape 5, an improved basic Lazy Dog slug, had the force of a .50 caliber bullet and could penetrate 24 inches (61 cm) of packed sand.[4] Shape 2 could penetrate 12 inches (30 cm) of sand—twice as much as a .45 caliber slug fired point blank.[4]

Alright this story happened a long time ago so some of the details might be off. I swear that this story eventually ties into the military. Back in 2005-2006 eve online was a new thing and it was the perfect game to goon rush. The initial period was one of much turmoil with many different goon groups rising, falling, and imploding not unlike orc tribes from warhammer. Finally a savior emerged as goon orc mentality saw the fattest and gooniest person and everyone rallied behind him. Dan Dargon AKA Remedial was a law school student who at the beginning was being supported by his parents whom I believe were also lawyers. Dargon however had a fatal flaw and could not resist the siren call of puerto rican pussy, largely because she was the first :female: to tolerate his presence much less spread her legs. Remedial's parents did not approve of their overweight manchild son dating an overweight puerto rican and once they became engaged decided to cut him off. Dear Leader now cutoff from his family check book and unable to get a fast food job as he couldn't understand the part where you give customers food instead of eating it asked goons for donations from his fellow eve goons so that he could pay rent, allowing him to continue playing space leader and going to law school. He was showered with a few thousand dollars and things were great for awhile. Soon however this was not enough, as he stole all the assets that his position as leader allowed him to get hands on and sold everything on ebay for more rent money. A few years go by and he is mostly forgotten about. He has finished law school and found employment in a law firm. One of the goons that did not forget went looking for him elsewhere online, and found him on a swingers website and found a photo of our dear chubby manchild with his baby dick in hand. Naturally, goons took to faxing this photo of him holding his baby dick to his law office. Another few years go by and he starts his own law firm dealing with mortgages, except that he does so illegally and is soon forced to shutter his office as he faces 300k in fines that he is unable to pay. And so he does the obvious thing: enlist in the army as infantry as an overweight failed Saul Goodman, resulting in what has to be the most over qualified company clerk in US history as I'm sure some 1st sgt cummed when he had access to PFC with a no poo poo law degree to do his paper work   http://badlawyernyc.blogspot.com/2011/07/im-not-really-happy-about-too-many.html https://www.linkedin.com/in/dandargon/ PookBear fucked around with this message at 17:27 on Jul 12, 2019 |
