I would fucking leave, because I have zero interest in being under an MLRS barrage.

I even have very minimal interest in being at the SENDING end of an MLRS barrage.

You can call them something in return, but the fucks won't be able to hear you.

In my limited observation, 13Bs have the AFQT of the infantry, the drinking habits of the tankers and the same pre-enlistment criminal waivers as the 88Ms. You can’t hurt their feelings. They have none.

If you guys are all going to do reconnaissance, what command unit will you associate yourself with? How will you communicate with these command elements?

Are you familiar with the various Information Requirements (CCIR as an example) and how they fit into MDMP? Even basic reporting formats like SALT/ SALUTE or simple concepts like METT-C?

Are you going to set up hide sites and OPs? Have you been studying your old-school vehicle identification decks? Is that radio crypto and frequency hopping capable?

Have you thought about access to jalapeño cheese spread in theater? Those adidas motherfuckers might try to stiff you with just peanut butter.

This whole Recce thing seems like a tough row for some random dude, although, granted, those cool boots are cool and cool is cool, no doubt.

Split the difference. Recce rifle, DA vest helmet and pack. Ditch the camo. Both sides are wearing almost identical camo so you're probably gonna get shot at by everyone. Wait for darkness, then go out and play.

That’s a lot of fancy gear to look like a regular guy.  In counter-insurgency the troops look for clues like nice shoes as indicators of people in need of attention.

You're coming around the the better way of thinking.  Blend in with your environment.  In any modern urban environment you'll just look like an obvious target dressed and kitted like that.

Go grab some normal gear from OP, North Face, Mountain Hardware, Arc'teryx, etc.  Layer that over concealable body armor.  CCW a sidearm.  Get a good cell phone and maybe a small dual band UHF/VHF ham radio (to listen mainly).  And put an SBR in an unassuming backpack.  Anything else you need in your pockets and backpack.  No web gear, battle vest, etc...that's just painting a target on yourself.  Stay away from Mole, Camo, velcro, etc.  Look like a guy walking home from his shift at work.

Not a single morale patch? No clever sayings or call signs? Definitely not tactical enough. You'd die almost immediately.

Whatever setup is worth more, because I’m going to find my way to the nearest border and sell the shit to get back home. Why TF do I want to fight for a semi-communist corrupt foreign country against another fully-communist corrupt foreign country?

Ukraine made its bed... it could have released the truth on Biden and his liberal cronies involved in money laundering schemes and ended his POTUS campaign in it tracks and prevented Trump’s impeachment... instead Ukraine hid evidence of corruption, the potato got elected, and Putin creamed in his pants when he saw just what a weak dementia addled imbecile Biden actually is.

Ukraine made it’s bed... they can lay in it.  Sucks for the 90% of regular people there though.

Yeah, I think there's a bit of a disconnect here.

When I think "recce" I think long range surveillance  and slick R&S teams creeping around like British ninjas on a CTR:
