@Mrgunsngear Not my platform, but we have FMS partners who are likely still using it. I would highly suggest we don’t broadcast ballistic test on aircraft armor.

@BunkerBoss_ apparently it's not used anymore. I wouldn't have asked otherwise.

Alright folks, I need a little help here as this one (aircraft armor) is not in my lane. I've acquired some obsolete (actually, I have 2 generations of obsolete versions that apparently go back to the early 90s...) CH-47 armor that has been replaced with newer/improved/lighter/better stuff. I looked up what this version it is rated to stop and couldn't find any answer outside of "rifle rounds" and other vague descriptions, presumably for OPSEC reasons. So... what should I bring out to shoot it with? Compared to Level IV body armor - it's way lighter by volume so I'm thinking 30 cal AP will go through? Just from handling it, I feel like something like 7N6/M855 might go through as well as it doesn't feel like it has anything to break up penetrator materials (could be wrong - I'll know when I shoot it I suppose...). Thoughts? #CH47 #helicopter #armor #ballistics

Before I go to work I want to tell you about a type of Soldier in the military that is near and dear to my heart. I have so many stories to tell about these folks but this one chokes me up to this day: I was testing to get my Expert Infantryman's Badge awhile back at Fort Benning. I had passed every event without failing thus far. The final event was the 12 mile ruck march and it had to be completed in 3 hours or less. Ruck marching was always easy for me. I used to pretty much run most of them in my career. But this time was different. I got VERY sick the day before after crawling through a creek during one of the testing events. I started off with the pack just fine. Then when the 6 mile mark came up, I felt like the transmission fell out of me. Before I knew it, I was alone in the dark and walking at a snails pace. I went through all of my water and food. Which was rare because I NEVER drank water before on a ruck. I was suffering. I was kind of out of it for awhile. I remember asking God for help. Suffering, out of breath, dizzy, asking for help. It was all silent and in my head, I never uttered the words out loud. Mere seconds (and I am not exaggerating) later a shady figure in uniform with his own ruck on approaches me from who knows where and says "Hey brother are you ok?" I obviously said no. He said "I'm with you, let's do this together, we've gotta move." I agreed, thankful that someone was helping me out. Also slightly embarrassed because I've never needed that before in that type of situation. I was always the one HELPING others. He gave me water, skittles, words of encouragement, you name it. He stayed with me for SIX MILES. Literally half the event. I usually finished my 12 mile rucks between 2 hours and 15 minutes to 2 hours and 30. I crossed the finish line at 2 hours 59 minutes and 57 seconds. I passed the event by 3 seconds... I was so out of it for about an hour after the event that when I finally came to my senses, I asked other Soldiers who I crossed the finish line with. They told me it was the Chaplain. I damn near broke down right there. One of the most emotional non-combat related moments of my career. I asked God for help in my head, a shadowy chaplain appears, and literally willed me to the finish line. I frantically looked for him to thank him. I couldn't find him. He just went off to help others like some kind of spiritual Roomba. Never asked for thanks or recognition, just did his job. To this day I still don't know his name. Chaplains are with us at our absolutely darkest moments. The best of them help in ways we can't put into words. I guess George Washington knew this, hence why he created their corps. There are some good and bad ones out there. But the good ones? They are the BEST of us.

@beinlibertarian If you’re going to dunk on @catturd2 at least man up and tag him.

If Massie wins the Presidential primary do you think Catturd will support the Democrats?

@usawtfm SM goes on leave then skips all appointments. Been there, done that. Denial approved.

"Leave interferes with plan of action for SMs bar to continued service."? Are you trying to make the Soldier sell leave since the ETS is next May? Putting in leave to knock out appointments isn't going to hurt the organization.

You won’t regret watching this clip I first listened to this truly prophetic speech decades ago, but I’ve thought about it countless times since then Neal A. Maxwell masterfully diagnosed the problems with our increasingly godless society

@GovernorKayIvey @seanmdav SHOCKED 😳 Absolutely shocked Grandma changed her mind.

