[stiff dune]

I have a AC1 in medium and was wondering if 10x12 Shooters Cut multi curve plates would fit

[snow scarab]

i don’t have one but yes they should fit

AC1s are for goobers tho

[stiff dune]

Im certifed goober

whatre you rocking

[snow scarab]

crye SPC but i’m switching to an LBT 6094 with full soft armor

i also run side plates

[stiff dune]

Do you have a photo?

Im looking for something more overt

But need inspo

[snow scarab]

i do for the SPC

6094 won’t be built out until december

[stiff dune]

Half my crew rocks a FCPC but I dont wanan just fall in line w the same gear

[snow scarab]

it isn’t the best, and i’m definitely gonna change things when i get back

but that’s how i had it set up

6094 is gonna be similar but not entirely

[stiff dune]

Looks good bro

How do you like it? Hows the weight distro

[snow scarab]

personally i like how it distributes the weight with the stiff cummerbund

i would recommend some thicker shoulder pads

because the ones it comes with are pretty much just wraps

[formal skiff]

You talk about the instinct 2 ?

I think I will buy it

[frozen viper]

Yeah I talked about it. Like I said, got no issue with it. Definitely worth the buy

Garmin’s tech support and services are great too. I had a forerunner that ended up no longer charging and they replaced it

[hexed talon]

Your not going to war you fuckin hippie. That’s called a shooters belt and you don’t have enough pouches to call it webbing which would be a ‘war belt’

Again recce is a task not a fucking setup you gooner. If your RECCE you probably want a little more than just a chest rig with minimal sustainment besides that sad canteen

[low zodiac]

💀

Heat on high today

[hexed talon]

I’m on smoke for these hippies 🚬

Fight light mfs verses enemy in depth positions

Also the British surplus grenade pouch on the right

With the sharpie’d out text is kek

Their life goes like “Yeah man I lost my kit on a video game discord… and call it a war belt”

“No I’ve never been to war”
“No bro I have a light rifle I can’t run fast with body armour either”

Wannabe goon instagrammed making guns look homiesexual

Prepared?

Oh boy you cooked yourself with that one

Please run me down your recce setup

What’s the layout and kit inside I am curious genuinely

What’s the new setup

That’s the new recce setup?

And what’s on the PC

It was

Im more curious what is the PURPOSE

your trying to achieve

What’s the mission

Mission dictates gear

So what are you preparing FOR

that’s a bit vague

Narrow it down

Home invasion ?

Government collapse etc is just insurgency

So those two I would say the main ones

Right so what’s in the plate carrier and webbing

Here’s where I can help

Based patches but what’s interesting is what’s in the pouches

What have ya got

Because here I can provide a fair bit of help

What you looking at

In general

Not overly specific

your missing a shit load

A SHIT load

Your thinking about what you need to survive not what you need to deal with the situation in the first place

Here’s what I suggest it’s not expansive

Ordinance survey maps of your local area

Sharpies non perm and permanent

Commanders / admin pouch

Where you have a map pouch type thing going on

because you need to be able to plan not just react

perfect

Get those OSM maps

Get a pacer too

Nail varnish remover / alcohol to wipe down the map too

You need notepad and pen obviously

you said 3 days of sustainment I would say One

You mostly need it in a Bergen

And carrying 3 days is fucked beyond belief

Two days is heavy enough

Dehydrated 3 days sure

Hydrated 2 days max

Canteen is good

What about layers

Clothing

Well you don’t need one really

more about what type

So two jackets

Thick and thin yeah

there’s your biggest issue

if the temperature is cold but not too cold

Enough for the warm jacket

And I start sweating and then

I start moving on foot

I either overheat and lose water or get a heat injury

Or take the jacket off and freeze

you need layers

Not one single layer

Think about

[warped coyote]

does anybody got like a goptac tracksuit in emr or some other ruski camo

[snow scarab]

how? with my kit i can carry 10 plus 1 in the gun

there is 6 up front

crye flap plus BFG

then 3 in the SPUD if i really want

[snow scarab]

look at the bottom of my rear plate bag

that belt set up isn’t final. i bought a completely new belt setup off a buddy. its a shooters belt not a thick ass war belt

it’s old and outdated

two piece belts are better

because of two piece belts have hook velcro on the outer portion it’s really easy to throw over clothing

[snow scarab]

you never answered about those pants. are those the customs one done by claw?

[tiny meadow]

Shit I prob just ain’t see but nah they’re legit crye-fires

[snow scarab]

god damn, how much you pay for them?

idk how much claw charges

but they look pretty good

[tiny meadow]

I actually traded the frog skin uniform to some recon dude who had extras

[snow scarab]

bro wtf

[lime abyss]

Damn ask him if he has more

Lmao

[tiny meadow]

Nah I got the last two pairs of trousers and the last top

[lime abyss]

Damnit

[hexed talon]

You can replace the USMC patch with homosexual. Means the same

Especially with that sad attempt at helmet scrim

May as well put a condom on your helmet. Because both make whoever spots you know he’s looking at a bellend

[hexed talon]

Decent but maybe overkill let’s see it

I would agree more rifle mags and pistol mags you only really need two

If your using three your cooked

[snow scarab]

how is it overkill?

