I think it's serious guys, I need some advice here: Does it look bad? (The EOD badge is also called the "Crab" cause it looks vaguely like a crustacean if you squint real hard :thatsthejoke: Now that graduation is around the corner, I can safely say that it turns out learning how to not explode when touching things designed to explode is actually really hard. Also PT will forever suck if you are a giant goon nerd babby like I am. Also also make sure you goons actually put effort into college or you'll end up having to blow poo poo up for a living with lots of C-4 instead of becoming a wildlife conservationist) I'll make some post about the badge/robots/cool bomb suits that you'll never use at some point, but for now I'm just happy to be done with this accursed school and want to tell goons about it so whatevs

A CRUNK BIRD posted:I hope you die OP Well, considering the current political climate, I'd say you'd have a pretty good chance of getting your wish granted sooner rather than later. Gonna try to avoid dying, though. All the consumer reports on being a ghost have been really negative as of late.

I'll ask the obvious question.... How realistic is "the hurt locker"? Reference for people that have not seen it https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=bwCEE7m38VM Bishop fucked around with this message at 05:12 on Feb 21, 2015 |

Bishop posted:I'll ask the obvious question.... How realistic is "the hurt locker"? It's about as accurate as any film-representation of military careers...which is to say "not really." That guy in the beginning would have had a decent chance to live if he was facing the IED with the suit on.

Heh, I just watched that scene and one dude jokes that they should start a business selling grass in Baghdad and the other responds that they could sell crab grass. Maybe the movie is bullshit but there's no way I would get that reference until this thread E: so the shock wave from a bomb that size going off wouldn't scramble your brains at that range? I literally have no idea but I find it to be interesting Bishop fucked around with this message at 05:26 on Feb 21, 2015 |

Oh there'd be all sorts of fun internal hemorrhaging and you would be deaf as all hell, but you could feasibly survive the blast wave with enough distance and protection. In the scene I think it's implied that a chunk of frag careening into the back of the dude's skull is what did him in (the visor gets all bloody a second after the thing detonates). Frag is p. much the worst thing when it comes to explosions.
