Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By thatARMSguy: I grew up watching OIF/OEF combat footage and playing MW and MW2 and tend to gravitate towards that era of weaponry and gear, new stuff is interesting but there's a point where I feel everything just turns into form over function. I'm more than happy with a basic, no frills rifle that'll survive anything that you throw at it instead of the latest and greatest $5k AR and $9k optics and $40k NVGs Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By thatARMSguy: Originally Posted By 03RN: Originally Posted By thatARMSguy: Originally Posted By 03RN: https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/433221/IMG_20230903_143132_2_jpg-2942062.JPG I wonder if most people tend to stick to what they know. https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/433221/IMG_20230903_134230_jpg-2942186.JPG Way to make a dude feel old.

We were in JRTC training up for our upcoming deployment. We were "in the box" and had no tv's or radios and obviously, cell phones weren't as ubiquitous then so none of us had one. Our Chief called everyone together and was very very clear that this was NOT a training scenario. Someone had a radio so we were able to listen to the news that night, but it was a week before we were able to see any televised stuff. One of the guys in my squad had family that lived very close to ground zero and only found out about it during our meeting that morning.
One of my best Army friends was home on leave after AIT and was to fly out on the 11th, but he was too hungover and didn't make the flight. He would have been on one of the planes if he didn't sleep in. |

I ended up in Afghanistan in 2012 with soldiers whose parents had been there less than a decade before. One guy posed for a picture on Bagram at the air traffic control tower his dad posed for a picture at. |

Man, I sure feel old now. On 9/11 I was a Watch Commander (civilian) at a Navy Base. I was actually on the computer (ARFCOM) that morning when Lord Trader posted that a plane had hit the WTC. I thought it must have been a small plane or something. I saw on ARFCOM when the second plane hit and ran back to the Police Station and was there when the Pentagon got hit and we went into FPCON Delta. Evacuating the base of personnel and being in Delta for the next several days was surreal for sure. Only planes in the sky were USAF on missions.
The USMC was taking folks back in that had recently separated. I let my GF talk me out of it. Regret it to this day. |