[hexed talon]

Depending what it’s for

home invasion?
Insurgency/total war?

[tiny meadow]

lol

[snow scarab]

if you’re putting kit on for a home invasion, you’re wrong

[hexed talon]

It’s nothing personal we just know yanks can’t set up kit

[snow scarab]

this is the belt i bought off a friend. i’m going to leave it like this minus adding a BFG micro

lol, that’s wrong

[hexed talon]

plate carriers really don’t take long to put on

[snow scarab]

in an area as small as a house, micro seconds matter

[tiny meadow]

Post kit Mayhaps

[hexed talon]

Honestly yeah that belts fine but move the right side mag pouch it’s kinda useless there and the utility pouch move to the right for a combination tool

[hexed talon]

If only I wasn’t abroad darling

But I sunk a shit load more time into my helmet

😂

I’ll try find a pic

[tiny meadow]

I scrounge through the jungle so having scrim is enough a snag hazard when you’re 5’11 in a small canopy

Also I usually just leave it blank for looping desert or woodland strips for Manchu hair

[hexed talon]

AHAHAH 5/11

5’7 gang rise up

I agree it’s a snag hazard if you do it wrong

I have scrim underneath two helmet nets

One large net one small net

Allows it to stick out with no snag risk

[tiny meadow]

Neat, yea it causes mad heat exhaustion too

[hexed talon]

Helmet net is TIGHT to the helmet so it is fucking hard to snag

[tiny meadow]

Moisture in Japan is just ass

[hexed talon]

And then sniper taped around rim

Yeah I’m running 3D scrim no hessian or burlap

Japan deployment peak for you

[tiny meadow]

Not even deployed I’m stationed here 😂

[hexed talon]

Oh fucking he’ll unlucky bastard 😂

[tiny meadow]

Nah I like it

[hexed talon]

I’m in fucking Poland as a civvy

[tiny meadow]

Ooo that must be fun

(Not)

[hexed talon]

Here’s why your wrong

[tiny meadow]

Idk what Poland is like

[hexed talon]

A pint of beer is 50 cent

[tiny meadow]

Holy shit

[hexed talon]

It costs less than water

[tiny meadow]

🤯

[hexed talon]

Czech Republic had to change the law so it wasn’t cheaper as well

And Poland hasn’t

[tiny meadow]

Hahaha

Nice

[hexed talon]

1 shot of vodka is $1

Club entry’s are free

Strip clubs free other than dance and give you free drinks

[tiny meadow]

Only thing lucky abt here is the hospitality and the women like tall brown men

So it’s easy

[snow scarab]

what are you even talking about

[hexed talon]

80% military discount too

[hexed talon]

OHH

polands the opposite

Not the hospitality

But the other part

[tiny meadow]

😂😂

[hexed talon]

98% Christian

Majority anti immigration so harshly they have EU sanctions because of it

😂

[snow scarab]

there is no mag pouch on the right half of the belt

that’s a handcuff pouch because i bought it off a cop

[old portal]

This for sure

[hexed talon]

Keks

[hexed talon]

Just have a plate carrier next to your bed takes 4 seconds and saves your ass

[snow scarab]

you are just wrong dude

[hexed talon]

• also depends how big your house is I guess

Well not wrong if I front face every corner I’m taking in CQC I’m hoping that plate will stop at least small arms fire.

Better safe than dead for the cost of 4 seconds

[old portal]

My first unit as a private was 2/9 infantry MANCHU. This was the days of the PASGT helmet and our issued helmet covers were Manchu hair. Shit got so heavy in the monsoon rains lol

[snow scarab]

your house is YOUR territory. the furthest you should go forward is where your family resides

[hexed talon]

Yeah I live alone

😂

Does a wife and kids come with my next kit purchase ?

[snow scarab]

cool, then sit behind a corner and wait while dialing for emergency

[old portal]

I’ve been in more gunfights than I can remember and count. Getting a weapon system operational is priority over anything, not digging for a kit in the dark

[snow scarab]

also i looked at your posts in this channel, please don’t ever talk about gear 😂

[hexed talon]

yeah emergency services here in my country are shit dood

[hexed talon]

agreed - but if it’s home invasion my weapon will be next to me loaded but not made ready. Again 2 seconds to do that drill

However I live in a country with mildly cucked gun laws

And study in another with based gun laws but not a citizen

so I have a stabby stab and a plate carrier that’s it

[snow scarab]

well, either way, i’m going to take my kit setup advice from what i know works based on drills and training and what others that have actually been in gunfights say

[hexed talon]

But whilst firefights are good for experience and kit setup they don’t exactly equal FISH experience in a civvy world

[hexed talon]

Gunfights - you mean civvy right

[tiny meadow]

I presumed it would be

[hexed talon]

You guys saying first unit is wild to me

[tiny meadow]

Just more excess when you’re trying to be light or at least manageable

[hexed talon]

In the UK you get a unit and practically never leave it

[snow scarab]

no?

