Rules: You post a picture or a youtube. You are allowed to describe the picture or youtube for context in however much text it requires. If you have a related picture, you may post it and again post descriptive text. If you do not post a picture or youtube in your post, and you do not stay on topic, you will be probated. If you post an unrelated picture or youtube to get around the above rule and continue an argument/debate/derail, you will be probated. If you post anything not directly related to military pictures or youtubes, you will be probated. Pictures. Pretty simple stuff. edit 12/22/12: You may post pure text provided that you STAY ON TOPIC. I will probate the poo poo out of you if you start to turn this thread into the old one. Vasudus fucked around with this message at 04:25 on Dec 23, 2012 |

After careful consideration (meaning that I got a single PM with a good point) I have decreed that you may post text in this thread to discuss pictures and youtubes. They must be military related and this thread will not be turned into yet another chat thread. You keep it on topic. If you poo poo it up or derail it intentionally you're still getting probated.

Doing decon for the first time as a brand new private was loving terrifying. I went to the field like 4 days after I got to my unit and the very first thing they did was a decon lane. We were told if any one of us contaminated ourselves the entire platoon would be a nogo. Being fresh from TRADOC I didn't want to be that guy, oh no, I'm in a 'real' unit now!!!! So I'm sitting there completely unaware that my mask intake thingie (the little umbrella shaped soft plastic thing that goes inbetween the filter and the mask) was actually in reverse. So instead of getting precious oxygen, I was actually poisoning myself with CO2 because the air was going out, but not back in. They were using smokers to simulate a chemical environment so I had no idea if the lightheadedness and stuff was related to breathing it in. Few minutes later, plop. Right into knee deep mud. Wake up to my entire unit laughing their asses off at me. gently caress chemical warfare.

Police buy milsurp vehicles all the time. It makes sense to have some of that equipment at the county level (or in large cities) because you need have it on reserve in the event you get some nutjob in a cabin. That doesn't excuse the paladin, though. That just excuses the fox/113s

Snowdens Secret posted:It makes you wonder when it becomes viable to do things like using the other guy's live feed / Youtubes as intel instead of risking your own drones / recon, and if there is value in putting up falsified / altered data as counterintel, beyond the propaganda value. OSINT (open source intelligence) is a semi-new and pretty interesting field. With social media being the thing it is now, it only makes sense to apply intelligence analysis to it.

Bensa posted:Guess someone needs to spell this out to everyone. The people in those pictures are not a good representation of the actual bulk of NK troops. These are most likely all Pyongyang inhabitants, the privileged bureaucrats and party members who are still required to do kabuki military exercises. Imagine the worst National Guard units multiplied a hundred fold. Well no poo poo, way to take a joke about fat people in a county in a state of perpetual starvation too seriously.

If I had to guess, they've never had any real combined arms training so they think that a TCP/mounted patrol is literally drive and park.

DCUs were pretty much the best camouflage for Iraq. Hell, even the woodland IBAs and other misc gear didn't really matter. I never really got to see much of the marine patterns in action so I would assume they worked pretty well too, given that they actually brought a desert pattern to the desert.

I seem to recall them trying digital/ACU patterns on vehicles but it turns out it gives anyone who looks at it a headache and they scrapped it. That should have been a sign that it's so terrible even our biology rejects it.

They also probably figured that no empire would want to spend the amount of money it would cost to reclaim some meaningless land on the other side of the world for the sake of ARE EMPIRE. Especially when they were in rough economic times. Boy, were they loving wrong.

The 113 is also pretty heavy at like 12 tons without equipment. Can an A10 lift that and the glider? Just how heavy duty of a glider are we talking about to carry a 113 with equipment, ammo and crew? edit: also not it for being the poor bastards inside the 113, inside the shipping container, attached to the glider, attached to the A10.

Beastie posted:Prefacing this question by saying that I'm not a service member. As mentioned they're terrible for diseases. We had a burn pit right outside our FOB and for the first two or three months we had to go out there expecting to shoot at least one dog. They're nasty, wild feral animals that will actually attack your vehicle and try to bite the tires if you get anywhere near them, forget doing it on the ground. Some of them were rabid (not conjecture, they were foaming and acting all funny) so down they went. Of course, you still have your fair amount of assholes that actually enjoy doing it. We did it because we had to for the safety of everybody, not for fun.
