When I was at Parris Island back in 1978, one of our PMIs was a good ole red-headed Georgia boy. He was cool and a bit nuts. When he was giving us our orientation at the beginning of qual week, he spotted a Grandaddy long-legged spider and asked a recruit to dare him to eat it. Well, he did. He even let the legs dangle outside his mouth before he swallowed it. |

I don't believe the trainees are allowed to have fire-makers (lighters & such) in boot camp & thus they wouldn't have the means to singe the ends of the para-cord. The rubber "covers" (or duck tape/electrical tape/3m 300mph tape) are so that the light from the fiber optic can be dimmed down somewhat during daylight conditions. (The cheveron can become really blooming bright when the fiber optic is totally exposed to full sunlight) |

I asked about the Tassels, because of this pic. It appears that it has the cord going thru ACOG's Sight Channel and has a Small Knot at the Rear and the Large Tassel at the Front.
That's why I asked if they were using them for wind estimation. I still think that it's a good idea. As far as having Lighters at Basic/Boot Camp, When I went thru, back in '76, it was a Requirement. We had to get rid of all of the Irish Pendants by burning them off. I know the kids nowadays can't be trusted with stuff like that. LOL FLDiveCop, Thanks for the explanation for the covering of the FO on the ACOG. Makes sense to me, as I grew up across the river from Parris Island, My Father was a career Marine. |

When our series went to the range there were two black recruits with the last name Edwards, one in my platoon and one in another platoon. The other platoon's Edwards lost his firing pin and word got around to the DIs. Well, my Kill Hat who was an infantry Marine going back to Desert Storm, man was crazy, catches sight of our Edwards. He yells "EDWARDS" and off like a bolt of lighting sprints at E. Jumps up on the benches, grabs him and his rifle, and just gets into it like any good DI would do. My SDI finally moseys over to inform him that it was the Edwards in the other platoon. He lets go of Edwards, says "as you were," steps off the bench and walks away.
I know CSB but good times none the less. |

| I cant imagine the terror that went through that kid. Looking back there was so much stuff I could've gotten away with. We had a guy from Haiti with us. When they needed him or was scolding him they called him a "Black Haitian bitch" also had a dude with a huge nose, he got coined as Birdman. They made him squawk and strut around. |

I know CSB but good times none the less. Similar incident happened to me during 2nd phase at Pendleton. Our senior lost his shit on me and had me packing my shit to get dropped to another platoon when one of the juniors informed him he had the wrong guy. I was told to unfuck my shit and get back to the range, all like it was my fault.

It is interesting to note that the part number used on the UID label in this pic (9349102) is that of a stripped M16A4 lower receiver rather than that of a complete weapon (12973001) which is normally seen. I wonder if this is because either the weapon received a replacement lower receiver, or if perhaps this is a service-wide change so that there is no part list conflict should a collapsible stock be attached (which would technically conflict with the part number list for 12973001). For that matter - It's been a while since I've seen any factory-fresh newly manufactured A4s passing through the services. Anybody know what / when the last contract for them was (complete weapons that is, rather than just for replacement components)? |

Small heads up - If you're looking to pick up a BFG (NSN Vickers / issue-type) sling setup for your A4 cone, now would be the time... as BFG (Blue Force Gear) is currently having a Labor Day 20% off entire cart sale from now until the 5th.

When in Iraq Staff and Officers got m4's first, then sgt's and leftovers to E-4's. All the staff nco's and officers excluding platoon sgts and commanders then checked them into the armory and carried pistol around for their deployment because they never left the wire. So you have an entire headquarters platoon worth of carbines just sitting in the armory collecting dust for 7 months instead of going to guys that would benefit from their use. |

Jumps up on the benches, grabs him and his rifle, and just gets into it like any good DI would do. My SDI finally moseys over to inform him that it was the Edwards in the other platoon. He lets go of Edwards, says "as you were," steps off the bench and walks away.
