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?
>>27846677
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?

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...

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?

Looks like a revolver.

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.

It is, anyone who says otherwise is a faggot.
It destroys an extra 21% of my paper targets with each shot.

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

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.

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

That's not an A2, and neither are the A2 and M4 on the same level.

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
