-5 points for failure to properly deploy and utilize the knife hand. Nothin' rocks the school circle like using the ol' knife hand. 9 out of 10 Lance Corporals and below love the knife hand. 1 out of 10 can shut their fucking pie hole and do flutter kicks till I get tired.
Gotta love the example of personal responsibility. Points for taking an M9 under the " if it's good enough for you guys... " vein. Delete points for the POS serpa holster. Boat Guy
The folks giving crap due to the choice of weapon, holster, etc:
Criticizing a civilian politician for those choices is sort of like criticizing a talking dog because of it's accent and word choice; ignoring the fact it's a freaking talking dog.
Of course he was a jarhead, aviator type, in a previous life, so maybe not so surprising.
Actually I think his demeanor and the atmosphere of the gathering, "this is commander's intent" but with less-than-pontificating body language, etc., speak more than the choice to arm himself.
If your talking dog's gonna go strapped then we gear-queers are gonna comment. Just the way of this world. We desperately NEED a guy who's gonna undo the damage that the last shithead(s) did and someone who's showing up in a photo like that may be just the guy. Certainly hope so.

The other day I was discussing how the Navy has changed over the last 20 years with another ex-sub sailor. Both of us agreed that we probably wouldn't make it in today's Navy.
A nice thought Aesop but those pogues wouldn't be anywhere topside during the mid. The former CO of Shiloh probably never ventured onto the weather decks after dark. He'd be a good start to the program, along with that bitch holly graff. It'd take a lot of underway time to clean up the Fleet. Be a lot of E-9's practicing their drownproofing as well; the CPO "community" needs a thorough cleaning too. BG
SECNAV rockin the M-9, with a mag in the magwell? Righteous!
ReplyDeleteLove it! A military leader with the balls to know Assholistan is a dangerous place and he is responsible for his own safety.
ReplyDelete+2 points for the side arm.
ReplyDelete-1 point if side arm is an M9.

ReplyDeleteWasn't this where we developed the Marine Combat Hunter program...?

Au contraire.
ReplyDeleteI suspect instead, a lot of 0-6s and 0-7s would "fall overboard" underway during the mid watch.
Are we talking about the fact that he's armed?
ReplyDeleteNonchalantly so, and no one's gotten a case of the vapors over it.
