HAHAHA That PVS-2! I used PVS-4s when training in Korea, there are no words for how badly they sucked. Maybe it was because they were 30 years old and probably hadn't been maintained in 20 of those years. I can't imagine anything being worse and still usable for anything.

I just managed to avoid signing for one of those boat anchors on the last deployment.
They sucked then, they suck now. Still better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick, but not by much.

I've actually got an A1 mount(or two) for the PVS-2. Anybody know a retro-mall ninja?

And chrome guns. Any gun. Chromed.

Is it wrong that I want one of Classic Arms' chrome AK underfolders?

It's just the most obnoxious thing. Very 'Saddam -era', as well.

I've always liked the unofficial Brit version.

Kicking in doors, digging in gardens (KIDDING) was a real acronym for awhile.

Sweet. One of our teams in OIF 1 ended up seizing a MANPAD doing exactly that.

What model is this?


Man all these terms were so common in like 03-06 and now no one uses them like ever.


Well I guess except maybe in ppts in theater, or maybe AIT or something, I dunno?

I believe that is an SA-7 ground-to-air missile, standard bad guy issue.

You know what I hate, even more than useless 'backronyms'?

When they CHANGE ESTABLISHED ACRONYMS FOR NO loving REASON.
Need a new part for your gas mask? Fine. Go see the NBC sergeant. NBC? NO, gently caress YOU. CBRN.

Then again, I've been in since dinosaurs ruled the earth. I'm cranky.
