I bought my SSgt some massage oil, sexy dice, and a card - female Marine ruined everything

Many moons ago when I was awaiting dropping into the schoolhouse we had a few months of boredom (obviously).

So we were out in town one day at the Jville mall and I see some sexy dice at some random store. One of those like “lick” or some verb on one die and “nipple” or some other noun on the other.

For some reason I got to thinking that it would be fun to prank SSgt with these, but I didn’t quite know how at the time.

When I got back to base I was buying some cigarettes and found some floral massage oil, a little gift bag, and a romantic card and it all hit me. I wrote something about wanting to surprise him on Friday and to wait for another card. Then I put it all in the gift bag and put it on his truck early one morning before formation.

The rest of the week he was showing off about how he was gonna get some and how he had a secret admirer and he was the shit and bitches loved him.

He was doing little dances in formation like he really thought he was some sexy motherfucker. He kept saying things like “you bitches are gonna be stuck here while I’m out with a fine woman!”

This dude was so excited that he said we would be getting dismissed early on Friday so he could get some.

So Friday morning comes around and everyone is all excited to just clean the squad bays and then get dismissed for a little extra libbo.

As I’m cleaning duty comes up and tells me staff sergeant wants to see me.

I go up to the office and all of the gift back is on his desk and he’s looking real pissed off, sitting in his chair with his hands in front of his face, fingers touching the opposite hand’s fingers.

He asked if I had anything to do with this. I probably had a shit eating grin on my face as I said something unconvincingly like “with what staff sergeant?” Then he tells me lance corporal (female marine) saw me buying the oil and the bag and the card at the MCX and ratted me out.

So I had to tell him it was a prank that I didn’t think much of but I couldn’t say anything once it started escalating.

Then he had everyone stop field day and gather around in formation, where he announced that instead of cleaning and going on libbo, we would have no libbo at all that weekend and would clean all weekend instead, and it was my fault for pranking him, and that it probably wasn’t a prank and I was his secret admirer. 😂

Many people were pissed that I fucked up their weekend, but many more came to tell me that it was worth it and how funny it was to see SSgt hyping himself up all week.

HK needs to remake the entire USP line but optics ready.

No other changes- just optics ready.

And also they can skip making the .40 cal ones.

Circle 10 Mags Smell so Good

I can’t exactly describe it but it brings back so many memories. It smells like an armory, or an engine room, or a missile prototype production line, or submarine turbine test center. A combination of the above maybe.

Metal and oil, but not like basic machine shop. Smells like heavy duty metal and oil. It smells like industry to me.

I want to buy more just for the smell.

Will these holes make my gun loud when suppressed?

I read that the gas tube holes make it so the galil is still super loud when suppressed. True? Not true? Anything I can do about it?

Are these good for my Galil Age G2?

Found them at the local range

Figured I’d try something other than p mag

Kind of crazy to see the NFA defeated just 1 week from the Ruby Ridge anniversary

RIP Weavers

USP Tactical 45 is the best CCW

Pretty much the same size as a Glock 43X but you get 12 rounds of the lord’s caliber

What is this pouch intended for?

The UTL box doesn’t fit so I’m guessing box of 20 rounds of ammo?

Will 0% service connected knee strain be enough of a nexus for more serious issues?

Almost 20 years ago I got both knees rated at 0% for “knee strain”.

They have gotten quite a bit worse. They buckle sometimes while walking, causing me to fall or nearly fall if I don’t catch myself.

I’m seeing a private doctor tomorrow for X-rays and I think they will likely prescribe a brace for both knees.

My knees hurt quite a bit pretty frequently and I have to lay down and stop moving them.

Will this be enough service connection to get rated for the more serious issues, or is “knee strain” irrelevant to the current issues?

Galil Ace Gen 2 - plastic delete and ADM lowpeo QD mount

Picked up a KNS plastic delete kit with the MOE grip and an ADM low pro QD mount for my AEMS Pro X2.

I’m planning to get the barrel cut after I get my suppressor and KNS gas system

New gun - where can I get the barrel cut?

Ordered the KNS plastic delete kit and an American Defense low profile QD mound for the AEMS Pro dot.

IWI has a rebate for a free suppressor but I paid ~300 to upgrade it to the IWS7Ti - I just got the gun this week so I’m not sure how long it will take to get the suppressor, but I’ll be ordering the KNS gas system too.

I’d like to get the barrel cut down 3” or so - are there any widely reputable shops I could send it to?

RMR or DPP for Staccato C2?

I ordered a staccato C2 and I’m trying to decide which optic to get. I’m between the Trijicon RMR and the Leupold Deltapoint Pro.

Any thoughts between the two?

Primary use will be EDC while using it to get into some local IDPA or USPSA.

(I’m aware of the advantages of a closed emitter and carry a Holosun EPS carry on my two current carry guns, but am looking at the RMR or DPP for this gun)

Anyone Compete with a Staccato C2?

I’ve been wanting to get into competition a bit but I know it won’t be able to be a main hobby.

I’ve been searching for guns and just ordered the Staccato C2.

I wanted something that would make sense as a carry gun but also let me compete with it so that I’m more proficient with my carry that is also fun.

Right now I mostly carry a Glock 43x and I didn’t really want to compete with that.

So, does anyone compete with the C2? How is it? I’m obviously not expecting to win, but from what I’ve read I shouldn’t be at a major disadvantage and I’ll have a great carry gun.

Which gun for competition-ish?

I want to try shooting some USPSA or something (I shot IPSC a long long time ago for a short while so I consider myself very new to competition again).

I almost got a CZ shadow 2 yesterday but then I started thinking “what if I fall out of it again?” And “What if I don’t like it?”

So now I kind of don’t want a dedicated competition gun like the shadow 2.

I do want something I can shoot some competitions with for fun, but that I will be equally happy to carry even just part time.

I’m kind of thinking maybe a Staccato P with a Trijicon RMR?

They are pricey though. Would a Springfield prodigy be a good gun, or will I regret not getting something better?

The Sig GT4 came up but it seems really heavy.

I’m leaning towards a 2011 platform obviously but I’m open to other ideas that will keep it around or below $3k. I’ve even thought of maybe another HK VP9 and dedicating that to competition or even a Glock 17 gen 6 with a bunch of parts thrown at it.