[hexed talon]

😂

[snow scarab]

i’m military

[hexed talon]

So am I mate

[old portal]

It’s funny that you used that term. I’ve never heard it outside of army 9th INF setting

[hexed talon]

I think all of us are

Who are speaking currently at least

[tiny meadow]

Lot of the recon and jungle instructors love seeing it

[snow scarab]

cool, you say that however you basically said a very well put together (and well used) kit that works for me just decent

[old portal]

That’s interesting. Literally had no idea anyone wise even heard of Manchu lol

[hexed talon]

Eh? That makes no sense

[snow scarab]

you also said if i’m using 3 mags im cooked

[tiny meadow]

It’s rare but tradition will always find its way in niche relevancy

[hexed talon]

For a pistol ?

If you have a rifle

Yes

😂

[old portal]

I’m curious. What country, what job and your experience

[hexed talon]

If my rifle malfunctions and I draw a pistol and go through 3 mags I would call that a really shit place to be in

[hexed talon]

British Army (R) - 2 years in finished basic after about 6 months in and yes it’s probably shorter than American basic

Job - not infantry to put simply

[tiny meadow]

POG!!!!

[snow scarab]

you were in the military for 2 years?

[hexed talon]

faaaaak oFFF

Yes mate

[snow scarab]

brother i’ve been in for double that time

and i’ve probably got more range time

[hexed talon]

good for you? 😂

[tiny meadow]

Not I’m fucking with you that’s me too

[snow scarab]

especially in kit

[hexed talon]

Time doesn’t make you not a biff

😂

[snow scarab]

once again, i don’t need your input on my kit lol

[old portal]

Hahaha I’ve got more time in combat than that

[hexed talon]

EEEYYY

[snow scarab]

i bet lol

[hexed talon]

Cheers, dits

It’s all useless because we have the best drills

RAHHH WHAT THE FUCK IS A SUNSET 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

[old portal]

Can’t even do 2 years here unless you get booted out

[hexed talon]

Us marines are somewhat switched on… the lights are home but no ones home

[hexed talon]

yeah we can leave whenever

I decided to take a break to continue university

[snow scarab]

idk about that lol

[hexed talon]

Go ask which country the US SOF model was based on 😉

[snow scarab]

considering US SOF is so much more diverse in its portfolio than any other country, i would say we made it ourselves lol

[hexed talon]

(Ya didn’t)

There’s your spoiler

[snow scarab]

US SOF covers literally every type of operation under the sun

[hexed talon]

Correct

But its initial formation

[snow scarab]

no other country does that lol

[old portal]

Ya CAG was built off the SAS model then they built their COIN model off our COIN model in the ME

[hexed talon]

Was based on the UK asf

[hexed talon]

Correct

And now we use the US COIN model

But your total warfare model is mostly based on ours

/ conventional

With some Americanisms

Mostly for interoperability

[old portal]

Because SAS/SBS was running around like tools in 04 getting shot all to shit on target until CAG said here son hold my pocket and do what I do

[tiny meadow]

Return to LRRP and unconventional tactics

Strong feet and strong backs

[hexed talon]

Loses every recent conflict

[hexed talon]

This

Return to hybrid warfare, assault teams and asymmetric ttps

[snow scarab]

and what recent conflict has the U.S. lost that the UK wasn’t also apart of? lol

[hexed talon]

Big army will may give us pamphlets but I can’t read 🗣️

[hexed talon]

Vietnam

😂

We won Falkland’s

[snow scarab]

i said lost

[hexed talon]

You tend to need our babysitting

So we can do hearts and mind whilst some pissed off marine goes I hate this country and glasses some civvys

[snow scarab]

with the pull out of american forces from vietnam, the south and north had a peace treaty that lasted for almost a decade

[old portal]

Damn I just realized one of my combat trips was almost as long as his entire enlistment 😂 but yes please tell me how to fight a fight

[snow scarab]

that was the only real goal of vietnam

and we accomplished that

[tiny meadow]

All the gear but no idea

[snow scarab]

but then the commies invaded, breaching the treaty

[hexed talon]

American deployments are holidays

I’ve seen your fucking based

Bases

We have to eat British food

You’ve never experienced struggle till you’ve had to eat British food for months on end

[snow scarab]

it’s called we care about our quality of living in most places

[hexed talon]

Yeah we fuckin don’T

[tiny meadow]

Send this man to 52 area chow hall

[snow scarab]

also you are literally talking to a guy who deployed during the beginning of GWOT

[old portal]

For some yes…for lots not really

[snow scarab]

^ this is the guy

also, brit’s use american bases for most things now

canadians and brit’s are all over american air force bases in kuwait

[hexed talon]

He’ll yeah free holiday dude

[snow scarab]

and they all act like fucking dicks

[hexed talon]

If I didn’t have uni I would go there and start taking the piss out of you yanks as well

Only kidding

In all seriousness USMC pogs are chill

[snow scarab]

well considering the quality of kits i saw from the infantry, we kinda just laugh at you lol

[hexed talon]

Honestly it’s not terrible

[old portal]

When we weren’t living on random rooftops we n sector sleeping between gunfights my platoon lived in this wonderful room with the bats that would come out of the drop ceiling and fly around all night…such a holiday

[hexed talon]

Honestly the bats sound pretty fucking cool

[snow scarab]

guys had mag pouches in their throat

[hexed talon]

Got any bat photos

From your tour to the bat cave Batman

[snow scarab]

or mag pouches on their dominant side on belts

[old portal]

And here’s my nice palm date mattress with a short nap after a 4 hour gunfight just wrapped up

[snow scarab]

shit was stupid

[hexed talon]

Uhh that’s grenade de pouches

If we talking webbing

[snow scarab]

they were two piece shooter belts

i didn’t see a single guy using webbing lol

[hexed talon]

Oh he did that himself

Belt setup is up to the user

Webbing is the only thing we get trained on for setups

And honestly webbing kind of fucks

… your shoulders and back

[snow scarab]

ikr?

