it just gives me more time to rally the fuck up and get back out there as a better warrior. all of those old SOCOM guys can be a bit crusty. they dont want to see new blood in their organizations.

@Kalki-1776 they are very selective in that field man

They do not take very many people anymore

field is way too saturated now

I have friends in the PMC and security bidnis

If you don't have a CIB you aren't useful unfortunately

The nature of their work is primarily HVT extraction and protection now

same here, i had a buddy whos in triple canopy get me an interview

or asset protection

what kind of infantry BCT are you in

and I don't want this to sound rude or anything but they're very selective for even AD dudes, if you're NG you aren't seen as much in that sphere of things

lots of old dudes

that don't realize what the NG is

1-157th mountain

you went to mountain warfare?

that's pretty good

i mean its goof shit and stuff, but yeah, there are SF units here in CO

i'm tellin ya man

it's CIB or nothing nowadays

you don't have one of those you're not worth shit no more

nah, havent gone yet. but the unit is 1-157th. and they are a mountain unit, they do a summer and a winter mountain camp! its gonna be fun, like the boy scouts but with m4s

I have an EIB, Airborne, Ranger tab, various smaller non tabbed schools and shit

and i'm not competitive enough for these

because no CIB

but yeah im enlisted with those fuckers

oh hell yeah

okay, tell me, whats the deal with CIB?

you didn't deploy to combat

give me the low down

your skills are unproven

that's abotu it

For us grunts if you don't actually fight the enemy ever nobody knows how you'll actually fare in those situations

it's not a decade ago anymore

tons of grunts don't actually fight anymore

fair, apparently we are getting deployed in 2021? but who the fuck knows

to combat?

Doubt it man

probably not

then it's still worthless

only line unit that got deployed last was the 82nd

they got some

but that's it

everyone else sits in the wire

true man, yeah, basically fucked for that

I have a combat patch funny enough but it's from the Mexican Drug War

didn't count as combat

but i still got a patch

lol okay story time

P O G

yes

how the FUCK did you get an patch from the mexican drug war?

it was a combat zone

ran drug interdiction raids

you were deployed in mexico?

yeah multiple times

holy shit

Flew from Benning to Bliss, and crossed into Juarez

aided mexican national guard

and mexican police

youre not SF right?

nop

I'm in a special task force though

it's one of those in between line and special forces type deal

are you with an SF unit?

we were basically ranger larpers

TF 1-28

ah, you see that would explain it

one of the other companies in my batallion deployed to AFG and got some

but my company didn't

and i'm forever salty

damn

yeah id be salty too

then again two of my best friends came back in caskets from that

so

i don't know lol

id also be salty about that

I'm on terminal leave rn

about to hit 8th year in

gonna go NG EOD

in an SF support company

got a slot to try out and everything

fuck yeah man! thats the way to do it

good on you too

Ayy HOOAHHHH

Get it battle

well it looks like it's either that or aviation to get deployed

and i wanna be on the ground

like once

Bu bu bu Spaceship door gunner.

Gotta kill the Space VC

yeee

nice thing is that in the nasty girl world apparently having a ranger tab means people listen to you lol

so i just point at that

and doors open

i remember this guy talking about how he wishes he could be hit with shrapnel in AF while sitting behind the wire so he could get his combat patch

ok thats retarded

cab chasers

i know, i just laughed

too much of a pussy bitch to go out into the fight

just wants a medal
