[quote="1st Ranger"] p.s. Hey Smiddy, remember in Germany when Thompson's Javelin's second stage rocket never kicked in and it went crashing into the graound in front of us? Man, that was awesome! Yeah, it landed 15m in front of me. I remember wishing I had us make our sandbags higher. Of ...

Fuck Global Security!!! :evil: :evil: :evil:

They are constantly violating OPSEC. They listed our positions in Iraq, and a Secret/NONFORN 15-6 investigation on the internet. They are not an American Company. THEY ARE THE ENEMY!!!!

Smiddy, I can't take credit for anything. I can only say that any level I reached was due to the combined Bco/Cco A/T leadership (oh, and I didn't leave out Aco A/T on accident. Fuck them guys, they were always too cool for anyone else). I really miss the days that Bco and Cco WPNS shared the 3rd f...

Nice one. I lost the copies of all those pictures when my van was stolen. It's too bad those 2 leg bastards are encroaching in on our group photo. :evil: :D

Yep, that's a Javelin. I think we were all sceptical when we first got those in Bn, but they turned out to be one bad ass weapon system (as long as you didn't have to hump it). I've been to numerous live-fires (and got to fire one myself), but they were all against empty tank hulks. I was never luc...

God Bless you Casa, you'll always be an A/T God. The SMAW-D is replacing the AT4 as a standard fire and forget throw away. Why more units/armies don't use the "goose" with all it's capability and versatality, I'll never know.

Congratulations LN! Airborne! (>o|< So did the cadre tell you what speed the C - 141 slowed down to in order for you guys to jump? You didn't just jump out of a plane, you jumped out of a jet too! If I remember my jumpmaster training correctly, C-141's jump at 120 knots. 130 is drop speed. However,...

Re: Colt 1911A1

Is the 1911A1 really fully retired or is it still optional for use? It is still used by some units as an option and some as a their primary pistol. I currently carry one as a part of my kit, and some other teams do as well. .45ACP Ammo is no longer on the STRAC so it is usually local purchased or o...

Do the boys on that special team at SF still use .45's? They use to brag about the callous on the web of their hand from firing the thing so much. And they were very very good with the damn things. RLTW Bell I have a calloused right hand...but it ain't from shooting so much...at least a gun!! :shoc...
