That's custom camouflage. My kit looks like its from WWII with tiger stripes of ash and dried sweat. I never wanted to wash it because it was far more effective then the clean ACU pattern.

To stay on topic there are a few more images from GQ floating around, and between all of them I've spotted a few current instructors in the course. I know they've gotten a lot of poo poo for it, but the pictures didn't turn out bad and they're in a half-way decent magazine. iceslice fucked around with this message at 13:23 on Jan 29, 2013 |

My favorite parts are the bloused boots, as if that's tactical, and the XXXXS body armor that doesn't even have plates or anything in or on them. "I'll just wear it because it looks cool." I wonder if he is wearing the sunglasses indoors because he is afraid of ruining his eyes from all the flashlights. Oh and no gloves. Amateur.

BaconAndBullets posted:Apparently that was an ANA/ANP attached to a SOF team and he got his AK shot by the guy who's house they were raiding. He reacted by running away (not like you can do much else when your only weapon system is disabled) and was shot in the back and killed. He also has what looks like an old M68 optic. There are a lot of really badass parts of that video. He stacks right up on top of that ANA guy and drives him into the room. His aggression level straight to 10 when he starts chasing his threat and then back to a 1 when he identifies no threats in the room. I don't know about you, but being able to recognize someone isn't being defiant but instead just doesn't understand English, and then switching to pointy-talky immediately after being shot at, all while giving a sitrep is pretty badass. iceslice fucked around with this message at 04:23 on Aug 5, 2013 |

Slim Pickens posted:Pretty accurate from my experience. SF are still chill dudes, but they might lean towards the seal fuckups with all the 18X kids coming in. Saw one of their new kids lifting up his shirt and flexing his abs in the mirror between sets at the gym, then later heard about him leaving a KYK-13 laying on a rucksack outside for several hours before someone spotted it. Going to jump in here share my opinion: There are no more 18X today then there were 10 years ago. The pass rate, and amount of guys on teams is nearly the same, and the 18X who joined 10 years ago are getting looked at and picking up E-8 and team sergeant slots by now. From my experience maturity, accountability, dependability, and intelligence are independent of how you landed the job you have. The skill sets brought in by an E6 in the infantry are different then the ones brought in by an 18X, but everyone has a steep learning curve when they start out on a team and are going to be equally messed up. The difference is that guys who came in as 18X have a title, just like National Guard, that people can throw them under when they make mistakes. The same thing happens to units in the media. If you're a SF Group support guy and you get in trouble in town, its not "a Soldier" its a "Special Forces Soldier," even if they don't have a tab. There are no doubt plenty of idiots that make the 18X program look bad, but I would say almost all of them are booted from the program and don't make it. They're the ones running around the regular Army telling everyone they are a badass 18X. edit: SEALs are 200lbs of pure badass, gunfighting, diving, flying children. If you don't keep them occupied they'll burn your house down before you realize they got bored. The Rangers that I've worked with are the same, except they actually are 19 years old so its cool to be immature and crazy. The discipline of the unit is structured for it. iceslice fucked around with this message at 19:37 on Aug 27, 2013 |

Kung Fu Fist gently caress posted:Yo is his muzzle painted blue? That'd be siiiick. 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.

Booblord Zagats posted:Is Recon really SF? I mean, I know a few, and all I ever saw them as when we would fly them anywhere was "Infantry with better gear". The SEAL guys we got to work with for a few days were loving badass and everything about them screamed "Killing Machine", but the recon guys just screamed "Moto-Shirt" to me Lets get pedantic for a second: SF in the military world means Special Forces, specifically referring to United States Army Special Forces aka Green Berets. They're part of one of the Special Forces Groups, and wear a long tab. SOF, or Special Operations Forces, is the term used to refer to all of SOCOM's subordinate units and their members. For example, Marine Recon is a "SOC" (straight off wiki), meaning they're a Special Operations Capable unit. All the talk about CAG, SEALS, SF, etc is about "SOF." When you hear someone talking about in the non-military realm (like the news) you're going to hear Special Forces, which unless they qualify with "US Army" first, is referring to one of the many SOF units. iceslice fucked around with this message at 02:28 on Oct 24, 2014 |

There are 3 things going on in this picture: First, the antenna re-locator kit relocates the antenna to the position immediately above the MBITR. Neat. Second, there's like $50 in adapters routing the line back up, before it comes back down to the radio itself. I know this because I've found my self with an awkward adapter, and can never find the simple 1-step to get to what I'm trying to connect to. Eventually it turns into that mess right there. Finally (and most pedantically), no one uses the freqs for that antenna. Unless they're cops, and then maybe. God those guys are such nerds.

When that vid was posted I remember hearing it was a 5th GRP guy doing his JM training runs, and he turned out fine. My favorite is the posture of the guy standing next to him, as if he said "did that really just happen?"