[hexed talon]

Genuinely curious, doctrine wise what’s your on contact drills

[snow scarab]

i just had a stroke reading that

[hexed talon]

Like let’s say patrolling along a road and you get contact left 150 metres

[hexed talon]

Yeah ‘on contact drills’ is a term we use

[snow scarab]

we just call it taking contact drills

or contact drills

[hexed talon]

Sounds very navy ‘taking contact’

[snow scarab]

but that would depend entirely on our formation and what area

[hexed talon]

Very sensual

One section

[old portal]

I encountered Brits one time on a deployment when in Baghdad. Our platoon was the BN QRF element so we were living out of an empty tent on a FOB but we were gone almost always so we just kept everything packed up and the tent was empty if we weren’t in there sleeping. We came back in one morning from a fight and find like 8 naked dudes sleeping in the bunks. It was an SAS team that had rolled in during the night after an op and found an empty tent to sleep in. Cool guys

[snow scarab]

there isn’t enough info there

is a section basically a squad?

how many people

[hexed talon]

Was that around 05 ish?

[hexed talon]

We patrol as 9

One section two fire teams Charlie and Delta

[snow scarab]

ok so a squad

what environment? just like a forested road?

[hexed talon]

Let’s go Central Europe

[old portal]

Basic answer is immediately gain fire superiority, establish a maneuver element and SBF element and take it to their ass with fire and maneuver

[hexed talon]

Dirt path

Field left and right with treeline

[old portal]

Spring 07ish

[hexed talon]

SBF is base of supporting fire right

[old portal]

Support By Fire yes

[hexed talon]

Ahh shit otherwise you might have met a few blokes like my stepdad 😂

Funny camo we had back then too

will admit - kit was shit then

[snow scarab]

if it’s an open field then it would be drop to prone and immediately return fire. get on line, throw a few grenades then have SAWs play their tune while a fireteam bounds up

[old portal]

10 minute conversation with long hair naked Brit’s

[hexed talon]

Dann you guys have saws still?

[hexed talon]

Brotherhood

[snow scarab]

yeah?

[hexed talon]

damn we got rid of them fast as fuck

Idk why tbf

[snow scarab]

SAWs are great

you guys just use the FN MAG for everything

[hexed talon]

yup

[snow scarab]

it’s literally just called the GPMG

i love the 240, but fuck taking it on a foot patrol

[hexed talon]

GENERAŁ PURPOSE MACHINE GUN

generał purpose isn’t so general

Imagine taking a GPMG and a British radio on a patrol

Our radios are not light

At all

Enjoy the back pain for the next 2 months or forever

[snow scarab]

we use 152s and i forget what the other one is. @storm peak

[hexed talon]

We have a bowman

[snow scarab]

what’s the new one?

[hexed talon]

Brick of shite

+1 extra battery

It weights in freedom units 15lbs

I think our total combat load is pushing about 77lbs without body armour or radio

[old portal]

My kit as an SL before assault pack of mission essentials was 81lbs. Pack typically was an additional 20ish but could be much more at times. My SAW gunners kits were 109. The poor bastards

[hexed talon]

So pretty similar to our kind of weights

Curious of saw weight vs gong

Gpmg*

13.85kg with 59 rounds

30lbs ouch

And 5.5lbs per 100 rounds of link

yeah fuck the GPMG it’s too heavy

[old portal]

I don’t know what our 240 kits weighed as it wasn’t my responsibility. I don’t remember how much the gun itself weighed either but it was before the now lighter models. I just remember a 100 rd belt of 7.62 weighed 7lbs because it was one of the things I always carried in my pack

[hexed talon]

Poor bloke

Amnesty bush for the 7.62 link 😂

[old portal]

One of our gunners sucking

[hexed talon]

Ugly camo but kinda looks like it works

At least in the pic

Anyway I gotta go lads I got university 😦

Wish I stayed in as a reg

Get to be in clip in a hole in the mud and rain swimming pool with no rent

got two fucking language classes one after the other

Polish language and Russian language

Chao 🫡🇬🇧

[snow scarab]

240 is like, 26 lbs unloaded i think?

[old portal]

Sounds right. Been a long time since I’ve seen it. I think there is lighter version now but it’s after my time

[snow scarab]

there is the 240L which uses a titanium receiver

it’s not as durable

but it weighs like 4-5 lbs less

[old portal]

The B was a beast. One of our gunners fell off 2 story building in Baghdad with the gun. Broke both his legs but the gun just kept on running. MGO and PEQ2 held zero

[lime abyss]

Should I enlist in the marines?

[old portal]

Yes

[lime abyss]

What about army?

