Is this how it's done?

Bet they also canceled happy hour that night too, huh! Draconian man, draconian!

USAF basic is all in your head..
be reasonably fit, be safe with a m16 (all two days I handled one), and be precise and focused..
when working on/around planes being precise and focused is key, cause that shit is dangerous.. (not quite the crazy flight deck of a carrier, but still not safe)

LOL I did not learn anything about tactical shooting while in the military, all just proficiency stuff...
basic:
qualified with m16 (shot it once)
flight status:
qualified with the S&W revolver (shot it once)
qualified with a xm177 (shot it once)
qualified with the M9 (shot it once) survival pack change.

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...

Big +1.

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

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.

This is the all time worst cringe video I've seen. Even worse than ol' boy who frags his squad when he can't get his (training) grenade over the wall.

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
