Which branch are you enlisting/enlisted/considering?

Ask questions, answer questions, bitch about Air Force recruiters. Just keep it contained to this general.

Navy is pretty cool
Leaving for OSUT in Janurary, have an airborne option on my contract. What else besides RASP is there to look into after jump school?
Alrighty /k/, I'm an Ausfag currently studying at uni but there is no way in hell I'm going to complete this degree.
I'm looking to do something combat/security related, don't really care what. I've got my application in for infantry but if there's something that prevents me enlisting I'd like to have other options open.
Anyone got any ideas what industry I should look into?
Pick somewhat related
>>27846525
Join the Army
>>27846525
there arn't many security jobs and they are usually word of mouth
a lot of guys in our industry are cowboys
when considering joining the army, remember you arn't actually joining "the army", rather you are joining a part of the army
recruiters will give you the impression that you only have a few options in order to fill areas that are lacking manpower
if you join infantry, you wont gain much in the way of skills, which long term is a really big deal because after you leave he army you will be fairly unemployable and might be stuck in low paid work
I would seriously look into police work before thinking about the millitary, you get to live a normal life, stay in a normal community
>>27847579
As loyal to the infantry as I am, this anon is correct. While you don't gain many skills in the infantry to use in the civilian world making a career out of the infantry is not an awful idea.
Can anyone identify this gun?
>>27846346
Looks like a revolver.

Hereś a bigger picture is that helps.
Hey /k/ today I got a strange phone call.
Backstory:
>be me
>enlisted
>35N
>SPC shamming my way through a tour at a small duty station
>Russian shit pops off and actually do work with intel value
>Get noticed
>perpetually fucked up room but actually super clean that shit THE DAY BEFORE A SUPRISE WHITE GLOVE
>apparently I have best room according to commander
Today
>get off of work
>go to room
>start jerking it
>get phone call
>think its probably the new squad leader I just got
>Hey SPC OP this is CPT Nignog, some time ago you expressed interest in going to West Point, are you still interested?
>Yes sir?
>vaguely recall something about that
>discuss ACT/SAT score (did bretty good on those), college transcripts of the year and a half that I did
>ask him to call back in a few days on my day off
Long story short, what's the deal with this /k/? Is it legit? A scam? I'm going to talk to my commander tomorrow.
Worth mentioning that I have never heard of this CPT, but I don't want to let an opportunity like this slip by
Hi, another shitbag E4 here.
My friend did this in the AF reserves, he's at the air force academy. It's pretty common if you're smart and get noticed. They're really big on it now for whatever reason.
At the same time, I'd ask your Readiness/Training NCO about the captain and if there's anything else you should know because he'd have more information.
If you want to do it OP, you should. It's a great opportunity if you're fine with being in the military at least 8 more years.
>>27846194
That's the thing, I thought that I would do one tour and get out, but now I'm not sure. I was perfectly happy to chill at a small strategic unit that doesn't even pt.
But imagine the shitbagging that I could do as an officer... It could be legendary....

There's already a knife general.
Nice knife though, really diggin' the handle.
>>27846164
Yeah I quite like that design too, looks like a neat little utility design and m390 is awesome, wouldn't choose lime green though.
I'm really liking the design of this little knife too, still tossing up whether to get one or not though.

Is this the Primary Arms Micro Dot edition?
Why does /k/ hate .45 ACP? I thought 1911s were good handguns
>>27845470
It is, anyone who says otherwise is a faggot.
It destroys an extra 21% of my paper targets with each shot.
>>27845470
You won't find a better trigger on a gun than in a 1911

fuck off whore
My friend open carried a Single Action Army in .22 to dinner at this ramen joint. He just got made fun of by my other friend.
Would you shoot an unarmed man in your own home if you had every right to do so? Let's say you walk in and they're doing hand stands on your couch.
>if you had every right to do so
That means I'm in fear for my life. So yes, duh.
>>27844777
>put your hands on your head
>slowly
>get on your knees
>get face down on the ground
>do not move
>gun pointed at target until police arrive
If any deviation happens then I'd shoot, though there is literally no way to determine if someone is unarmed unless they are naked.
>>27844819
>Naked man doing handstands on your couch
Yeah, I'd probably still shoot him.

Hitting off with OC.
I'll post some OC

jesus christ how horrifying
>winging it
>SL spoke to the CO and 1SG about doing a "come to Jesus" meeting between him, the NCOs and myself (the PL)
>Say that I suck as a leader and I "dont listen to my NCOs" (which I fucking do that they are making mountains out of molehills)
>Saying that they doubt that I will be able to perform my job competently
>Basically saying that I suck as a warrior (IMHO they are saying I suck... in Darwinian terms since male who isnt a warrior = beta/berrypicker as fuck)
>They say they are still more than willing to work with me
>My NCOs say they brought in the CO because they dont think I was going to listen to them
What do? WTF I am beginning to think the Army is not for me. I thought I just suck like how a regular PL/LT should suck. But they are making it sound like I suck much more.
As I said above they are saying I suck at an evolutionary perspective
>>27844402
You're not being douchey enough. If they have enough confidence to call you out and say this shit to your face, you haven't been yelling loudly enough.
Why were they saying this?
Details, my boy.
It seems you suck more than usual, go get your ass chewed and try to fuck up less at your next post. You're permabitch with this unit.
I want to buy a fighting knife.
I want to get a Fairbairn-Sykes fighting knife but they look like they don't have much utility outside of stabbing people and opening letters. What style would /k/ recommend? What grade of steel is ideal? Who are good manufacturers?
>>27844109
Dude there already like 3 knife threads, please check the catalog next time.
That aside, the FS is overrated as fuck. Ontario still makes the M3 and Boker makes devent repros of several trench knives and daggers. Sheffield makes a repro FS, but it sucks. The M7 bayonet is also a solid choice.
>>27844167
>The M7 bayonet is also a solid choice.
will do, thanks
>>27844109
Any sharp edge is as good as another, for sharp edge utility stuff.
As far as fighting goes, the FS is for sneaking up on a motherfucker and finishing the fight before he knows it's even started.
If you're not going to be operating operationally all day every day, any utility knife with a sharp point and a crossguard is good enough. The sharp point for stabbing, and the cross guard to keep your hand off the blade.
Would you rather take the M14 or the M16A2 / Colt M4 into battle...this seperates people who understand guns from those that dont. Go.
>>27843886
i take my ar
>>27843886
That's not an A2, and neither are the A2 and M4 on the same level.
>M4

Archaeologists will someday find this and struggle to decipher the meaning of the hundreds of coatings on it, finally deciding it was the sacrificial totem of a fickle and changeable warrior tribe

>You people of the South don't know what you are doing. This country will be drenched in blood, and God only knows how it will end. It is all folly, madness, a crime against civilization! You people speak so lightly of war; you don't know what you're talking about. War is a terrible thing! You mistake, too, the people of the North. They are a peaceable people but an earnest people, and they will fight, too. They are not going to let this country be destroyed without a mighty effort to save it … Besides, where are your men and appliances of war to contend against them? The North can make a steam engine, locomotive, or railway car; hardly a yard of cloth or pair of shoes can you make. You are rushing into war with one of the most powerful, ingeniously mechanical, and determined people on Earth — right at your doors. You are bound to fail. Only in your spirit and determination are you prepared for war. In all else you are totally unprepared, with a bad cause to start with. At first you will make headway, but as your limited resources begin to fail, shut out from the markets of Europe as you will be, your cause will begin to wane. If your people will but stop and think, they must see in the end that you will surely fail.
