>>64760609Yeah you could be a TACP. The one with us had a sick mustache and one time he killed a guy like ordering a pizza. Don't get stationed in Bishkek.
>>64760609AF jobs:>pilot (officers only)>maintenance (hellhole)>security forces (garbage)>finance, supply, HR, medical (cushy and full of wooks)>intel and cyber (cushy, can be cool)>SOF (cool but very difficult)Was there something in particular you wanted to join the Army for? Your experience in any branch will vastly differ based on your job choice.
>>64760625Nothing particularly. I do like outdoors and shooting, but it may be better to keep my hobbies separate from work so I don't grow to hate them. Airborne sounded cool but I hear airborne units drink a lot of kool aid. I just wish to become a more hardened individual. I never really grew up. Enlisting kinda late. 26
>>64760635Couple options. 1) say fuck it and go for infantry or a SOF contract. Upside: get to do cool things, become mentally and physically tougher, gain a healthy aversion to bullshit. Downside: physically and mentally demanding, lots of bullshit, mileage varies significantly, chance of dying horribly in wartime.2) choose a cushy job that will set you up post-service. best picks are single source intel in either branch (SIGINT/HUMINT/GEOINT) due to high chances of working with government agencies and networking well. Upsides: experience and qualifications, opportunities for post service careers if you play your cards right, less bullshit and physical stress than combat arms. Downsides: peers might all be annoying thin skinned reddit fags, lower chances of doing cool stuff or blowing things up, infantry dudes will call you a POG3) take a good hard look at your life and come up with another way to "grow up" besides signing away 3+ years to the military
>>64760609Just curious, what are the BEST jobs in the Marine Corps?
I just got a high paying job and in celebration I'm going to update my arsenal. Pls give input on my choices for these roles and let me know if there's something better:>Ruger SFAR as main DMR rifle, open to other short receiver .308 ARs or a .308 bullpup>M&P9 or 10mm Witness as handgun, I do live in grizzly country and this will be my primary HD/clearing gun>Kel Tec RDB as building clearing/HD rifle>KSG as HD shotgun>Mossberg Aftershock as drone gun to be worn on a scabbard, can also double as bear gun with slugs>300WM rifle as sniper (undecided but either a cheapo Savage bolty or go all in and get a Desert Tech SRS for $6k)Already have my carry guns set and most of the common rifles for range funs but want specific ones that best fill those roles. What are your go-to's?
>>64751010bonus points if he puts any of this on his cards and doesn't pay them off in the same month.
>>64758463This board is full of poor zogged trannies. That's not even 10k worth of guns (that's not a lot of money). I'm not even getting the $6k SRS, it just doesn't seem to justify the cost. Gonna go with a CZ600 in 300WM.
>>6475866410k might notbe life changing or anything but is an amount of money people would pragmatcally spend towards a car or home improvement projects. Not toys which is what this thread is ostensibly about
>>64760567Theyre not toys they're action figures. How do you feel about me getting the WLVRN and it basically doing everything in those possible scenarios? Does even owning just one gun make it a toy? Aren't we all larping?
>>64760567That's not really the situation at hand though, is it? OP isn't someone who's living paycheck to paycheck and is suddenly given a 10k lump sum, he's someone who's presumably got their life sorted out and has achieved a bump in their steady salary on top of that. If he was happy with his life and wasn't struggling to pay the bills 6 months ago then it's perfectly reasonable to spend some money a bit liberally now. If his car was fine before his pay went up, then there's no reason to suddenly buy a new one. On the other hand, as someone whose salary has gone up by more than 10k per year for the last 10 years, OP, I implore you to put a sizeable portion of your newfound income toward some sensible investments. If you're expecting your salary to continue increasing then it's very easy to say to yourself something along the lines of "the 5, 10 or 15k I could afford to invest now won't really make a noticeable difference compared to my future earnings so I might as well spend it all", then you hit 30 and realize you've got an income of 200k but no real wealth to speak of.

>>64760362Aren't they an oil producing nation?
>>64760494Its funny that while they are, they've had to import oil to make up for internal shortages. Such is life when you become communist.
>>64760494>>64760546isn't their oil shitty tier, heavy oil something like that
>>64760555Yes but a lot of their problems are because they can't keep the infrastructure maintained. They kicked out oil corps and nationalized the industry but couldn't afford to keep it all going
>>64760380The fact they could afford a state funeral at all is nothing short of a miracle. They are so broke that they can't even afford to keep the lights on.

