Is this how it's done?

man I so wish I had trigger time on a m249..

No you don't. It's not so much trigger time as it is POPS time.
If you're gonna wish, wish for something fun... 240, M2, the marky-mark...

Ah, memories.

In 1980, our Army DI's were just like those Marines...

Not the pansy shit they apparently have these days.

I have a strong memory of a DI's boot in the back of my k-pot for getting too heavy on the trigger with the pig.

I have a strong memory of a DI's boot in the back of a steel pot on a GI in a foxhole that muzzle swept another DI. Broke his damn nose.

Didn't break mine, but made me choke down a good mouthful of dirt.

Steel pot! You're dating yourself there old guard.

I did say 1980. Boot was at Ft. Jackson Jan-Mar and our barracks were right across from the DI school. I firmly believe that got us special attention from our DI's.

Had a TI yell at me once. He decided the hem in my fatigues was too long, and made me rip it out and hand over a 341. Spent 30 minutes that evening sewing it back in.
True story. Air Force basic is hell I tell ya.

Pshhh, one time in little league football. I had to run a lap for not hustling. I quit the next year.

Sorry for derailing this thread. Back on course. How about those silly mooslems.

That's how I would imagine Erkle in the Army.

The SAW is like a trophy wife, you have to watch what you feed her, have to maintain and clean her and you can't ask her to do too much.
The 240 is like your athletic mistress, you can feed her anything, she doesn't mind getting dirty, you can pound the shit out of it and she will ask for more and she loves to be used and abused, as long as you keep her lubed.
I would rather own a 249
