@Zaid_Ikari @Tacticaljavi999 @hammychez @Ash_Hess1 you’ll enjoy this I promise…

@Zaid_Ikari @xMajorKills @darian_johns @n7nar0sis @Tacticaljavi999 @hammychez When did you deploy and what was your MOS?

[Adam Wilson @1MOAsolutions]

I retired as a SFC also. While I agree with you that SNCO’s can be (and often are) the dumbest MFs out there it’s usually for stuff like having everyone set up their plate carrier the same way because “uniformity”. Or telling you not to walk on the parade field because it’s not meant to be walked on all the time.

But I’ve yet to run into a SGM who gets mad about having too much lube on the rifle range and I’ve run ranges for combat arms to support. It’s always one of the things you double check before you go to the range because you know the SGM is gonna want to see it when they show up. Along with eye and ear protection for everyone, medic placards for the 12 PAX van the medics are using and a signed copy of your risk assessment. It’s like they teach them to look for that shit at the SGM academy or something.

@syskusa @Zaid_Ikari @darian_johns @n7nar0sis @Tacticaljavi999 @hammychez He’s got to be. There’s no way someone’s this stupid and stayed in for 15 years.

In today’s episode of “I don’t know what I’m talking about…”

[Justice Bait Themhoes |🍃|🔌🐰|🥥🧁| @Zaid_Ikari]

Yeah it just seems that there are dumb people everywhere. Some people take their skills that they earn from being taking care of their range bitch weapons that never seen the outside and thinking that they should put CPL on military equipment. If anyone put CPL before you get on the range, they're up sending you won't for failure cuz the moment that a little dirt gets into that weapon. You're fucked. But this only is for the AR platform any other weapon would probably be fine except for AK you need to rub dirt in that fucker for it and start working properly to begin with.

[Adam Wilson @1MOAsolutions]

@Zaid_Ikari @Mikeymikeymik15 @Tacticaljavi999 @hammychez Nah. That ain’t how that works and I have questions about your experiences in the “sandbox”. When you say you “had to play in the sandbox” what does that mean? What’s your MOS and when/where did you deploy?

[Adam Wilson @1MOAsolutions]

I call BS. It’s like you’re trolling for attention by saying the opposite of what happens. CLP bottles are part of every range ops box in the Army and the Risk Assessment typically includes a section talking about soldiers coming on and off the firing line. Going onto the range is SOP to have CLP bottles there specifically so you can lube squirt the bolt down prior to shooting so it doesn’t JAM. There isn’t a single SGM out there who’s going to chew someone out for HAVING CLP at the firing line. But pretty much every one is going to loose their mind if you DONT have one and aren’t actively lubing your rifle before shooting.

[Adam Wilson @1MOAsolutions]

Tell me you haven’t done anything combat arms related in the Army without telling me…

This is some of the dumbest shit I’ve heard and I hate that you use your time in service as an attempt to validate your statement and are somehow in a position to correct Soldiers.

Noticed you posted a photo of “Retrans life” so I’m guessing you’re commo. If so you’re the last person who should be leveraging your military “experience” regarding firearms.

[Adam Wilson @1MOAsolutions]

@ShamashAran Absolutely. I tell the dog not to let the cats burn the place down. So far it’s worked.

[Adam Wilson @1MOAsolutions]

@rev3_s @MrLeadslinger This is the way.

[Kentucky Squirrel 🐿️ ☦️ @KySquirrel_90]

If you're writing style is Mil-SF, then this might be the perfect opportunity for you!
Very cool of Baen to do this!

[Adam Wilson @1MOAsolutions]

@FordFischer This episode was wild! The way you’ve edited the clips so you can see the differences between everyone’s stories and then comparing the reactions they each have is hilarious. Props to you for keeping a straight face.

[Adam Wilson @1MOAsolutions]

@TheBuddyCSM The doughnut of misery! Oh man that brings back memories.

[Adam Wilson @1MOAsolutions]

@s6_37f @Schwalm5132 Oh I remember that BS. My first deployment was 18 months and we spent plenty of time in Sadr City.

[Adam Wilson @1MOAsolutions]

@HardPass4 Oh you went wayyyyy back for this one! The follow up video to this was hilarious.

[Adam Wilson @1MOAsolutions]

Facts! The MWR internet & phone center was a complete mess.

[CharlieRockUnfiltered @BlueCordCSM]

Before Wi-Fi in your CHU, before FaceTime, before everyone carried a smartphone… There was the MWR INTERNET & PHONE CENTER.

This was probably the most emotionally dangerous building on the entire FOB.

You'd wait 45 minutes for a computer, log in, open Yahoo Mail, and then wait some more.

And wait some more. "LOADING…" you'd finally get one email from home, only for the dude running the place to yell, “YOU GOT FIVE MINUTES LEFT!” 😂😂😂

And the phone booths were even better. You'd stand in line forever, clutching an AT&T calling card like it was classified material. Finally calling home:

“Hey, babe, it's me.”
3-second satellite delay.
“What?”
“I SAID IT'S ME.”
“What?”
“NEVER MIND.”

Meanwhile, somebody three booths down would be having the loudest deployment breakup in GWOT history, and 15 dudes in line would be pretending they couldn't hear every single word.

And God help you if a COMMS BLACKOUT happened. Suddenly, everybody knew. Nobody asked questions.

If you experienced the early-GWOT internet café/phone center, you probably have a story to tell.

👇 WHAT DO YOU REMEMBER ABOUT THESE PLACES?

[Ramon Torres @tainostoic]

@smcroasters Keeping one in the chamber is a legal Liability. Unless you're in a war zone, most cases allow for time for you to rack it back. If you're too slow to do that, you're not ready to carry a gun. End of discussion.

@jqmcrdpjp7 @thereal_SnS Bwahahaha…

New copy paste meme just dropped…

@thereal_SnS I’m a former Marine Security Guard. Ran active patrols in nasty places.

[Adam Wilson @1MOAsolutions]

Ended up grabbing a Christenson Arms Ranger bolt action .22 and a Ruger Mark IV for the mini me to train with and both are giggle machines when you shoot them suppressed. You can’t help but giggle and want to shoot more because they’re so quiet and easy to shoot. Once you get a suppressed.22 it becomes the go to plinker just because they’re so much fun.
