Yo have we seen any good Velcro Boog patches? I want to spread awareness

My old carry gear.

Nice beard

Yeah I don't rock that beard anymore. These days I keep it well trimmed.

Even though I'm half black/half white people seem to think I'm from the middle east for some reason?

So when my beard grows out people call me a terrorist lol

I just have a porn star stash

Dude you are never fully equipped with out the tactical facial hair.

Not allowed.

Different regulations for different MOS. We didn't really have any regulations like that. The higher ups just said that we had to follow the US military standards...did not specify which standards...and we(me) abused the hell out of it.

Have to be able to wear an oxygen mask now. When I flew helos we were allowed to grow beards on deployment

Does the beard actually interfeir with the Oxy mask? I am trying to remember if I ever wore my gasmask when I was sporting the beard.

You don’t have a full seal

Youd be fine. We have foreign pilots with beards getting O2 just fine

But that's the excuse thrown at us.

But for O2 you don’t need a full seal. It’s just O2

You can revive o2 without a full seal

Yup

I grow my mustache out of regs and keep my hair out of regs as a form of passive defiance

More middle management bureaucracy BS.

We openly defied our regs via misapplication of the US regulations as a middle finger to our higher ups.

Our current CO wants us to send him everything we want to post on social media so he can approve of it. So I got a few guys together and we blew his phone up with memes

That stopped the whole ordeal

Well I can understand that. A lot of SM blackeyes out there.

Rock whataburger sunglasses too. Also out of regs. Haha

Cant boog without orange sunglasses

I got one of those.

Haha

Because, fuck the guy to your left.

Good lord

Yeah that was from when I first mounted the chest holster. I later canted it, per image above.

Never changed the holster?

I later swapped it out for a leg rig. I used the chest mount due to the amount of time we spent in vehicles. Yeah its a serpa, but that was back in like 2008(?) before that be report from the DHS came out that misrepresented them. SERPAs are actually not nearly as bad as all that crap you have heard about them.

I mean, I can see where the danger can come from with those.

I use a leg holster but have mine currently set up for my plate carrier because Im in a vehicle a lot now

Actually you can't because first off the danger was only from striker fire guns, and it was grossly over stated, the DHS case was based on only FOUR incidences and one of them was with a kydex holster not a Serpa.

The video I saw was someone who kept their index finger depressed through the draw and accidentally pulled the trigger. Was there a different reason behind the report?
