What are Chopstick and Dame doing in that helicopter??

Pffft..they always get my bad side.

Pfftt....I knew it wasn't chop or Dame in that photo....those guys are too tall.

They call them stilts and it takes mad skillz to run and jump in them.

FORT CARSON, COLO.-A Green Beret from 10th Special Forces Group (Airborne) overlooks as a Russian Soldier fires a M240B machine gun during a machine gun familiarization course May 17. U.S. Special Forces routinely train with foreign forces in order to strengthen relationships and expand on cultural familiarization. (U.S. Army Photo by PFC Eugene Winfrey)

Never seen the MAG being fired like that.. We are trained to have our left hand placed on the butt, tight into the shoulder.

Ahhhh, we get to see some of the long talked about joint US/RUS training, nice! Any more pics?

 

[JackMurphyRGR]

Yes, that picture is of me on the Little Bird. Where have you guys been? I posted that on Kit Up! when I wrote for them about a year ago...

Looks fucking weird doesn't it?


Jack, that's an awfully nice rifle in that pic on the previous page!

Epic beard too! LOL

You get the fabled operator beard when you get enough points playing MOH

 

[JackMurphyRGR]

Thanks guys, I got so many gangster points from that one that I almost reached Mack Bolan status. I may have attained it after MFF but I'm sure there are others out there who can one up me. We need an impartial judge!

Watch?

(I swear DKnob made me do it. LOL!)

There's a guy on my team who is always wearing a really nice Citizen... some guys like nice watches.

Didn't is used to be an SF thing that everyone had a Rolex or something?

I have a titanium Tissot that I wore all the time, never worried about it. After Kabul it seized up though, the jewellery guy that repaired it said it was probably all the sweat that broke the seal; then corroded it. Cost $100 to fix it and it runs like new but with all the "character" from years of wear.

Also, I think he overdid it with the American Flag on the chest.

Nothing screams "screw stealth I'm from Murica!" like a giant ass U.S. flag on your chest in the middle of a warzone. Still, gotta at least give him props for the "fuck the enemy, this is who's coming for you" factor it produces. Guess you can weigh one against the other.

The only Rolexes I've seen are the ones you can get in downtown Kandahar. I've only been around here for about 4 years though, so who knows.

I don't even think this guy is the Army. He's wearing black body armor and has a non-milspec uniform- no glint tape on the sleeves.

The new ACU's don't have it on the upper pocket flap anymore

That's what I was thinking... Looks more to me like a civilian working in support. Possibly somebody else...
