I always like how they wear full camo and the American flag in full color a lot of times as if to say "fuck you" and so you know exactly who is coming from your ass.

Is MARSOC using a new type of battery in their AN/PEQ?

Sorry about that.  The majority of MARSOC pics out there appear to be fakes.  I try to cull them out, but clearly I am no expert.

I don't get why they dress in normal clothes. I know to possibly blend in or not intimidate others. But dressing like a mid level office worker with grenades hanging on your thin leather belt, machine guns, communication gear just looks odd. I guess what I'm saying is its obvious they are .mil so why hinder themselves by wearing normal clothes?
No disrespect intended


Another question.
It looks like 4-5 guys per group. All look to be traveling light, but 1 in the group has a backpack in every picture, what's in the pack?

They're not always fully geared up and toting big guns.

As for the pack, my guess would be med gear.

If this question is uncouth or disrespectful, please correct me and I will delete it. Why would they wait so long to bury him?


Maybe, just a WAG here, that it is the date of the reporting and not the actual burial?

37 years, he went in when I was 5 years old.

Incredible journey. RIP, warrior

ETA:

It appears he was cremated after his return to the US and his family have his ashes entombed there. What an incredible Marine and Soldier, the more I read about him. "...that such men lived."

+1, oftentimes they're serving as advisors so it behooves them to maintain a more concealed posture.




I was kicking it at my buddies' house down the street from me. They're Raiders and their garage was overflowing with Mystery Ranch packs, Ops-Core buckets, Crye this, Eagle that, with just about everything in between. Most of that shit was still in the wrappers with the tags and lot numbers pinned on. I asked them what was up, why hadn't they used that shit. They basically told me what optimus said: "We're not always working in that type of posture."

I find a couple things interesting in the past few pages:



1. The return of woodland camo.



2. The pockets sewn onto the front of the pants. They look like riggers added them, not the factory.

1. Woodland is used because that is what the forces we are trainng are using.

Well fair enough, I reckon. But suppose it started pissing rain AFTER those troopers set everything up just for him. He pulls up in his fancy .gov Suburban all cozy and dry, rolls the window down and tells the lads to pack it up. His message to me would've been "Whatever y'all gotta tell me ain't important enough for me to get outta this 'Burban and get soaked like a drowned rat."




So I respect him for standing there in that deluge with those troopers without a jacket or even an umbrella. [shrugs]




YMMV.

Could of been a lot more behind the scene goings on the show then they aired that just made him look bad.

I don't get why they dress in normal clothes. I know to possibly blend in or not intimidate others. But dressing like a mid level office worker with grenades hanging on your thin leather belt, machine guns, communication gear just looks odd. I guess what I'm saying is its obvious they are .mil so why hinder themselves by wearing normal clothes?
No disrespect intended


Another question.
It looks like 4-5 guys per group. All look to be traveling light, but 1 in the group has a backpack in every picture, what's in the pack?


I believe it's a Mk 13. What you're seeing is a covering over the KAC suppressor.


the back pack is more than likely a medic kit.


I got confused on which picture set was quoted. I thought he quoted the SEAL pictures from the Navy promo

Alan Shumate, a Special Forces officer assigned to the U.S. Army Special Forces Command (Airborne) at Fort Bragg, N.C., speaks during a dive tower unveiling ceremony at the Special Forces Underwater Operations School Dec. 7, 2012 in Key West, Fla.

You are aware that you can mount a red dot sight almost anywhere on the rail and it will work as intended right?

Without getting to into this- say his M68 has a 1/2 MOA shift, with a 4 MOA dot. Is it going to be noticeable for the of shooting he is doing there?

What does Chapter 2 of FM 3-22.9 say about acceptable mounting of the M68 in relation to the RAS?

Well no, not going to make a difference for that type of shooting.  That isn't the only range he will shoot at.
