Three guys one hammer. Essentially a video of three guys torturing and killing a fourth.

It's not really a "weird" as dead seal humping or cutting a pig in half, though.
THAT one is real, and it was VERY hard to watch. Too hard for me; I didn't really want to watch it in the first place, so I stopped very early on.

That's just a general idea. I think it'd be really cool. As for the perk/trait thing, what can I say, I've had hand-to-hand on the brain the last few weeks. I'm looking forward to Combatitives come Basic, no matter how much I'm going to get the shit kicked out of me.

Thanks! As I mentioned, I'm planning on Infantry. You were a Combat Medic, yes?

After the Army (yes, I'm actually planning seven years ahead) I'm planning on Police or Security (not Blackjack. Maybe Blackjack.) though I'm good with any job, really. As long as I can afford Internet, guns, and chowder (and the free time to enjoy them) I'll be a happy man.

No problem, and good work on choosing best line of duty. Infantry is so much better than Artillery or Cavalry (especially Cav... just don't tell my grandpa, other grandpa, uncle and 2 cousins I said that).
And yup, still am. Love my job.

There's a guy that lives down my street who was a Combat Engineer with the 101st. He's a really cool guy to talk to, actually.

Anywho, that was my idea for The Kingdom. I thought I'd share

My family is completely against me going into the service, especially my grandfather, a demolition expert from the Korean war era I think. Said something about having to be too aggressive. I think I'll still enlist because college scares me.

College sucks.

If you do the military, do a deployment and when you get home jump into school. I know I just said it sucks, but just accept that without a degree nobody will fucking hire anymore because real-world experience apparently doesn't matter. Besides, the military will pay for it after you deploy, pay for your books, AND pay you for rent each month (even if you don't pay rent Spike )


Also: NEVER VOLUNTEER TO DEPLOY. I swear to god I'm on somebody's list now, because any time a new deployment comes up in CO I get a phonecall asking if I can go.

That's pretty much the same argument I made to my family. Yeah, it's gonna be difficult at times but it will help set things up for me later. I'll hopefully be working with Frost afterwards.

It's more of a polite suggestion.
"Hey, X unit is deploying this May. They have an open medic slot, and your skills will be a great asset to us. Your reviews are all fantastic, and I know we will greatly benefit from your assistance on this mission. Do you need time to talk with your family before making your decision, or can I count you in?"

Or, in the case of last time I was 'asked' to deploy... I answered the phone one day:

"Hey, how's it goin'?"

"Goin' great, how're you man?"

"I'm great. Just looking over your deployment packet. I didn't know you were going with X unit this year."

"You didn't? That's interesting, because I didn't know I was either!"

"Oh? Well you are."

Thank god the mission got cancelled.

Oh, I can get around that. It'll mostly involve making them not even want me anymore

Officer: "Hey, we're about to deploy, you in?"
Me: "Will there be fighting?"
Officer: "It's likely, but-"
Me: "BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD"

In all seriousness, when you mention "Deployments" are you talking the whole two-years-in-a-sandbox thing? Or "only" a few months?

@Frost: The army doesn't do 2 years anymore. That wastes too much money because they have to give you vacation. Instead, they deploy you for 9 months without any time off. Then after you've been home for 2 or 3 months you'll get a call about another deployment and be 'asked' to go along. Welcome to the chain.

That doesn't apply to if you get put in my wonderful deployment as a Combat Advisor: You get to spend around 1 year away from home without vacation despite what the military regulation says, because there aren't enough of you to rotate onto leave.

Those are real deployments.

If you ever hear somebody say "I went to Kuwait for a 2 month deployment", punch them in the mouth and tell them to shut up. That's a mandatory vacation.

@Camo: So it's kind of a 9-10 months on, 2-3 months off sort of thing, correct?

Also, does anyone here have any experience with martial arts such as Krav Maga? I'd be really interested in taking classes somewhere

Sorry, I missed this.

I deployed with a guy that used to be an instructor for Krav Maga. The classes are... interesting. They don't really work on 'skills' like other martial arts. They basically put you in a scenario and say fight your way out.

Normally not win-win situations either. I think one is where they tell you to turn around, and as soon as you do there are 3 guys running at you and you have to somehow win the fight.

From what I've come to understand, it emphasizes efficiency, utilization of anything and everything at your disposal, and disarming and incapacitating (probably not actually killing, but it's a possibility for high-level) your opponent.

Actually, it's different in that way; it was created specifically to either kill or brutally maim if you can't kill them.

That's what I was thinking, to be honest. I just didn't want to overstate, so I erred on the side of understatement.

Anyway, I know I've mentioned several times my passion for guns, gun-like things, and anything having vaguely to do with firearms. However, I think we should all take a moment in appreciation for the underrated, hard-working bits of metal that let you eviscerate people as you stare into their eyes.
