Damn, one of my buddies is 101st Airborne and he STILL hasn't gotten his plate carrier!

@allenhane We re not savages, so we DO need that pen pocket. We sign more pprworc than rounds fired at the range lol,...

[UBCSWraith]

@archiaskcommando Yes, he got it later on in his deployment. He got it around the same time he got his Multicam uniforms and gear.

[alldayinfantry1]

continue playing with your BODY ARMOR THAT YOU WILL NEVER USE. I CAN SEE THAT COLLEGE IS TEACHING YOU WELL. HMM buy some shit I don;t need great IDEA. hahaha your a fucking joke. I ALMOST WISH YOU WERE ONE OF MY SOLDIERS BUT THEN AGAIN I DON'T HAVE TIME TO TEACH GUYS THAT HAVE EXCUSES FOR BULLSHIT.

[alldayinfantry1]

@Vietboy1st the new army today are you fucking kidding me this is a new soldier he has been in the army for less than a year so don't tell me shit about the army. I see guy coming in all the time on medical waivers. So how about you shut your fucking mouth. I am glad they DQ you the Army does not need soldiers like you. But they are your bullshit excuses so you can keep them we don't need them. So how about you shut your fucking mouth about shit you have no need worrying about.

[Vietboy1st]

@alldayinfantry1 dude, you know nothing about the new army standard today. Back than if i could have gone to the Army if i really wanted to go. But iraq war is a bullshit war. But now We are focusing in Afghanistan and i wanna join. And i passed my Asvab and went to the physical test. I failed the hearing test on the right ear. And they DQ me and the Army recruiting command didn't want to give me a medical waiver to join . So i am in college now.

[alldayinfantry1]

@Vietboy1st I have heard all the bullshit reasons why people are not in. The funny thing is I have a soldier who got in the army and guess what they gave him a hearing aide so um your bullshit about not being able to hear all that well holds no water in my glass. But you say what ever you need to say in order to make yourself feel good about why you didn't enlist. And congratulations on having gear you will never use.

[Vietboy1st]

@alldayinfantry1 oohh Sorry man. I don't know about combat much but i own real body armor also, i have point blank IBA fully plated. and Eagle industries body armor here also. But i hate it Due to the weight of it. So yeah. :) I tried to sign up for the military but they denied me due to i lost a bit hearing on my right ear But i am not deaf.

[alldayinfantry1]

But please by all means continue to play your air soft and paint ball games while soldiers continue to deploy and lose their lives while you make dumb ass comments about shit you have no clue about. This is what pisses me off.

[alldayinfantry1]

@Vietboy1st No i don't believe in PTSD. It is dumb ass comments that piss me off. But i doubt you would understand because you made a stupid ass comment. About something you probably have no reason or purpose to be commenting about. Soldiers are going to die period, at least we should be able to do our job's as Infantrymen or what ever the MOS is without all the extra bullshit. But i like how congress knows what is best for us while they sit on their fat asses.

[Vietboy1st]

@alldayinfantry1 what is your problem ? don't tell me the PTSD.. bullshit.. what are you so pissed about my comment ? I didn't say shit about the army. I was giving an pinion on the vest.