I'm thinking on doing rangers

It's either rangers or do marine recon

Those are my 2 choices

[old portal]

Whatever you think you’ll enjoy more. Both will be hard suckfest and if your heart isn’t in it then it will be that much shittier

[ashen edge]

you should get better contract from the army with the recruiting failures the last couple years, also you get to choose MOS and there are more jobs so it will likely suit what you want to do if you want a medical or technical MOS

[lime abyss]

I feel like rangers are my calling In general, I just need to put my mind to it and commit.

[storm peak]

In terms of portable radios?

152s are being replaced by 163s, singars is being replaced by 167s

[storm peak]

If you go into marines, you are just getting into marines, job immaterial. Army is the only branch that guarantees you a specific mos

[lime abyss]

Ight

[old portal]

Is the ranger contract still called option 40?

[coarse laurel]

Correct

[coarse laurel]

Do it, the 82nd needs more people

Lmfao

[lime abyss]

Didn't they tighten their qualifications

[coarse laurel]

Same as it always been

[lime abyss]

Ah

I had a recruiter tell me that

Doesn't surprise me

[coarse laurel]

Be fit coming in, don’t expect to get fit at OSUT/BCT and AIT

[lime abyss]

I have 2 years to train

That's what I'm doing currently

Been lifting hard and working on cardio and stamina

[coarse laurel]

Its all conditioning and building up your mental fortitude

[lime abyss]

What's the type of mindset I should have?

[coarse laurel]

Doesn’t matter if you are strong and shit, people get dropped for not being able to cope or keep up

People also get dropped for the pettiest reason

[lime abyss]

I see

[coarse laurel]

I just got a soldier who got dropped for arguing with a class leader during RASP

[lime abyss]

Don't argue

I guess

[coarse laurel]

Mind you it was a minor disagreement

[lime abyss]

Ah

[coarse laurel]

Just shut up and color

Keep your head down, stand on the rocks, keep up

[lime abyss]

Yup

I got it,

I want a challenge, I've always admired rangers so that's why I want to do it

[coarse laurel]

If you want a challenge just do 18X

The issue with regiment is it’s never permanent

[old portal]

lol

[coarse laurel]

I always tell people it’s not your forever home, just because you make it past rasp doesn’t meant you are there forever. You can get RFS’d for a lot of things

A lot of people fail ranger school, or get in trouble or fail to meet a standard

Or get hurt

Or if you are in a support MOS fail your follow on school like SOCM as a medic

[old portal]

At least it’s now RASP and they semi prepare you to be a new private at batt unlike RIP where thru just murdered you for 3 weeks and if you survived you got sent to batt with zero knowledge and got murdered for knowing nothing

[coarse laurel]

There’s a lot of people in the line right now who used to be regiment and you wouldn’t know because some of em won’t talk about it

[coarse laurel]

Pre rasp, rasp phase 1 then 2

[old portal]

Definitely changed. I just know guys that were RIP era

[coarse laurel]

NCO transplants and officers do rasp 2

Which is a slightly less oppressive version

[old portal]

Oh it’s definitely changed. Tabbed NCO outsiders and Os went thru ROP

[coarse laurel]

I wanna say being a medic at regiment is harder

SOCM eats people up

[old portal]

I believe it. Smaller numbers. Easier to get singled out lol

[coarse laurel]

All your classmates are seals, 160th, navy SARC, PJ’s, 18D’s

You can get peered during that

[coarse laurel]

It’s harder but chill, medics don’t get fucked with as much and they have abit more leeway about being tabbed

As a NCO

Medics are always in demand

[lime abyss]

Damn green beret? I don't even know if I could attempt that

[coarse laurel]

That’s quitter talk

[lime abyss]

That's hard shit bro

I'd be afraid on what to expect

I'll watch some videos

[old portal]

Keep in mind CAG recruits more from Ranger Batt than SF…or at least that’s how it was during GWOT

[coarse laurel]

Still true

A lot of it is also networking

[lime abyss]

Well, I just want a title I can carry, something I can finally be proud of doing.

And as well as serving my country

[old portal]

Any voluntary service is something to be proud of

[coarse laurel]

Poor Ranger Reconnaissance Company always gets forgotten

[old portal]

Titles don’t mean shit

[coarse laurel]

lol

[old portal]

My last CSM promoted out of RRC to come to our BN

[coarse laurel]

My last boss was an RRC medic now PA

He old AF

He graduated ranger school in 2001

[old portal]

Spent entire career in regt then came to line unit for 2 years and bounced

[old portal]

My first 1SG as a private jumped into Grenada with batt in 83….

Had a cpl more 1SG after that jumped into Panama with Batt

[quiet lagoon]

i have a question, i am dumb and don't know how to convert russian military pant size to US standard size. if im a size L, 36/34 what would that be in russian military pant size

[late hound]

dont buy orc pants

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1052017555298062427/1109337279723479140/ezgif.com-gif-maker_1.gif

US size 36 is equivalent to a russian size 46

[quiet lagoon]

thanks man, was confused on the charts.

[plush topaz]

Russia uses its own clothing sizing format? Or European?

