  • I say this literally wearing a pair of Underarmor Cargo pants - things marketed as tactical are cringe. I keep an Arktis pack jacket in my car in case of rain alongside an e-tool.

    Anyone who can’t stand to carry the Minnie Mouse shoulder bag full of diapers is a total loser. If you buy anything ‘tactical’ to assert your ‘manhood’ you only further prove it only took you 20 seconds to do your part of the work for making the baby.














  • This was a while back, so not the last time but probably one of my biggest wtfs.

    Anyway, In Iraq, in a tower surrounded by sandbag and hesco walls. The night guard shifts kept pissing in bottles and tossing it over the walls instead of just pissing anywhere else or just throwing the piss bottles in the trash so at the change over the Sergeant of the Guard said that we had to make the guys getting relieved stand by because they’re gonna have to go clean all that up. Mind you this is outside of the wire in Iraq - not that it’s particularly dangerous but we were still getting bombed nightly. Anyway, I rock up to the tower and let them know to standby and the SOG rolls up behind me and tells them what’s up.

    I kid you not, this dude looks at him and says “Can we at least downgrade our gear?” You could probably hear my laughter across the whole FOB. He just said “Can I take off my vest and helmet before I head out of the wire?”

    I shouted down “I can cover you but that won’t stop any rounds that come your way,” and the SOG just said “What? No, fuck, are you kidding?”

    Then I baked in the 100+°F sun while I watched adults pick up piss bottles in the desert.




  • I’d give for free if they gave it for free. They rip people off for the stuff I freely gave? No, I’ll take a few bucks out of their profit, thanks.

    Besides, I usually can’t donate anyway but I give that shit all the time when I can. Especially when I know where it’s being used (for free.)
