Warrant officers best officers (all the ones I knew were cool as gently caress and hyper-competent). Regular officers though were extremely hit or miss. The few good ones were incredible, but the bad ones were just awful.

I thought I'd catch a little shut-eye during land nav in SOI and inadvertently rested against a tree that had a nest of those fuckers under the roots and got stung from my rear end to my neck probably two dozen times. I'm generally all about conservation and eco stuff, but when it comes to fire ants and related bugs, I'm from Buenos Aries

Just people in general, really. We followed the megafauna here to slaughter and eat them all. As a species we're the most invasive motherfuckers there are, white or otherwise.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peopling_of_the_Americas posted:The traditional theory is that Ancient Beringians moved when sea levels were significantly lowered due to the Quaternary glaciation, following herds of now-extinct Pleistocene megafauna along ice-free corridors that stretched between the Laurentide and Cordilleran ice sheets.

 I've mentioned it in other threads, but HD2 wholly captures the dumb-rear end bellicose jingoism of the early bush years. I don't think there's another game that so perfectly nails the "fresh overconfident boot full of propaganda going to war with the army you have" vibe of OIF I. It's great

Delta force 1 was one of my first ever LAN games. Obviously the modeling doesn't hold up or anything but the huge zones and the voxel tech is pretty remarkable for having come out in loving 1998

My old unit had a couple OIF anniversary get-togethers in 2013 and 2023 that I missed because I was out of state. In retrospect I'm glad. There are some very close friends from that time that I still talk to, but the lovely fact is I've changed so much since 2003, and things have become so politically polarized, that I don't know what I'd have in common with most of the old platoon anymore (aside from the fact that we're bearded and all rocking dad bods these days)

Yeah I mean the deployment itself is terrible of course for every reason but sleeping in warehouses/cafeteria floors/any surface is just what happens when you're deployed

Lmao at the dogs My only good chamber story is that the drill instructors let our platoon have our first MREs before we went in. After months of small amounts of chow hall food MREs were the size of a thanksgiving meal. And then we vomited most of them up

One nice touch in the Generation Kill script was Fick relying on Gunny Wynn as a sounding board. I got lucky enough to only know a few officers when I was in, but the really good ones always listened.

He looks and acts like an avatar of every chickenshit staff NCO and officer I ever knew who confused yelling and browbeating with good leadership because their own personal failures prevented them from setting a positive example and I'm so fuckin glad I'm not in anymore

Wash your body every day, especially your pits, crotch, and feet and use a separate rag for your rear end crack I feel like this is universal advice
