A lot of uniform and equipment-related policies are stupid, made-up garrison bullshit, but some also exist for a reason. You know how in safety briefs you hear retarded poo poo like, "don't drink and jet ski with the post commander's daughter," and it's because some dumb motherfucker figured that out the hard way? Well, same deal here. Put your IFAK on your left; dummy-cord your nods; have at least 3L of water, seven mags, two Twinkies, etc. The cliché line here is, "have you ever seen Blackhawk Down?" Of course, the further away from reality you get (up the organization, removed from combat arms, peacetime, etc.), the sillier things get because people forget why certain things were done that way, and you instead wind up with the increasingly perverted policies that we all know and love.

You know what I actually liked? The MTMs. They were terrible when bouncing around on top of a truck, but for strolling around on the ground they were pretty rad. Same size as 14s, too.

Big Army has selected Sig Sauer's submission to the Modular Handgun System competition as the new service sidearm. Here's an load of Army Army Army gobbledegook: https://www.armytimes.com/articles/army-your-new-handgun-will-be-a-sig-sauer quote:"By maximizing full and open competition across our industry partners, we have optimized private sector advancements in handguns, ammunition and magazines and the end result will ensure a decidedly superior weapon system for our warfighters." e: It's the P320.

The P320 is touted as a totally modular handgun. The basic design is such that the actual firearm is just a small chassis (trigger pack, really) which holds the working bits. That entire chassis can be lifted out of the frame and swapped into other frames of various sizes. The slide assemblies are also obviously interchangeable. Basically, it just makes swapping parts around trivially easy, and thus be adapted for different people and different purposes.

There was a guy in my basic platoon who enlisted right before the cutoff (42, I think?). He shipped out of the same MEPS that I did, and it became immediately clear that he was a total fuckup, hence why he wasn't getting anywhere in civilian jobs. He got recycled because he could not shoot for poo poo, like not even get on the white paper they'd put up around the target. What the gently caress, guy? e: 42, that makes a bit more sense

I still have a year of IRR left. I just have the green ID. Not sure if I'm actually allowed to use post facilities, but nobody's given me a hard time about it, so I'd guess that it's a-OK.
