What is your favorite gear?

What would you fix/replace if you were Da King?

How was Yakima?

How was the food?

Did you get to try out your new anti-helicopter flares?

You know, all the important stuff!

What is your favorite gear? I love the new sleep system, because, well, I like to sleep.
I do like the M4 system.  I have used both with all the goodies like ACOG, rails, and such but really just perfer the good old M4 with a M68, BUIS, and TT single point sling. The MOLLE gear is good, but I perfer to use a TT MALICE vest and pack.  

What would you fix/replace if you were Da King? I would make a more comfortable IBA/OTV body armor system

How was Yakima? Yakima sucks, but its much better than Baghdad

How was the food? Ugh, you have to ask?

Did you get to try out your new anti-helicopter flares? nope.  I had to teach BFV NETT all AT to our new Engineer Company.

You know, all the important stuff!


We were back from AT for 4 days then off for another 16 days for BFV gunnery.  Just got back last night.  Trying to decide on what I'll spend my TDY money on and catch up on some sleep.

What is your favorite gear?
The M4 and M16A4 (especially if I were allowed to put an M4 stock on it).
Sleep system is a vast improvement over the old sleeping bag

What would you fix/replace if you were Da King?  Give the option of collapsible stocks on full length M16's.  Find a way to give the Bradley the ride comfort of the Stryker.  And at the very least give us the A3 version.
Some sort of lighter, but still at least as protective IBA.
Slightly larger MOLLE ruck.
And those super death ray rounds that some military "authors" think we have.

How was Yakima?
Didn't have to go because of my no FTX profile.  But I'm sure it sucks the same as it always does.

How was the food?
You're not serious are you???

MBitter Radios, shitcan all B model SINGARs

YTC was hot, dusty and too long as always

Oasis, well you can only eat so many sandwichs and the contracted meals for the DFAC where worse than what we had Mermited into us in IRaq.

I dont recommend shooting your 12gauge signal flares at Army Helos.

Bradley Gunnery was interesting.

I promise Not to "say hello" with my M60D, IF you promise not to shoot flares at my BlackHawk.  
that sort of shenannigans makes my pilots nervous and causes me headaches.

First of all, you probably aren't flying around locked and loaded, unless you are on the range.

Second, I had to pay for my flares and I'm not wasting them to look at some damn helicopter.

Babes, yes....some damn noisy, windy helicopter, no.

If I want to knock your helicopter out of the sky, I'll vote for a democrat.

The majority of wars in the last 100 years where started by Democrats so I doubt this will happen.

Between sending you out on some hopeless mission to get shot at and the spare parts they'll refuse to fund...

That would make a great sig line, but only people in the WHTF would understand...
