Hey /k/uckolds I'm joining the navy next year as a bosun's mate. What should I expect apart from a sore arse?

Australian navy actually.
So if missiles are the way to go and guns and large cruisers are on their way out in naval surface warfare, why concentrate the missiles on a relatively small number of ships?
Let's take a modern carrier strike group, which would be a Nimitz class carrier, a Ticonderoga cruiser, two or three Arleigh Burke destroyers, an attack sub or two, and a supply tender. Lots of force projection here but concentrated on two or three ships - the loss of the cruiser would cripple the group's ability to intercept additional incoming missiles, and the loss of either destroyer makes the carrier vulnerable to submarines.
Why not form the group around guided missile PT boats? Maintain the carrier as the centerpiece of the group, but replace the Ticonderoga with a supply tender and fifteen guided missile fast attack boats (to match displacement), and switch one of the destroyers for more guided missile boats. Put a ASW helicopter on each boat, so the group now looks like a carrier, destroyer, two attack subs, two or three tenders, and fifteen guided missile corvettes. Same displacement, more firepower, more maneuverability and flexibility, less vulnerability to a single critical hit on any given ship.

obviously the newer boats would have to be a little longer than the old ones
also as long as they had a tender they'd be fine in the open ocean
Good morning lads!
I'm visiting Texas and having never fired a gun before (British), I was wondering if you guys could give some advice on what to try?
Always act as if it is loaded, never point at someone, only put your finger on the trigger when you're ready to shoot.
>>30341871
He said:
>what to try
Try everything you can get your filthy fucking hands on, BritBong.
You're going to cream your shorts anyway...
>>30341882
Thanks pal, I'm probably not going to want to leave
>don't have a safe yet
>I guess the foam case is okay for now
>two weeks later
>rust everywhere
kill me
>>30341685
Don't dip your case in saltwater before you store your gun in it, idiot.
>>30341685
>Foam case
>Two weeks
Nigga.

I live 200 miles away from the nearest ocean,
thankfully the bore and chamber look okay
but there are specks on much of the exposed exterior, like the barrel, the barrel nut, the trigger guard, etc.
The folks on TFL are saying get a silicon sock

Is OP a dick licker or a full on cock sucker?
>>30341575
Maybe, but it's indisputable that threads like this are shit and you should consider suicide
AK is for men, AR is for mall ninjas
Just how effective were the famous British Commandos of WW2?
They might have killed one or two dudes, I dunno
>>30341545
They sucked balls. They were a snowflake unit who people only thing are cool because of their meme knives and berets. If you want to see a real special forces group look at the US Rangers, they slaughtered in Italy and went up a cliff face on D-Day.
All in all, a failed experiment that the USA adapted into the successful Ranger program.
>>30341545
Who am i to judge the efficiency of British Commandos?
Which one do you prefer? M44 or 91/30? Or maybe even the 1891 Dragoon. Let's discuss /k/.

Hello 4channians, it is I, a fellow private gun enthusiast.
Let us talk openly about the places we keep our undocumented weaponry.
Personally, I enjoy keeping them in hollowed out books and under the floorboards by my bed, how about you fellow meme makers?
>>30341379
I keep my AR in my oven and my Mossberg in the closet.
>>30341379
i keep all of my illegal weapons in your attic
I keep mine where it is at. Thats where.
I'm trying to virtually build an Ar15 but i can't find any other sites that theese

JUST FUCK MY TANKER UP
>Due to ongoing issues with the KC-46’s refueling systems, Boeing will not be able to deliver the 18 certified tankers to the Air Force as planned by August 2017, a major contractual obligation known as Required Assets Available, or RAA.
http://www.defensenews.com/story/breaking-news/2016/05/27/boeings-kc-46-tanker-miss-major-deadline/85039916/
Boeing, one of the largest manufacturer's in the world can't handle producing 18 modified airliners a year.
>>30341269
should have stuck with airbus
Unsurprisingly, procurement is driven more by politics and keeping aerospace companies afloat than it is actually delivering.
Such is life in the MIC
>>30341380
>the only product Boeing makes is the KC-46
Lol
Who needs guns more than minorities? Nobody!
Anyone who wants to keep people from owning the same guns as the government (police and military) is a bigot, a racist and is literally worse than Hitler!
the second amendment gives us TRUE EQUALITY.
HOW DARE YOU tell me whether I can or cant own a certain gun. You might as well be telling me I can only sit in the back of the bus!
Hillary Clinton is literally Hitler!!!
its 2016 people, we are better than gun control!

Stop holding your fucking gun sideways and we will talk.

yeah brother!!!! Why the fuck do Cletus and the Klan aka the POLICE only get assault weapons!???
WE NEED ASSAULT WEAPONS TOO!!!!!

As of now russia and the US are scrambling into their air control points. TU 95s are in the air. The US trigged defcon 3. Defensive measures are be taken from both sides. Is this end?

Nuclear briefcase: Angry Birds edition
Anyone else conceal carry on your college campus even though it's not allowed?
If a situation arises where anyone needs to know I'm carrying I'd rather be alive and expelled than shot dead by some angry autist/muslim/etc.
>>30341192
NICE TRY ATF....
>>30341192
yes, here's a suggestion.
don't bring weapons where its illegal to bring weapons.
If you do bring weapons where you shouldn't, you'll probably do something stupid and print in front of a bunch of nogunz/liberals, who will immediately call the authorities and you'll be an ex-student.
>>30341192
Yeah, if anyone is committing a federal felony just go ahead and post your confession here.
Does anyone have an opinion on the eagle strike force optic? I'm considering buying it for my rifle that shoots .308
good budget optic
depending on what your needs are 6x might not be enough but for most purposes it'll do just fine
>>30341106
I'm just looking for an optic to shoot around 200 to 300 I want it for my scar 17
>>30341119
it'll be good for shooting steel plates
Hey /k/, i saw something really fucking wierd a while back I've been trying to identify it, but having literally no luck.
so,
>be me, driving in Palmer lake, CO on job.
>driving up to train tracks, gate is down,
>on other side, really strange black vehicle pulls up
>kind of like a pickup truck, but strange angles on all of the normal body panels
>Bed is completely shrouded in strange angular Armour, looks like tank.
>top of armour on bed roughly even with top of cab
>small, encapsulated turret on top of bed armour, roughly hexagonal done with sharp angles
> , no gun visible but obvious flap in one side of turret for gun
>windows are dead black, completely reflective
>paint job is MATTE black, so black it reflects literally zero light, it's like looking at moving black hole.
>this is on a bright summers day, so it's not just some trick of the eyes
the thing that really throws me
>look at license plate to see if it's just some weirdo maker/car hacker driving around, CO has a lot of them
>license plate is bordered by two dark red lines on top an bottom, in between is a DENSE black and white bar-code, numbers on top and bottom just inside perimeter of red lines.
I really have ni fucking clue what this is. I ended up following it for a bit cause I was curious. while I was following it, I clearly spooked it and it sped the fuck up, 70+ MPH on 30 MPH road, passed an area where I KNOW there's a speed-trap, cop didn't even flinch to follow it.
can anyone here give me any serious idea of what this thing was?
pic lightly related, truck had similar build, slightly lower, obviously with stranger body panels and Armour in the bed.
