I think I'm in love. What kind of knife is that in the second pic.

I'm betting EB.L.S., or something like that. If you haven't already found out, that is.

I am not sure, but I think that is quite possibly the ugliest knife I've ever seen. What the hell is that thing designed for? Is that a Klingon knife of some crap like that?

Okay...
First of all, no one wants to know ANYTHING about the man in the photo.

Believe me when I say that you don't want to know what's on his mind....

Truly.

The knife in the photo is the Tiger. It's a Zombie killer designed for a video game. Sorry no more details on that. Other than if you want one give us a call.

Later

Thanks. I did some hunting through here and found out.

As for the Tiger it looks like a UUK with 'roid rage.

Hey there Chubby,
Before you start running your mouth about what the Air Force does and doesn't do, why don't you put your credentials out there for us all to see. You are right that most of the enlisted force in the Air Force would be considered REMF's in all the other services, but the helo guys are a different story all together. We might not be as gung ho as Marines, but I am every bit as professional and good at my job as any other helo guy in the world. Laugh if you want, but god help those that get between me and a downed airman, because no one else will be able to. Not many people would fly to Belgrade to get a pilot, but the "Chair Force" did it twice. Alone. Poke fun all you want, but at least give us something to poke back with. So, what's your hardcore story?

Hey Knifebomber,
I didnt mean to offend you or any of the Airmen out there. I'm just your average NROTC student waiting for his turn in the world. I know you guys are the best at some things and do your duty to the best of your abilities as well as everyone else and you get all my respect. It's just that some of the AFROTC people I know and live with have a friendly rivalry goin (resulting with holes in the wall), and I guess I shouldnt have brought that out here.
my apologies,
chubby
 
Hey midshipman Chubby,
I just wanted to reiterate what my esteemed colleague has stated. Regardless of service branch, we all have volunteered to serve our country. Even the most unpopular and unrecognized positions serve a purpose. Even officers serve some purpose, if one of them ever figures it out, I'm sure he'll tell us.
Now to clarify, an aerial gunner on an Air force rescue helo is a highspeed job. They definately go into harm's way. It takes more balls to hang out the door of a low, slow flying helo over enemy territory than you will ever know. Now I will be the first to crack on the Air Force, but when it comes to war they kill the same people I do. And I am in the service that reserves the right to crack on any others. I earned that right. Interservice rivalry comes from men who have served, not college boys playing grabass. If you want to call your fellow rotc homos names that's fine, but when you speak to Knife Bomber or other warriors in this forum, show your respect. Change you arrogant tune, or some chief will bury your cherry ass.

WOW, what a great company you have Mick! When I first read about your knives I learned that you make, no DEFINE tough with respect to real combat blades. I assumed that this meant us fighting each other. But no, Mick Strider and Strider knives makes Zombie killing knives too!

Man, I'm glad for 2 things. 1) the zombie problem hasn't hit my hometwon yet. And 2) I'm glad for Strider knives, for without them how would we fight zombies??


HA! Just kidding! Actually I just saw pics of your CQB line and I thought I'd better get back in here and see what's on the minds of the Strider forumites. Its a great read in here, and the pictures are awesome!

Okay boys, let's call off the dogs. You guys trade good natured interservice barbs all throughout this thread and then you're surprised when someone else jumps in on the fun. Yes, you've been there and done that, and in so doing have earned the right to poke fun at one another, but the mere fact that chubby is active in an ROTC unit, in my mind, automatically puts him ahead of the other 98% of the student body at his respective college or university. He may have a long way to go yet to truly prove himself, but at least he appears to be on the right track. In the meantime, let's try and show a little class to one who already apologized for his transgressions.

There is no interservice rivaly between us. We have had the unfortunate experience of meeting face to face and feel the need to bust each others balls a bit. Besides, he beat me out for the porn star gig.

Welcome to the Strider forum. The difference here is that a majority of the guys are real deal operators, and we all know each other through the various B.S. sessions at the Strider or S.O.E. shop. Welcome chubby, and I'm glad you have some esprit de corp with your branch of the service, and enjoy the sibling rivalry, but you are jumpin into a whole new world here.

Hey DB,
I'm still working on the day trip out your way. It is not for sure, but I'll do my best. My boss has agreed it is doable, but he has not agreed on a time to do it. More to follow.

I don't know if this is an enticement or not, but the Strider crew said they'll drive up if you guys fly down. That is always a party. I hope you guys can come down. If mid March is doable, we are hosting Trexpo, which is a flat out blast for new gear. Let me know.

Mr_Joshua,
I think if we ever met IRL, we'd get along real quick. I know what you mean 'bout ROTC grabastic mindgames, I live in the dorms. Crim major. Got a question for ya though. Going into USMC after I get my BS, I want to be a grunt officer 0300. What will help me prepare for what lies ahead, any advise will help.

Solid_Soldier,

The great thing about Marine officers is that they all go to OCS and TBS. Run as much as possible. Pull ups and running are the main physical requirements of the USMC and the officers are expected to be in the front. Swim alot also (breast stroke, side stroke) Read the Art of War (Sun Tzuh)(sp?), and the book of five rings (musashi). Anything you can read about leadership from a warriors standpoint. Another great book is Starship Troopers. The book stays away from the SciFi stuff the movie had and delves into great examples of NCO and Commissioned Officer leadership. I feel that the opening seen in Gladiator should be shown to all officers. The general rides in front of his men and then personally leads the most dangerous assault wave. We need more officers who are warriors, not politicians. If you are honorable and courageous your career will rise, and you won't have to kiss ass to do it.
Definately go grunt. The finest officers I have ever served with were infantry. It will prepare in a way that as you progress to other areas of the Marine Corps you will stand above the rest. Everything in the USMC is to support the grunts. Wars cannot be won without men on the ground with guns, and you will be a part of the modern worlds' most combat proven and effective infantry. Stay hard and motivated. I hope I was of some help.

Solid-Soldier,I just want to add my 2 cents, find a copy of Mc Brides, A Rifleman Went To War. If I'm not mistaken it's required reading for USMC Officers. Great book about warfare and the use of weapons and men.Good Luck.
 
Thank you, both of you.
It's been something I have always wanted to be, and the sad thing is, people can't understand why I would want to be a Marine. I'm looking forward to it, though MCRD is still 3 years away.
