i just finished watching Generation Kill for the like 50th time and my one question is this: How did some of these fucking retards get promoted to Captain, and who the fuck tries to mark a minefield at night, like wtf
I really need to rewatch Generation Kill. I've only seen it once and read the book.

Because the military has a "you're either great or horrible" mentality. That's actually most of the reason my grandfather retired in the 80's like he did. Someone who is in the military can speak on this far better than I, but essentially it comes down to the way the review and prestige system works. You either somehow manage to advance and get promoted (through reports that make you seem to walk on water) or just don't get the report and get shitcanned into your position.

my dad had a drill sergeant when he was stationed in Hawaii who literally could not tell time and would have to ask people to do so for him, subtly as he could. He also had trouble counting past 20.
Basically it seems your chances of getting promoted rely more on how much ass you can kiss than how well you can actually do your job.

The guy who ordered it didn't have to do it, and the guys who did it were just following orders. Shit sucks

IIRC it's because as Force Recon officers, retards like Captain America were supposed to be desk officers but because they were functionally light infantry, they became infantry officers in their duties and turned into massive retards.

A Captain is usually just a Lieutenant who let somebody else have the map :v:
I just didn't understand how the two competent officers got completely sidestepped and shit upon by all the incompetent retards.
My family is thinking about moving to Texas.

Also I got an apprehension today where the guy didn't run or fight me and he left in cuffs without making a scene out of the whole ordeal.
Me and Big Mike after the Trooper left with the guy in cuffs:

That feel when it takes you an entire semester to realize you made a huge mistake by taking a class and you're probably going to fail because the prof is a dick because he hasn't taught an undergrad course in like 5 years and he can barely speak English so you haven't been going to the class because you don't learn fuck all thanks to his retarded accent.
I mean, reading through the textbook the material itself isn't all that difficult, just really dry and technical, and thankfully as terrible as this prof is he did post lecture notes online, but holy fuck that prof made this class way more difficult than it needs to be.

Of course I should have known urbanization in developing countries probably wasn't going to be the most exciting class. It's a perfect example of the stupid bullshit I end up having to take to fill up my schedule when classes I actually need aren't available because I'm pretty sure my university wants to keep us here as long as it can to squeeze more money out of us rather than have us graduate in four years like normal people.

You have to wonder how anyone so incompetent even made it into Recon.

No, seriously, welcome to literally everything managed by good ol' Uncle Sam.
[QUOTE=Apache249;46538944]You have to wonder how anyone so incompetent even made it into Recon.[/QUOTE]
Because Recon tests your strength and endurance but may not be so likely as to test your mentality.
But ye, its about how much ass you can kiss. The two other officers in Gen. Kill kissed more ass and were slightly higher rank. The Enlisted and some of the NCO's knew what was really up but they'd be stripped of rank and sent to be a POG if they acted up (which is exactly what happens at the end).
Essentially, a core group of retards ruins it for everyone
So I thought of a new slogan for Burlington Coat Factory to better theme the store I work in.

[QUOTE=Zao Medong;46536536]lol no they're not. Those are 3M P100 multipurpose filters. Certified for use with asbestos, toxic dust, and organic contaminants (ie the main things encountered during urbex).
[editline]20th November 2014[/editline]
not to mention that even if they were acid/organic filters, that type of filter is also rated for asbestos and dust.[/QUOTE]
oh ok fair enough, it can be kind of hard to tell the difference between 3Ms pink and purple, their coloration is really close for the P100 and acid gas filters
and you are kinda right with the latter point there, an acid gas filter will technically work for some particulate, but its sure as hell not gonna work on friable asbestos or really fine stuff unless it [I]specifically[/I] has an integrated P100 filter in it
they do make combo filters that have both chemical and particulate filters but they tend to fairly expensive and have comparatively short lives.
Welp, about to fail my first test since grade 12 chemistry. I feel like such a retard for making a conscious decision not to come to this class.

Yeah, the color did get a little washed out when I edited the photo for clarity. 3M has a surprising number of filters that integrate P100's, but you're right in that they're more expensive than they're worth if you don't have a task that specifically requires them.
Test wasn't too bad, I probably passed.

frankly Im pretty impressed that you actually read up on what the filters do and made sure to buy the right ones
in my experience as a safety guy, most people just think that "filter" means that it filters everything and never has to be changed ever

or my personal favorite, calling painting coveralls a "hazmat suit"
Lol I looked into buying a hazmat suit briefly, but I was deterred by the sea of tyvek coveralls labeled as "hazmat suit".
My roommate and I have a policy of doing things absolutely the best we can when urban exploring. Our lives, personal health, and lack of criminal records are at stake, so we make sure to be as prepared as humanly possible going into sites. If we'd packed masks that were ineffective, that would be a waste of valuable pack space and weight too.

I wish I could do urbex near me. Seattle is too developed and Spokane's Kaiser aluminum (they were actually going to host a massive airsoft game there!) is too patrolled. That old shelter/silo seemed really night, wish I could find stuff like that. Speaking of which we have silos near us but they're a bit more [I]active[/I] than most
Today I found out that my city's SWAT team uses Sig 553s. That's probably what the gunshots I constantly hear coming from the direction of the police station are.
I just looked through like 5 threads with new posts. You know what they all had in common? 3bwii and loadsa boxes
I don't want to dislike the guy but it's just so consistently bad when he posts. I'm kind of at a loss. It really seems like he's trying to fit in but it's simply not working
He's trying too hard. Instead of backing off after making a stupid post, he goes even harder, compounding the problem.
-Snip, fuck it I'm just going to stop posting all together for awhile until I can get my shit together, I'm sorry to have plagued your form with my shitposting. adios-
I think a good thing to do, rather than just leave, is to minimize your posting. Don't post for the sake of posting, because that causes the quality of your post to suffer. If you take gun/gear pics post those, with a simple caption. If you have a question about airsoft, ask it. If you want to share bits of your personal life, try that too. But for the time being lay off on the lighter stuff. We joke around a lot here but so far your jokes haven't really been funny. I feel bad about giving you shit but I'm just trying to help
God I work in such a ghetto fucking place.
