You're the dude in Kuwait right? Hey if you're there when the PA guard retards show up look for a tall, skinny, awkward female E7 named Lars. Tell her Leanne says hi and he has eyes everywhere. Then run away.

Yes I know you probably won't see her or remember, or care, but it's a hilarious mental image for me, humor me.

Just read this and would like to say I am one of the PA guard retards currently sitting in Kuwait. I loving hate this place.

Haha poor guy. Is this your first deployment?

Unfortunately yes, fortunately, our sister PA guard brigade is deploying somewhere more dangerous next year so I might hop on that one.

Have you seen a little baby-faced 13F private from California around? My buddy hopped onto a PA Guard deployment to Kuwait

He has a Napoleon complex and possibly hooah-induced ADD if that narrows it down at all.

If you PM me his name I'll be sure to lookout for him and call him a POG.

Oh christ, those stupid loving things.

We also have a thing here called "ranger platoon" which does the a lot of the things we do in lab (which are kinda fun, admittedly) but more often. Of course, they also do a shitload of extra PT, so gently caress that. Apparently a few days ago they did "room clearing." I had a vague idea that it was some SWAT-type thing for how to force your way into a building without taking casualties.

Turns out that it's actually a fully choreographed maneuver, fully explained in field manuals which are available online. That's right! When entering buildings filled with booby traps and gunmen, American soldiers are expected to perform a very specific and highly predictable set of movements in concert with each other. And these cadets, having learned how to do this ridiculous dance, think they are suddenly high speed operators or some poo poo.

Forgive me if I'm mistaken and this technique actually works but it seems like it would be really easy for each and every one of our enemies to specifically train to counter it. I suggested it would be way more efficient to just set the building on fire.

tl;dr cadets are willing to believe blatantly ridiculous aspects of their training are turning them into elite warriors.

What kind of super POG rear end MOS did you sign up for that you've never heard of room clearing?

Guy in my Unit, whom I also went to high school with, just got picked up on Child Abuse charges. He's also trying to claim PTSD despite never going on a combat deployment.

2 Years ago we had a guy in our unit for one drill before he was arrested for Child Porn.

My old 1SG was on the Sex Offender's Website (deviant sexual acts with a minor). PAANG is ok with it apparently.

Our company currently has a guy in jail for armed robbery, and Bravo's got a guy in jail for shaking an infant.

PAARNG is like a loving breeding ground for criminals.

I'm disappointed solely on the fact that it's called the SLAMRAAM. How can you shitcan something so cool sounding?

I said did. I upgraded to a messenger bag when I started taking my laptop.
I still love that loving backpack. And I think most people thought it was a hipster thing. The only people who carried that type of bag seemed to be hipsters at my old liberal arts college.

My grandfather was a pilot in Nam and I have one of his old jackets in my closet and the first thought I had when seeing it recently was "this probably goes for like 200 bucks at urban outfitters"

If you aren't wearing Oakley SI Assault boots you're wearing the wrong boots.