They're lying thirdies desperately trying to cope about being dunked on. The same thing as global south simping leftists attributing *any* anti socialist/communist to "muh CIA". MIGHT AND STRONG air defenses and warriors brushed aside by the Americans? It has to be because they used wonder weapons! A people rise up against a corrupt authoritarian ruler? CIA sponsored revolution! Its all cope

>>64757409Chevron and Halliburton aren't your "greatest ally", they ARE you. It's not your allies fault that your government wants to control the flow of energy to Europe and Asia, or that your friend wanted free college tuition.
AK General /akg/Chocolate Chip Chinese Chestrig Edition>Thread #2086Old thread here >>64704982
>>64760337Actually, fuck that 300blk Krink looks good. Since 300 only needs about an 8" barrel to get decent velocities, I might consider that. I want something short for innabuildings but even with a bullpup you need a 10+ inch barrel or it won't even clear the receiver.Didn't even know that option existed ty for the unintentional suggestion.

What gun would you use to take down a serial killer elephant?
>>64759325The other books get a little hard in the writer's self insert but it's still fun. The entire premise is interesting (peoplewith actualgun/explosive knowledge rolling up on cryptids with equipment instead of a flashlight and bible), and the writer knows his shit. Just don't get caught off guard by the werewolf sex.
>>64753299This.
>>64759312>>64759325I regret buying it, actually. I got the No.1 in .416 Rigby without realizing that's primarily a bolt action cartridge. I should have gotten a Ruger bolt gun or a CZ550 for the same money back then. Now those have been discontinued and the prices have gone insane. Or maybe a No.1 in a rimmed safari caliber. Although the No.1 isn't as slick as it looks. Inside the receiver is just rough cast metal.
>>64759607>Werewolf sexThat sounds gay as fuck, unless she's in human form I guess. Still not a fan of smut in my cool monster-hunting stories though. Thanks for the heads-up. Do you remember which book that was?
>>64753287I would keep sending it victims until it died from exhaustion.
Turns out I was wrong. idk where I read that Teddy liked peep sights, I know the one letter is about him buying a .22 with peep sights https://www.theodorerooseveltcenter.org/digital-library/o293878/it must have been for the Smithsonian African tripI'll post the other version of the letter in the next post but, it turns out he always used what are basically express sights with a u notch in the bottom with a ramped front bead. https://www.loc.gov/resource/mss38299.mss38299-363_0001_0271/?sp=106&r=0.447,0.157,0.595,0.233,0in his autobiography he specifically mentions drawing a bead on things, including an injun. he also straight up couldn't shoot for shit. He even admits he was a piss poor long range shot due to his shit eyes. eyes so she he couldn't get peeps to work. Peeps must still be the most accurate because every shooting competition that allows peeps but doesn't allow a scope has everyone using peeps over open sights. I wonder if he would use a red dot today or if his eyes were so shit he's seethe about the starburst
Here's the letter with the drawing along with a video of the rifle that the letter was abouthttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zSt9GmrVdSE

It's been talked to death why space fighters are impractical but let's say the stupid rich dictator of the third world asteroid colony is dead set on having his fighter jets in space. What would a "realistic" space fighter look like? What do you have to consider about space as a medium?
>>64760301Not just being a jet plane in space for starters I guess.Its a totally different environment, lack of gravity and needing to worry about radiating heat and the other rigors of the space environment.
>>64760301>fighters Are actually very practical, especially as drones.
>>64760301>realistic "fighter"A drone swarm control ship. The drones would have a bunch of missiles.>designate targets>upload to swarm>GTFO and let drones do their thingThat's what space fighters are going to be. A human telling a prelaunched and standby drone swarm to wake up, lock onto something, and do their job. They don't even need to look like atmospheric drones. You can pack missiles, terminal guidance, and reaction thrusters in a cylinder and have it sitting there in sleep mode with either a RTG or solar backup to keep it awake enough to receive a signal for years. Just launch a few more every so often to account for natural attrition.>but we want dogfights in spaceNever going to happen. Individual fighter craft engaging each other is ridiculous at exoatmospheric distances. It's going to be Macross missile spam forever.
>>64760503Couldn't fighters just participate in the missile spam instead of dogfighting?
Starting with this piece of shit. Any gun that gets a cracked frame within 20,000 rounds is an irredeemable hunk of absolute dogshit. That isn’t even a high round count for 9mm. Glock runs circles around beretta.
>>64754702In video games maybe.
>>64757452So go to bed, it’s a school night
>>64756812>>64756824>>64756831I'm a competition shooter. Worst case scenario, it breaks during a match and i get a shit score, but i can live with that.I'm just worried if i don't replace it, it will break smth that ISN'T 30$ to replace.Anyway from what you're saying i needn't worry too much

>>64747669Its interesting in that I've always seen jumbos using the flat welded front upper hull, where the extra armor lays flat. Having a flat plate over a round cast hull is not something I've seen before

Cool shot from Korea, feels sacrilegious scaling these down but I can't post them here otherwise
