glad to be here

thanks!!

lol hell yeah, I saw you had a discord so I had to join. I haven't used discord for awhile so i thought id give it at least some good use.

lol right on, i'm just a gun guy who runs a tactical shooting club.

outside of Denver actually, also work at an FFL, I maintain machine guns and sell civilian legal variants.

haha once i thought i wanted to be a fed, but i decided against it.

im doing army national guard but no federal shit.

lol

fair, yeah, its joint. my cousin is a US marshal.

that shit is no joke

im getting into the private sector soon. hopefully as an armorer for triple canopy.

id rather be a warrior in a garden than a gardener in a war @thedarkness05

john! its your favorite goon

you got me there

and my south african accent is on point, lets face it

Can’t log in, what is it?

why do we care about this lady and her case?

ah, yeah thats fair.

yeah, cant argue there. its pretty indefensible.

yeah, i saw that too, same here. i have basically an alpha AK clone with a trijicon up top and a surefire light as one of my favorites in my collection.

best to do it before the whole shit show that will be the election

im thinking about doing a BCM/Aero 11.5 inch pistol with the SBA3, should be a sweet little gun

nah man, pistol, i dont feel like doing the stupid tax stamp

yeah man, the NFA is retarded but I need to stay within the bounds of legality.

lol

i work for an FFL, getting the SBA3 at cost is cheap too lol

You talking shit about the Chair Bourne rangers?

Let’s face it, the only real branch for men is the puddle pirates.

@jaruspk i highly recommend you study stoicism, its helped me a ton when it comes to relationship issues and almost everything in life. Heres the thing, there's some things you cannot change, that includes other peoples behavior, health, wealth, and culture. all you can change is how you will react to it

okay and what is SB?

give me the low down @jaruspk

okay, fair. you can only help her to an extent, but its ultimately not up to you, you need to let go at a certain point

it sounds like youre taking responsibility for something that isnt your fault and something you cannot change

@jaruspk theres a point where something will never be in your hands, if my GF leaves me tomorrow, i know ill be okay because its out of my hands

is it sad? yes. but its realism and stoicism that keeps us sane

yeah, i highly recommend a few books for you gents

mediations by marcus aurelius

it changed my life, im telling you guys, im happier than ever after reading stoic books, ive been wounded so badly ive been home bound for two years, ive had my heart broken, stoic teachings taught be to NEVER quit in the face of absolute death.

ive been on 16 mile ruck marches lead by special forces, puked my guts out at 4 AM

these books validated it all

also read: seneca on the shortness of life

@jaruspk and @Thomatorr, King of Ohio read these guys. you will love them

stoicism for dummies

boom

there are loads of youtube content about stoicism. go check it out, if youre dealing with depression, anxiety, "doomerism", any of that shit. check it out

here's the basic tenant @jaruspk. you can put EVERYTHING in your life into a binary, things you can change and things you cannot. if you can change the situation, fucking good! if you cant, dont even invest emotionally.

when im driving in the car and my GF starts yelling at me because i made a wrong turn. i just turn around. why should i get upset? what good could it do? can i change how she feels? no

if im at the range and it starts raining, i think "thank the gods i can train in adverse weather"! why not turn a bad situation into mental training

stoic teachings teach us to let go of things we cannot change.

top die inside and come back again

scenica said, men are often more tortured by what is in their minds than what is in the physical world

alright! well do what you CAN do, but leave it at that

and why is that?

youre in college?

oh right on, my GF is from poland.

okay hear me out

you cannot focus on getting a woman in general

Okay wait, you’re going to need to rephrase that. I’m not sure I follow

Ah, yeah, of course.

And it’s fair, but dude! It’s out of your power

I know it’s sad, but at some point you need to learn to let go of it will swallow you whole

I’m not going to tell you something that’s false, you can’t change the past.

We all need to learn that lesson at some point, that’s why stoicism is so important. There is only two choices, stoicism or insanity and sadness

Time heals what reason cannot @jaruspk remember that

True, and @jaruspk hang in there. Just remember the tenants of stoic teachings, because they will help you

I get it, it’s fucked, I’ve lost people I loved too. But time fixes this shit. It absolutely does work.

You gotta get out of the house too. Hit the gym, go to the range, have some fun man

See the sunlight

Yeah man, you cannot let emotions become an obstacle to growth. There is a limit you know?

Anyone here from/in Colorado?

I run a tactical training club here. We will do our annual training in the spring. It should be sweet.

Well. Help run rather, it will be sweet

I’m going to a private military contractor school down there for the US army equivalent to sniper school. Should be fun!

Nope! But I know those guys

We aren’t an LLC, just a bunch heavily armed guys and gals.

Fuck yeah, this year we are doing TCCC, movement to contact, radios, long range patrolling and more

ABCS

Fuck yeah, probably should!

Always wanting to learn new shit

It’s so much more fun when it’s not with the army

Fuck yeah. Too bad you’re not out there!

I need to get re certified on that shit because I’m signing up to go to AF with a private company

Triple canopy, sent my application in, they got back to me and wanted an interview

But I need my certs

I probably need to learn it then. I’m guessing you were down at Carson yeah?

And I also recon you were an 11B yeah?

What is everyone’s workout routine? I’ve trained non stop, six days a week for about four years since the army officers training. I’ve trained pretty much everything but I have a hard time getting mass. I lost a lot of weight when I got hurt and need to gain that shit back.

So no pushups, sit-ups, runs?

@jaruspk yeah man. I understand, my GF speaks polish and it’s sometimes hard to understand her family. But I’m learning just to help accommodate that

I gotta ask, how hard is it to get an AK/AR in Poland?

I’m a gun guy, I have both and AK and an AR, I’ve owned several, I also work for a legal tactical Gun dealer/trainer here in the US. But I’m always curious about other nations.

And what is that?

Lol

Well I’ve got quite a doozy for my issues.

Triple canopy fucking no call listed me because I don’t have enough experience with security and combat experience. I just have experience with tactical shooting and automatic firearms.

Which sucks for them because I’ll get my sniper school qualifications and a sweet spot on the army. And they won’t get me as an employee. Still, it sucks

That’s what’s super insulting, sure I’m younger but I still feel capable to do a quick security job in Kabul

I could have been a great employee once o get my qualifications

I don’t understand why I got blacklisted for gods sake
