I will do a small derail detailing the history of beards, Harpoon missiles and ![]() "Beard growing contest by crewman of USCG 82-footer Division 11, An Thoi. (No names or information received with these.)" Good God look at those motherfucking beards, I loving hope the guy on the Top right won. Sadly came 1986 came this... Guy... ![]() Admiral Yost banned beards in the coast guard in 1986. The connection? He served in a Patrol Boat in Vietnam, therefore he tried to win a beard growing contest but only prodeced only a shameful amount of hair. The enlisted men made fun of him and later that night he cried his little nerdy eyes out and said to himself "If i ever become the commandant I will ban beards FOREVER!" ![]() "And put missiles on cutters too I guess" Unrelated ![]()

iyaayas01 posted:That picture makes me Yep. Also, last year I found some old rear end (Unclass) maintenance documents that pretty much went "Congratulations on having a CIWS and a Missile installed on your boat!". Mind you I am on a much smaller cutter, so I don't want to imagine the kind of damage it would have done to the ship. Or where the hell they would put it.

iceslice posted:Seriously all I see in that picture is that dirt rear end stache. I'm as far from "SGM UNIFORM HOOAH" as you get, and I think they should be seriously outlawed. The only exception is when you have so much rank and badassness (pilot, or crusty old warrant/SGM) that you can rock a totally out of regs stache of pure respect. Anything short of giving the Army regs the bird and you just look like a pedophile. Until 1986 the Coast Guard looked like this: ![]() Then they banned the beard and added rules and regulations to the moustache and in the best of cases (for White guys) it would look like a pedophile stache. Hell even when I grow it and keep it in "regs" it still looks like poo poo.

Handsome Ralph posted:Thanks a lot, rear end in a top hat. He served as a CO on a patrol boat during Vietnam. That picture is (probably) enlisted people growing beards. So its my pet theory that the little white Mormon officer got schooled by the enlisted people on the PB, so he cried his little royalty tears and swore revenge.

Booblord Zagats posted:Coast Guard guys and Air Force Admin people are the biggest "gun nuts" in the military. Everyone else either sees them as a work tool or 'those stupid loving things I have to clean all the goddamed time' This is so loving true. But it's mostly because we don't handle weapons that often and they never get to be on the large cutters and never experience the bigger guns.

Slim Pickens posted:Don't know much about WW1 other than what I learned in college history and that it would've been miserable to fight in. When dudes would bullshit about which war they would want to fight in, WW2 was always first and WW1 was usually last. ![]() This is Fort Douaurmont at the start of the Battle of Verdun. On the first day of the day of the battle the Germans with the help of 808 guns would lunch approximately 1,000,000 shells in a period of 10 hours. Thats 100,000 shells per hour, 1,667 shells per minute, 28 shells per second. ![]() Same fort as above after the battle. ![]() This is modern day Verdun. No I would never want to fight in WWI.
