>>65354064No way, actually?
>>65354281yes, but it wasn't a high end thermal so things were a bit blurry at a distance so maybe that was the issue
>>65354599Yeah, I wouldn't worry about it.
>be on an OP watching over the donets river in the summer of 2022>no light polution, beyond dark out there>river is like 1.5km wide, so usually nothing ever happens>dick around on stag watching the stars and the flickering horizon while trying to make time pass>by now I can tell which sounds in the forest are caused by which animals.

All of our nods n shit are down at the OP if you head out over there we are gonna get killed before we even register the first gunshot coming toward us, cause they definitely have kit"<"then I'll go myself"He never did check it out. We just kind of waited and nothing happened again. We even checked the clock. Then I headed to sleep, woke for OP duty and prolly smoked kyivan kush once the sun came out and jacked my shit off. The nods at the op didnt have a helmet mount, so theres that too.
>>65354611>People on DMT report being able to see the "code" of the matrix when starting at a red laserThey're seeing the chink writing etched on the prisms/mirrors in the laser level being projected on the wall.
>>65355160Implessive
>>65350386Fippybippy :)
>>65354064>the "Y" in the YMCA dance That was just Trump
>>65354064Sounds like a black or other bear? Idk what else is big and stands.>>65354611Seriously though what's the deal with red lasers and that funky pattern they make? Grab a cheapo one, especially those ones from the 2000s. Shine that shit on a wall like 25' away and look at it.
I was about to bone my girlfriend out at the lake while wearing night vision, but suddenly she yelled, so I looked up and it was Bigfoot. Then I went back to bone her, but the mosquitoes were going crazy, and she said there was no way.
>>65354611>Dude let's get high as shit and stare into lasers!
>bring PVS14 with me on Fourth of July trip.>Get super drunk>after family is asleep, stumble across the freeway to big hill overlooking the town>climb very steep hill. >announcing my presence often in case someone is sleeping up there. "Don't shoot me, please.">finally get to top of hill and look out>nothing scary happens, go home, half fall half walk down hillI guess I would be what was scary out there unless there were mountain lions.I did get spooked at the bottom and start running back home
>>65350302There was a geuine incident involving a squad that wa son excerise in a wood in Poland with mass graves and they started seeting women and kids and old people just under NV one person was killed by a soldier freaking out and opening fire and another guy got locked up in a nut house. They got disorientated and were found the next day just curled up together out of their minds with fear and panic.The whole area is out of bounds for exercises now, it's near a new military base near the border. Troops involved were American but the Poles have mined the whole area and fenced it off now..It's been posted aout a few times now.
>>65350386>get on the floor>open the door>do the dinosaurDo you guys really not remember how it goes anymore?So you guys really
>>65360580Imperfections are the point
>>65360920It would be different if it was incorporated in the text but just incorrectly quoting the lyrics makes it sound ignorant.
>>65361322So you don't have any stories?
>>65350302>finally get cheap night vision>can look into the backyards of the whole neighborhood at night>something like 2 AM>drunk>NODs on>giggling like a retard staring at grass through nods>see something with glowing eyes>ohshitgetgun.jpg>whip my head around and smash my face into the wall>nearly knock myself out>night vision completely fucked>nose is bleeding>look outside>it's my neighbors fuckass dogpretty fucking spoopy to be out a thousand bucks due to being a retard
>>65362389One time I was walking in the woods with my night vision and I walked into moot and after we both got up because we fell down when I walked into him he said "is trolling art" then turned the oven to 360 degrees. I realized that you can't see where you're going when moonwalking in the woods even with night vision.
>>65355061larp post.
>Someone wind up on cook .gov PSD team, Issued PVS-21’s (2006) with helmet mount and catchers mask. >When we worked mids we were solo so early morning hours I’d drive around DC with them for fun and practice. >Got some funny looks from USCP, but I’d nod and wave. I am excessive number of antennae on the Vic so they figured it was legit. >Sadly government wanted them back when I left.
>>65363485What's the deal with the (modern) fullsize Dymo label printer?
>>65366000When we got our new 416D, there was no sweeter sight than the sorry guys having dutifully labeled each of ours. Plus I label all kinds of shit.
>>65366317Ah, I see. I guess thinking about it that kind of stuff did and still does have printed labels on everything. FWIW I like the old embossed thick plastic Dymo labels. When they stick, they REALLY stick. They also like to get under fingernails when the corner peels. But they look cool. Thickness does make them prone to catching, but surface prep means some of my labels stuck so well that black residue was left behind upon intentional removal, LOL.
>>65354037Yes. "Raped" to death by a pack of wild niggers too. Very sad. We can take comfort in the fact that several witnesses to the "rape" said he "seemed to be really enjoying it" and "it reminded me of someone riding a bull with the way he was chasing all those nigger dicks".
>>65354064Someone wouldn't just go on the internet and tell lies? Would they? There's no way.
>>65350302Got raped whilst using my night vision
>>65360580Thanks for the history lesson unc
>>65355061>1.5kmTHE METRIC SYSTEM IS FOR FAGGOTS. AND EUROPEANS. ALTHOUGH THEY ARE THE SAME THING. FAGGOT-ASS METRIC SYSTEM
>>65370091>The United States officially defines its customary units of length and weight through precise metric equivalents, a standard established by the Mendenhall Order of 1893 and refined by the International Yard and Pound Agreement of 1959.you are, like the russians, gay with a coat of paint on it
>>65363414Nope, I was there
>>65370091Which part of "europe" did you miss from that text?
one time i thought i broke my pvs14
>>65370899It's just a reminder. There's no need to have "missed" anything.
>>65370919>than that if other colorsESL go home
>>65350302>somewhere central Wisconsin>camping with some lads>set night guard rotations>my shift 0000-0200>dark as fuck>hear some rustling not far off>know it's just some wildlife>grab PVS14>squirrels literally all over the place fucking>let my battle know that I see some thing not far off and to grab thermals to confirm>takes a look>solid 10 seconds of us looking in silence >battle asks me if I seriously made him grab thermals to watch some rodents fuck>yesGood times.
>>65350302Not scary, but riding an ATV in the desert with your Soviet night vision on during new years as the fireworks are going off and it lights up the ground like white phosphorous was a great experience.
>>65370919>>65354611I wish I had some red ones.
What’s the cheapest gen 2 setup I could buy?
>>65350302>get sent to bumfuck nowhere east Africa >innatower watching camp perimeter while the sun goes down, on the lookout for skinnies>other dude in the tower says he sees something in the treeline so grab pvs14>too far out for the IR to illuminate the area, whip out fancy thermals >heard there were some big cats in the area but figured it was all bs to keep patrols on our toes>peek through thermals and see the outline of a big fucking cat looking our way then slowly slinks back into the bush>call the control center to tell our perimeter patrols about a lion or some shit out in the bush >everyone now thinks we were in on fucking with them about big cats being in the areanot very 2spooki but I don't think anyone wants to run into that shitpic related is the tower
>>65372147Manda Bay? Or maybe one of those even shittier spots in Somalia but I don't remember them having so many trees.
>>65373154this was way before the attack in 2020 though so the tree line was a lot closer to the perimeter fence, after all that went down I heard they cut down a fuck ton of trees
>>65350302Spoopiest thing that I ever saw through NVGs was something that couldn't be seen through NVGs, or thermals, or with the naked eye. I've told the story before and it's been greentexted. Maybe someone will post it. I really don't feel like typing it up anymore.
>>65375397Did you move your gut aside and find your dick?
>>65374828I was there in 18-19 so that's the same treeline. It was a lovely little paradise back then, vacation from my real job on lemmonier.
