We need more above ground testing so NASA can shoot it with that bad rear end new HDR camera they used on a rocket.

I'm morbidly curious to see how quickly a stryker brigade with nothing beyond javelins, at4s and MGS support could roll though all the 'seasoned veterans' that have somehow managed to survive this long.

Air and artillery support?

To keep it 'even', they can use their attached mortars but no other inderect or CAS. It'd still be like a Harlem Globetrotters game, though. Just look at what a company of Rangers and a CAG squadron can do in a day with nothing but some little birds and humvees.

Maybe it's like when they teach you to pull all the slack out of a 50 cal mount. I thought the springs were there to save wear and tear but apparently not letting them do their job makes it more accurate and what the gently caress do I know, I'm just a private...

I was walking through bartells to buy some random stuff and spotted this in the magazine rack.



Guess which unit they spend 99% of the magazine blowing?
Seals, of course



But they did include a nod here and there to our other sof units. Like the delta rangers :downs:

When I was in, rip cadre said something like 97% of dudes in Delta were former Rangers. That might include dudes that went sf along the way, I dunno. We probably attract more dudes capable of making it through the physical part of selection, not to say sf is weak, but there's some next level meat heads in battalion


not caring here posted:

I think I worded that poorly. What I meant was rangers being the worst pick of what you could dig up at JSOC, not that all of JSOC sucks.

But it seems seals get an even worse rap, but I've never met a seal except for dudes whose uncle is totally a seal bro.

They don't pull from jsoc for the most part, they pull from the army.

Rangers are a perfectly capable direct action unit, but I don't envy anyone that has to deal with their washouts.

And uh, how much can actually be said about red wings at this point?

Delta needs and hires support guys, too. The selection isn't nearly as rigorous as the one for operators, naturally, but you can get in the unit.

And guys trying to be operators don't bother going to selection until they've already had a few years of being a squad leader under their belts. It doesn't matter if you crush the land nav portion, if you don't have enough leadership experience they'll ask you to come back and try again when you do.

the first time I threw a practice grenade I hosed it up much like that, it hit a branch and bounced down right in front of the position. In my defense you don't throw them like a baseball and its super awkward.

They teach you to throw in a pretty retarded way though, I could never hit anything doing that stupid shot putt technique they teach you.

no no you punch the grenade through the air, aka 'throw with a natural motion', obviously

Maybe it's the only way they could get people who've never mastered the fine art of catch to throw consistently.

What are the rules for keeping captured guns and such? I imagine it's "you can't" because war trophies are too cool to be a thing in 2017.

the rule is you hide it in something so customs agents don't find it when they do their half-assed search