Regarding our own pending redistricting litigation, I remain hopeful Alabama will receive a favorable outcome from the U.S. Supreme Court, which is why I am now calling a special session of the Alabama Legislature. #alpolitics

@willainsworthAL We all know Grandma Ivey would never allow this to happen. Red state with purple politicians.

Alabama Republicans control both U.S. Senate seats, all constitutional offices, every state judgeship, and have legislative supermajorities, so it makes perfect sense for us to hold every congressional seat, too. We are bright red state, and our congressional map should show it.

@bennyjohnson Grandma is horrible. Alabama is a red state with purple politicians.

Coward

@jerrycurld @UPS @FedEx is no better. Three missing packages in the last year. I live in small town no where so neighbors delivered the packages to me after being dropped off at one house 10 miles away.

In order to be fully American, you must possess a capacity for violence in the face of what aims to destroy your nation. Otherwise, you’re just a beneficiary. And you will never fully belong.

@infantrydort Follow the $$$$

What these “holy men” are calling for is a crusade in reverse. The land to be conquered is our own. I will not sit idly by and allow that to happen. I’m not alone. If I’m wrong, I’ll settle it on the back end with God Himself.

I’m unsure why this latest assault on the sovereignty of the West is now coming from the Catholic Church itself, but I find the hypocrisy concerning. Where was all this grandstanding when over 1,400 girls were groomed, raped, and trafficked by Pakistani gangs in Rotherham, UK (authorities and many Church voices stayed largely silent for years to avoid “racism” accusations? And that’s just one example. Something about these words from the 60 Minutes cardinals feels sinister to me. I’m not an authority on faith and never will be. But there’s something dark behind the words of these priests I can’t put my finger on. Like wolves wrapped in sheep’s clothing. This is not heaven, this is earth. We are under no obligation to hasten our own destruction. Unless of course their goal is to rush toward Armageddon. In that case just say it with your damn chest instead of shrouding your cowardice in virtue.

@KarluskaP Meet string + prism + light = Ohhhh Ahhhh

Wait What 👀

@infantrydort Army Aviation is not the Army. #AirCAV 

This is such bullsh*t. Do you know how far out of the way an Infantryman has to go to pull off that Kid Rock stunt? Fly boys get all the glory. If a Grunt shows up at his house, he's just looking homeless, hungry, and probably harmful. We're rabid when miserable.

@ASo1omons @WarPath2pt0 @Asst_to_the_RM They did me dirty, “You can submit that retirement packet and have it denied or just deploy with the unit. Choise is all yours.”

.@Asst_to_the_RM @WarPath2pt0 😂😂😂😂😂

They’re all just paid puppets.

The Strategic Petroleum Reserve was built so we’d never be caught flat-footed by a Middle East war. It took 30 years to fill. Then Biden drained it by half to buy an election.

@Mrgunsngear No law against looking stupid in purple shoes.

Just glanced at my IG feed (my mistake...) and apparently this clip of Andrew Tate shooting is what people are talking about. There's a few things I'd personally do a little differently technique wise but, as someone who sees a lot of people of all skill levels shoot, everything in the clip seems perfectly safe I hope he keeps training and improves his skills and confidence with firearms 👊🏽 I'm sure if he watched a video of me kickboxing he'd say he would do some things differently as well. Not everyone can be a pro level performer at all tasks I suppose but since this is the internet so I'll open it up to the comments.... 🍿 #LasVegas #AndrewTate #TopG #comments #opinions #shooting

@MAC_Arms @F530Josh @PeteHegseth Yeah NO! Current USG paint scheme reduces signature. Paint schemes like that is for show by countries that don’t ingage in combat.

@F530Josh @PeteHegseth I saw this one the other day.

Look, I'm being dead ass. We have the most expensive P2W military in the world, and our skin game is fucking whack. @PeteHegseth, I am formally requesting an upgrade for the U.S. Navy and U.S. Airforce's Battle Pass subscription. IF we're going to be toppling dictators every month in 2026, let's use that XP to unlock dope fighter jet skins.