[quiet lagoon]

that's where im confused, i am looking at surplus and the sizes are for example, 52-5. is that also euro sizing ? i dont know if the military sizing is different than say if i buy a pair of pants in 46

i messed up already by buying size L surplus US issue surplus and it fits like xxxl ha

[plush topaz]

I also don't get it. Russian sizes made no sense to me. Everything Russian I bought was like 16 sizes too big LOL

[quiet lagoon]

yeah thats what i was worried about, some of that stuff is super expensive and dont wanna mess it up again and have it staring at me laughing at me in my closet. ill do a little more research online, the charts seem to mean nothing

[plush topaz]

Lots of guys with Russian gear here.. Sure they'll chime in eventually

[quiet lagoon]

ive seen a lot of posts with it, thought it's a good place to ask but this certainly isnt the most trafficked channel, you're right, sure some one will know

[late hound]

hopefully i told you the right translations im 99% sure that i am correct as its usually just 10 digits up from US sizes

and i dont see why it would be any different to civilian clothing unless the russians are just really fucking stupid haha

[marsh flint]

Europeans use that 34/34 and 54 etc

46 sounds way smaller than 34/34 if it was used here

We also use 754 where 7 is the length and 54 is the waist

Then there is this in some german online store

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/926286631743389697/1304092075960041566/Screenshot_20241107-163551.png?ex=67360ae3&is=6734b963&hm=2eae80613ec629284bc330198b926f317ce630f9d754849eda962b033bed5d2e&

Actually the Russian size might be that half of the waist

But typically civilian clothes are like XS-XXL or multiple Xs like 3XL

You can buy a spiritus placard and put pistol inserts in it

That’s a little far from where I am, but thank you

[plush topaz]

Doesn't make sense for an American to buy from Canada anyway. Your market is immense by comparison. Exponentially larger selection. Vastly cheaper.

[opal vector]

Any recommendations? Trying to go hog hunting in brush country

[spiral elbow]

Custom night vision, Steele industries, licentia arms, night vision network, etc. There are plenty of vendors just check around and compare prices and warranties and all

[plush topaz]

If you're entirely new to night vision I suggest watching some videos and learn about the lingo and numbers.

Understanding a tubes spec sheet is very important

But none of it will make much sense until actual real world use.

I just got back from deployment and am sending in my pvs14 to be rebuilt for higher gain as my unit was just a bit too dim on low ambient light urban settings

[bronze forum]

Looks like I’m gonna wait a couple years until I’m out of college to even begin considering NVG

Yeah don't cheap out and buy that crap

[opal vector]

Buy once cry once, got it

[barren pebble]

the only reason to get digital NVGs is maybe hunting

[plush topaz]

Well. If you're really in a bind then digital may work for you.

[snow scarab]

PVS15s are pretty much only surplus

[formal skiff]

IDF never pay for you ?

[cobalt bramble]

Yeah

No reason to buy them new

[snow scarab]

that’s why you can pay so little

he’s also canadian which is why it costs so much for gen 3 tubes

[cobalt bramble]

Well even a Argus 1431 is about that price

The price of a 15 I mean

[lime abyss]

I hang out with my cat in the dark usually with my gear on when I'm larping

[low fox]

i have a plate carrier setup that’s not too shit but like that doesn’t look at cats in the dark very well so i never do anything with it

Here's one of my belt setups

I'm saving some money to do a Russian VDV hostomel kit

Yeah man the VDV fucks hard, too bad theyre all dead

[plush topaz]

Too good. Scared the shit out of me many times with their laser beam eye balls

[low fox]

these fake ass comtacs are not bad ngl i don’t think id trust them shooting but i want to try

[plush topaz]

It was a ballsy mission.

[lime abyss]

[plush topaz]

I've read a lot about it

[low fox]

my cat doesn’t like when i stare at him in the dark he gets all wigged out

I just really like Russian gear

The funniest part was when the CNN guy accidentally ran into them

It's cool to me

I need to go night hiking

[plush topaz]

For real? Looks decent

[low fox]

shits trash compared to mine but like for $200 it’s chill for cat investigation

it was a full moon and really bright

[lime abyss]

Hopefully when I enlist I get that cool thermal night vision overlay shit

[low fox]

but it was chill

[lime abyss]

Although I'm doing marines so I doubt I'll get jack shit

I'll be handed some stuff from fallujah and a barebones M16 and told to go fight China

Oorah

[low fox]

thermal coti would be fire to look at cats

[lime abyss]

My cats are thermal and nvg proof

I enhanced their performance

They each conceal carry Glock 17's

[low fox]

ya well my cats are very cute and fun and they like to play

[lime abyss]

I dress my cats up with bowties

And take a gazillion pictures of them

Actually I've been watching this one marine channel

Infantry based

And they got some nice stuff

Like spiritus systems gear

[old portal]

Marines have skimmed their numbers quite a bit and most Marine issued infantry kit seems pretty solid now. The days of hand me downs seem like the past

[lime abyss]

And ops cores

[lime abyss]

Oh sweet man

I was planning on doing either Marine recon or MARSOC

Im just gonna do infantry for the first couple years as I have to do that in order to tryout for both

[old portal]

Major reason I did army when I enlisted was equipment. Army issue was far superior then

[lime abyss]

I like Marines because of their mission, history and of course their blues

[old portal]

At the time I was enlisting I knew where I would most likely end up and gear and training opportunities for army infantry was just light years beyond at the time

[lime abyss]

Totally

Army back then was just better in general

My instructor for one of my rifle classes I went to was in the marines back in the early 00's and he said they were issued shit from Vietnam

[old portal]

Friend of mine was USMC infantry during initial Iraq invasion in 03. They had one pair of PVS7 for each squad to share. M16A2/irons with lights taped onto the forends…I was an army private with an M4/optics/light/PEQ2. Our SAWs and 240s had rails with PEQ2s and optics

Everyone issued PVS14

[lime abyss]

Wow

[drifting mural]

what type of nvgs do you got?

