How much of a threat did their weapons pose to the Abrams? I imagine IED's were the biggest threat correct? How would an rpg do? Could it knock an abrams out or just disable it?

Never witnessed it. I've also never had a confirmed kill (as in, saw the person die). However, we did once level a building that we knew was being occupied by Taliban forces. Pretty sure they all died. However, I wasn't the gunner so I don't even think you could consider that 'me personally killing them', but whatever.

As for the rape? Eh. Never witnessed it, but it's safe to assume it happened. Rape, murder and plunder is as old as war itself.

Gaysecks? Nah, don't swing that way, /b/ro.

>>733032826

OP here.

To be honest, being in an Abrams guaranteed you safety in most cases.

For this fact alone: You're in a fucking tank. Anyone who sees you roll up is either shitting their britches or hiding.

But no, an RPG cannot harm an Abrams. IEDs arent usually a problem due to the fact combat engineers go ahead of us wherever we go.

Oh Ok I figured they'd be able to immobilize it if it hit the tracks or take out the gun/targeting, but wasnt sure if they'd actually be able to penetrate the armour on one. I was in the CAF but never saw combat so was a bit interested.

They have special shells that are painted orange. They've only got enough powder in them to get them a couple of hundred yards out of the barrel. The rest is hollow and the top of the shell unscrews.

At max the Abrams can go 45.

We got it to go 38, but that's just cause we were dicking around. It's kinda hard to make any vehicle go its absolute max speed when you're on dirt roads and it's full of bumps, hills, turns and potholes.

You don't accidentally mistype a 5 instead of a 9. It just doesn't happen. Never in my life have I accidentally put 13b instead of 11 b. You would know your mos.

You are a lying sack of shit, and I hope that you get called out for it in real life.

The USA welcomes foreigners to enlist. When I was at MEPS I met a woman by the name of Schenzky who was a Navy Chief (Cant remember her MOS), and she was from the Philippines.

I don't think the Marines would bar foreigners from enlisting.

This isnt a story I witnessed but a story from a friend in mine who served in Iraq.

His colonel wanted the guys in the town and villages to be kinder to the locals, and had the infantry and what not carry baskets of soccer balls in their humvees.

Well, they'd make the kids chase the humvees for miles before letting them have the balls.

Mostly because the local kids would throw rocks and shit at them, granted the US soldiers would always throw them back.

>>733036579

>>733036400
Who? Russia? No, the Russian system isn't based on the Israeli systems. The US partially fund the Israeli APS systems, on the condition that they not be shared with anyone else. Like all Russian military hardware, the T-16 will be deployed in very small numbers, and has been described with vastly exaggerated capabilities. Most of their tanks are low-end T-72 derivatives, and they cannot afford to replace them.

OP here.

Despite his attempts to stolen valor me, he isn't faking.

If I'm right, the 11b/c MOS deals with infantry. Directfire and some other shit. Can't remember. I think you're designated one of the two after enlistment.
>>
>>733036930
11b/c is Army Model. Guess again faggot!
>>
>>733036850
What the hell are you talking about? The 125mm gun on the Armata is no more powerful than the 120mm on the M-1. It has an autoloader that is theoretically fast, but they have NEVER been reliable. Our APFSDS rounds are much more effective, our sensors are better, our communications are more advanced, and we have better fire control systems. An Armata would be overmatched by an M-1.

11B is vanilla infantry, 11C is infantry that are also part of a mortar team (basically, an 11B that can do math).

OP Here
If you're going mechanic, I suggest picking 15T as your MOS.

You get to repair UH-60 (blackhawks) and even fly in them. You can also become crewchief of the chopper.

Besides combat engineer, that was actually my third choice.

As for getting deployed? That's just up to you. I'm not gunna say that's it'll be safe, cause it won't be. However, it's a fulfilling job.

And Case Closed.

in 2002 the armor school, which is where all 19 Series MOS training is done was not at FT Benning, It was at FT Knox.

FT Knox was the home of armor until 2010 when TRADOC moved the armor school to Benning so that all combat arms training would be conducted at the same post.

Also, the majority of your answers are complete bullshit. There is absolutely no way you were ever a tanker.
