Anyone into LARPing?

[Stomper]

Once during a FTX...
We weren't issued blanks for whatever reason ...
Anyways....
My platoon was given the classic order to :
" Men , take that hill ! "

So there we were ....
In the hot sun charging up that hill doing all that good old Infantry "fire and maneuver " stuff...
All the while yelling : Bang , Bang....I swear I remember our 60 gunner yelling : "Budda , Budda , Budda "...
Just like in an old Sgt. Rock comic book.

Meanwhile the OPFOR troops were yelling back just as loudly...
Bang , Bang ...Boom...I got you...

When we got about to the middle of hill...we all kinda just said f#@K it...and stopped and started laughing...
A bunch of so called grown men yelling their fool heads off just like kids playing Army

Our Lieutenant did not like or appreciate our sense of irony...luckily our First Sergeant did ...

Did any of you say the official TRADOC, "cover me while I throw this grenade" phrase?

 

[Stomper]

A nerd with a Ranger Tab and a CIB among other things...so they kinda balance each other out....

Too true ...a First Sergeant was very much God on Earth.

I do remember , now that I am thinking on it...a Spec. 4 "diving on a thrown grenade"...in order to "save us all"...
Or to get out of going up that stupid hill....

Count your blessings you didn't have to clean the dirty carbon from shooting blanks through your weapons…. I usually gave most of my blanks to the dummies who liked to pop 'em off, then laugh at 'em cuz it took 'em 3-hrs to get their weapons clean enough before the armorer would accept it at weapons turn in. I learned that lesson the FIRST time.

I remember there first time I saw that acronym on this site I googled it too. Then I made the mistake of hitting the image search results.

Thanks a lot! I just had to look at the images!

Yes.

Oregon Senate passes bill to rein in paramilitary activity

The Senate on Saturday passed a bill that would clamp down on paramilitary activity and give law enforcement and private citizens tools to combat illegal intimidation, including through civil actions.

www.ijpr.org

"Under the proposal, unlawful paramilitary activity would be defined as three or more people who operate as a unit with a coordinated command structure. The group, armed with firearms, explosives or other weapons, would be considered a paramilitary organization if it publicly patrolled, held drills or engaged in activities that could injure or kill. The bill would apply to paramilitary activity regardless of ideology."

I think this applies to public spaces.

And the coup de grace will be the passage of M114 where you must ask permission from the crown to exercise your constitutional 2A right.

Well if it was me...and I was asked...
My answer would be :
"We are just practicing safe firearm handling."
