• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Stiz,
One the main changes was the introduction of the (long needed) "BEAST"...

These challenges include providing field security, using integrated fighting positions to protect the camp, knowing entry control procedures and performing tasks while undergoing simulated attacks

Wow... All we got to do in 1972 was put 70 rounds through an M-16 @ 100 yards.
Had 68 in a 5" circular pattern heart-center, one in the neck & one in the chin (hickup, literally).
Was surprised doing that well with the junky rifles they had with those little short barrels.
Was an NRA marksman before enlisting. Gimme a good ole .308 now & they're all within 2".

Different world now...

Hey Stiz,
When we USAF ground-pounders deploy, we spend a couple of weeks training at an Army base to get "up-to-speed" in certain tactics.

Hopefully,
The inclusion of "BEAST" in basic training will aleviate some of the additional training that's required...