[lime abyss]

This goes insanely hard

[snow scarab]

nice

[low fox]

a pvs14 gp and a digital night fox prowl

[drifting mural]

Nice

[low fox]

thats awesome. im looking to dual band or coti, reccomendations for either option?

[low fox]

ye they look at cats good

[spiral elbow]

Depends on the application tbh. A coti is obviously less modular and you don’t really get the range a dedicated monocular would.

[low fox]

i gotcha i gotcha

[lime abyss]

I also haveeeee

Strawberry jam and apple jelly

Both are so fucking good on their own

But even better when sandwiched on crackers

[lime abyss]

Fr

Or on crackers

Yeah

Also

The beef stew

Oh my god

It's so good

When you add the salt and pepper packets and dip the crackers In it

[snow scarab]

why would you willingly eat an MRE?

[proud peak]

Cause I was hungry duh

Damn

And I’m poor

So

[proud peak]

Dude, mine came with the government hot sauce 🤤🤤

[snow scarab]

MREs are like 10 bucks a pop

[proud peak]

Nah

I got a 16 pack for like 60 bucks

It’s been in my basement for like 8 months

[lime abyss]

I'm getting so ripped off

I buy a case for like 100 something

[old portal]

Extreme LARP

[grand mountain]

I've eaten one before because I had them lying around and had nothing else in the house lol

[compact dagger]

1. can't be fucked enough to make any other food 2) eating that while fishing 3) hangover food

for me at least

Plus I skip eating them on training, and if I don't sell them to civvies then I just eat them fuckers

Sometimes we manage to trade ours for foreign ones

[plush topaz]

I also love mres lol. It's like a treat for me

Israeli mres are terrible because they aren't actually mres

Just canned food 😂

[timber linden]

MRE’s are literally worse for you than fast food

People just casually eating them because they think it looks cool

[tepid ingot]

RE lookin food

[plush topaz]

They really are. Unless you're burning a billion calories a day in 120F

[old portal]

This. Once some of these MRE enjoyers have lived off one a day for extended periods if time they will see them differently

[plush topaz]

@old portal you ever try Canadian mres

[old portal]

Nope. Only one I ever had not US was Korean…..never again

[plush topaz]

[old portal]

Rice and fish MRE

[plush topaz]

Did it have preserved tripe in a gochuchang sauce

[plush topaz]

Fish mre. Good God

[old portal]

Ya it was an…Experience

I did a jungle survival class with Thai SF when I was in Thailand with my recce platoon. We trapped and cooked a rat…another experience

[plush topaz]

That sounds fun. How was it. I hear they taste like chicken

[old portal]

Actually ya like really thin crispy chicken

Basically thrown in open fire long enough to burn all hair off and then tear meat off

[plush topaz]

Worst we had to do was eat raw snails in the desert

[old portal]

I’m down for burned rat over raw snails

[formal skiff]

French like this content

[timber linden]

I hear it makes you unable to shit

[old portal]

Some would go days without shitting but I honestly don’t know if it was food induced or just stress induced that the body shuts down certain functions

Old lore that MREs contained a substance to keep guys from getting erections. All lore no truth to it

[timber linden]

Nah we all know the dangers of combat boners

[plush topaz]

That... Isn't a thing

[old portal]

No it is not

[coarse laurel]

It’s the vitamin d chocolate bar supplements

Aka bone bars

With an r

[old portal]

wtf is this?

[coarse laurel]

They give this to trainees every night to help with bone density

Because a lot of folks are getting MSK injuries

[old portal]

My god

[coarse laurel]

Kids today aren’t as healthy as before

[old portal]

Army so soft now even the bones are soft

[coarse laurel]

Nutrition now is so different from the previous generation

[old portal]

Soft bones 20 years ago…take a knee and drink more water

[coarse laurel]

The army is soft but the same can be said during the surge era where’s there’s no standard lol

[old portal]

The standards turned crazy starting around 06 for sure

[coarse laurel]

Remember those photos of these obese fucks in combat tops? That’s peak surge era right there haha

Anyone with a pulse can get in

[old portal]

We weren’t getting those fat bodies in infantry but we were getting legitimate criminals

[coarse laurel]

That too

[old portal]

Pretty sure some guys couldn’t legally possess a gun outside a combat zone lol

08/09 is when we started chaptering privates that showed up to units with heroin addictions

Might sound crazy but i I honestly believe discipline standards and expectations lowered when we left the BDU spit and starches and uniforms became wash and wear. I was an NCO in both periods and having the discipline to press your BDUs and shine your boots every night carried over into every day work/training

It seemed like an immediate drop in quality when we got our first privates outside that era

