Weird War Tech

I saw this on TV. If we make any changes to our current weapon system, we should get all 416 uppers. The M4 works well(although the round needs more kick) and everyone's comfortable with it. There'd be no need to get reaquainted with a new weapon system, all of our attachments would still work, etc....

Col. Chen told our class that Batt boys had the highest first time through percentage, 64% if i recall correctly. I don't know what the officer percentage was, but if they want any kind of career in the infantry, they know they need their tab.

We had our picture taken under the tab on a rappeling wall(not the one at victory pond). I'm pretty sure it was visible in the class photo. Still waiting for the 5-06 photo to show up on the RS website.

Chuck Norris defines love as the desire to not kill a person. If you are still alive, it is because Chuck Norris loves you. Chuck Norris doesn't go hunting because the word hunt infers the probability of failure. Chuck Norris goes killing. Chuck Norris can win a game of connect four in only 3 moves....

I guess they went to 2 MREs a day during the ftx, 3 meals for recovery and the training week(at least for winter classes). Only one MRE a day was doing permanent damage. 2 MREs is still a big mental thing though, since it's usually 19 hours between breakfast and dinner without grazing.

Damn, some good ideas here when i get done! I was gonna send my buddy in ranger school a chocolate cock, figuring he would be so hungry he's still eat it. But he'd probably just throw it away and eat the IOBC officer's food. The spec-4's who've gone through in my platoon said don't bother asking for...

Probably best to go with issue, but if your rip holdover is long enough, you could get some nice jungle boots and break them in during those weeks. I had a long holdover, so i broke in some jungles and used them on the roadmarch. They were a couple pounds lighter and uninsulated like those boots the...
