Uncle got some pretty cool memories though. One of his soldiers went AWOL after Iraq though he still worries about that guy from what I got.
The scary part is I know all these from internet memes. I have no fucking idea where they came from originally.You have no chance to survive make your time
Shitty thing was they gave it to us but told us we weren’t authorized to wear it. We got it upon completion of all the NWTC courses in Alaska, BMC, MWOC, ACC, and CWLC. There’s some kinda drama about it but it was a cool award even if we couldn’t pin it.

I shoot better bedding the rifle like it should be. When I was in SADR city and doing a boat load of clearing ops in tight quarters it was better and helped, but in Afghanistan it was like Vietnam patrol ops doesn’t take long to clear a mud hut and was more import to make well aimed shots. Ounces equal pounds too on that riflewhats wrong with vertical grips? Suck after prolonged use?
It's from the Japanese game Zero Wing where the translations ended up being hilarious Engrish at best.The scary part is I know all these from internet memes. I have no fucking idea where they came from originally.
Swap them 1 for 1 for East Germans?You know I love my comfortable mags
Let me think on that....Swap them 1 for 1 for East Germans?
interesting yea makes sense tho, that vertical grip could get in the way when trying to lay the barrel down on something - were the buildings mostly clear when you were clearing them over there? That would scare the absolute shit outta me trying to shoot a haji inside a clay buildingI shoot better bedding the rifle like it should be.

In Afghanistan yeah but a lot of left over intel and cache inside I gobbled up. I don’t think I got into a firefight inside of a mud hut while clearing. I cleared huts that’s had enemy KIA in them from engaging them outside to in. In Iraq I had a few clearing ops with insurgents on the inside holed up. Loud and chaotic and yeah scary as fuck. Those were more rare than the movies make you think though. A lot of gunfights outside the buildings, street firing into buildings and would usually hit it with some good ordnance and then clear the building of enemy KIA. Got into a few tics indoors though and they’re pucker factor 1 millyinteresting yea makes sense tho, that vertical grip could get in the way when trying to lay the barrel down on something - were the buildings mostly clear when you were clearing them over there?

I just wanna see a bomb come out of the sky and blow some shit up. that would be awesome to watchIn Afghanistan yeah but a lot of left over intel and cache inside I gobbled up.
