We figured out that he lies a lot, so we would entice him on purpose to tell us stories about wild parites, hot girls he had, and strong guys he beat up so we can laugh at it later LOL

On one occassion he said he cut down a smaller tree with his cheap tacticool switchblade and it was still sharp, he also added that I'm an idiot for buying Cold Steel, so I challenged him to test 20 of his knives against my 2 Cold Steel fixed blades, loser has to pay a lunch or drink.
He said that he accepts the challenge but he never actually did it LOL
 
What is it with these guys?

When I was working 3rd shift in a production plant several years ago (just so you have an idea of the domain of the creature I'm about to reveal to you) this temp worker showed up one day. He was like maybe not even 20 yet. I'm a pretty, hip young cat, so he was comfortable talking to me. And of course bragging to me. I learned that he was a wrestler and, with his eyes and veins bursting out of his face went on some crazy open verbal fantasy about how he would like, jump off the balcony of the 2nd story of the machinery, (15 feet? steel and concrete) and drop kick some other operator. Among other things.

I believe it was the following night that he challenged this other cat, a cool black dude who had no time for this shit , to a WRESTLING match (basically a fight), outside in the parking lot.

I still remember seeing that kid laying there on the ground screaming about his neck and that he couldn't move.

OMG lol that's a crazy one :D
My favourite part is the fact he was screaming :D

If they have to fight other people to prove something to themself or feel worthy, then they probably have some issues.

I once saw a random chubby guy challenge bouncers in a night club... they dealed with him easily and carried him out :D

Sounds like people that PAY for those “tactical shooting” classes. Then wonder why “I just F’ing shot myself!”
If you want a good laugh search Tactical class on YT.
**I guess I should add- 7 years in the Army (19k) I never ever once had a “tactical class”! Just sayin’

All the tacticool shooting on youtube is funny. My favorite thing is how EVERY single video has the same shot, close up of dude in tacticool gear shooting "mag dumps". They never show you the target though (a berm 5 feet away most likely).....:rolleyes:
I actually got to take some shooting courses with real operators when I was in the Army (just lucky because I was stationed near them) and we didnt do any of that tactical BS on youtube. It was mostly just the fundamentals of shooting, moving and communicating. Boring, simple stuff that doesnt sell classes I guess. The people who actually know what theyre doing dont need to show off in my experience.
P.S. I never met anyone who wasnt a brand new private who carried a ridiclous fighting knife. Prettymuch everyone I ever met in the military carried a normal pocket knife or Leatherman. MAYBE a basic fixed blade in the field but no zombie stabbers.
P.P.S. These tactical range ninjas give us regular, non badass gun owners a bad image :( it really sucks.

Yep, those classes are for suburbanite middle and upper middle class men who have a very interesting fantasy about special operations military combat and want to live that out on a shooting range. You see some of these guys at an outdoor range I used to frequent, showing up in all this tactical gear, plate carrier, drop leg holster, helmet, knee-pads, shemagh, covered in morale patches, running a $3,500 tricked out range toy AR and $2,500 Taran Tacticooled up Glock 17, etc. Ask 'em how long they were in, and they're like "Oh no, I'm a lawyer." LOL Ok then.

Civilians attempting to learn military tactics always crack me up, because these classes never seem to tell them the truth. There are two ways the Army and Marines operate that a civilian never will:

- Bring an entire fireteam of guys with extensive rear echelon support (oh and backed up by other fireteams of guys)
- Your entire team puts overwhelming amounts of firepower on the target

Bonus round: Backup air support.

It's all military fantasy make-believe. WHICH IS FINE. But that's all it is. Youtube (and Instagram) gun culture is pretty hilarious, full of dudes with big operator beards, at least one full-sleeve, black Grunt-Style *tee-shirt, gun belt, and multiple mag dumps per video. It's fun, until people take it too seriously.


* Or their own clearly-ripped-off-from-Gruntstyle "brand"

Haha you nailed it. :thumbsup: its all good fun, until you take it too seriously. I also enjoy the related, "Tapout shirt wearing UFC fan who thinks they can fight because they watch UFC". Thats like thinking I can throw a 90mph fastball because I watched a baseball game. :rolleyes: Everybody needs a hobby I guess.

Heh, yeah. I know quite a few folks who have served, more than a few 11Bs, and they always laugh when we talk about that stuff. "So wait, people think they're learning what WE learned? What are they learning, how to mop the motor pool pad in the rain, vacuum up the field in front of the BOQ for being late again, and training with tired, shot-out weapons? If the answer's no, then no, they're not learning what we learned." LOL

Lol yup. I was an 11B, and I learned how to run my "tactical weapon system"(mop). Or broom. I can "operate" a broom. I can sweep a floor with the best of them.
Real life just isnt as exciting as internet life I guess.
 
I went through training and I worked as security too.

It was very simple load, point, shoot type of training we had.

They focused most of our training on self defense and bare handed fighting.
I did had some martial arts experience before that, so I know some things very well.

1. It's best to avoid to fighting
2. If you think you can escape - run
3. If you won't be able to escape then it's better not to run, since you can't either fight or defend yourself from your back
4. Every fight is a risk
5. You might get killed
6. Missing teeth, concussion or broken bones aren't fun
7. Even if you win the fight you'll still end up on court
 
Too many fatherless guys growing up in single-mother homes playing call of duty = tacticool bros when they get older.
 
Believe it or not we worked with a pile of “special forces” in several countries. They hate to walk just like the tankers. They loved us because we always had fresh, cold water. :D