[coarse laurel]

It’s changed so instead of shining boots and starching ur shit they just make us work more

lol

Turns out when ur not busy doing that shit there’s more room for activities

[old portal]

But those things happened at night on your own time. Guys just took more pride in shit then it seemed like

[coarse laurel]

The focus basically just shifted, turns out having shiny boots and starched clothes doesn’t win wars. That shit was a thing because of peace time

It’s starting to shift in that direction right now because there’s rumors of us having to wear AGSU’s in garrison

So here’s me hoping some shit pops off

[timber linden]

No shit

[coarse laurel]

There’s also changes like not overfixating on 350-1 training and other metrics like that

[coarse laurel]

This is why people hate the new SMA

[timber linden]

Army is politically correct now

[coarse laurel]

Dude thought he would be chill since he was an SF baby from USASOC

But he wants back to basics

Even regiment now is getting fucked down and SF units across the board can’t have beards and shit anymore stateside

[coarse laurel]

Not to sound like a conspiracy nut but a lot of the non politically correct leaders retired or were retired during the last admin lol

Like Gen Abrams

[old portal]

Ya at this point he’s a politician

[timber linden]

Regardless of what caused it, most “manly” men don’t want to be in an environment where they are educated on pronouns.

The US military really fucked up catering to those people imo

[coarse laurel]

Are you in the Army right now?

[timber linden]

Fuck no

[coarse laurel]

lol so what do you know about “manly men” then? You are saying we can’t win wars anymore because of “pronouns”?

While I agree it’s a load of bullshit

[timber linden]

Does being in the army make you a manly men, or are you only a manly man in the army?

[coarse laurel]

Manly men will always be there

[timber linden]

I’m saying the political climate turns a lot of people off from the idea of joining

[coarse laurel]

I said this because you seem to be under the impression that no “manly folks” join anymore, they do just not in huge amounts as before

We don’t have an actual war on at the moment

I agree with the whole bit about some policies damaging the force

[timber linden]

I said most not all, and even most was an exaggeration.

[coarse laurel]

That’s changing soon I bet lol

[timber linden]

It will, I think this election really showed how fed up most Americans are will the bullshit.

I mean republicans won basically everything

By a LARGE margin

[coarse laurel]

I’m off to do recruiting duty next year, I’m hoping this shit actually helps

[timber linden]

It may, it may not. I just hope Trump keeps us out of war, and we stop poking Russia with a stick.

[storm peak]

That's quite literally the intent behind agsus though

A uniform to bridge the gap between class c/utility and class a but more formal than traditional class b

For daily office wear

And uhh, you're going to be wearing yours every week

[coarse laurel]

Speaking of, did they issue you additional greens at arc?

[storm peak]

Ye, at week 3? You will go to clothing and sales and literally breadbasket line the uniform and stuff

Checkout at the register but it's all paid for by usarec

[coarse laurel]

I’m still holding on to my blues for dear life lol

[storm peak]

Agsus are much nicer, you'll get them at the arc

[coarse laurel]

Thank god

[storm peak]

Word of advice for you is that you should find the color sewn patch for your deployment patch

[coarse laurel]

I’m gonna be wearing my blues for the last time at the ball

[storm peak]

Fort knox clothing and sales is usually sold out on big unit color patch

[coarse laurel]

I heard about this

[storm peak]

Oh and I bought the ike jacket

Agsu ike jacket looks clean af

$400

[coarse laurel]

Worth it since u wear it often

[old portal]

AGSU that WW2 looking uniform?

[coarse laurel]

Yes

Pinks and greens

[snow scarab]

that’s not really an actual thing

[marsh flint]

yanks were training here

funny gear

[timber fog]

Yeah I hated 1st grade english too

[grand mountain]

even then they're fucking awful for you

if you dont burn a morbillion calories youll get fat as shit but independent of that everything is so saturated with preservatives that it wreaks havoc on your digestive system

specifically it can cause intestinal blockage

since they werent designed to be eaten consistently

[plush topaz]

Of course

[prisma lintel]

Got a new helmet cover. My other one didn't fit very well. Also got a night vision retainer. Finally. I waited to long for that.

[plush topaz]

Cadex?

Danish helmet?

[prisma lintel]

Cadex yeah

And Pgd gen 3 or whatever.

I think it's from Denmark.

[plush topaz]

Same same

[lime stag]

Oh shit lmk how ARC is, ive always wondered what exactly they teach, did you volunteer or "volunteer"?

[lime abyss]

Tavor?

[lime abyss]

Should've had a Haji killer patch

Would've gone hard

[timber linden]

Don’t think it has anything to do with learning English

[barren pebble]

Are your eyes working

[old portal]

Only larpers wear dumb patches like that on kits. Advertisement of dumb shit on your uniform in combat zones typically frowned upon

[lime abyss]

Oh I didn't see the front sight post

[barren pebble]

or the a2 birdcage or government barrel lol

[lime abyss]

I feel like an idiot

Smh

[lime abyss]

Didn't that one pilot guy have something like that on his uniform and got a bunch of shit for it

A lieutenant of course

[coarse laurel]

I volunteered lol

I also heard the course is about familiarizing yourself with regulations for the most part
