I don't think we have the capability to make a contested landing. If we needed to capture a port or something we would have to figure out how to do it on the fly, because we don't even train for it.
This is seriously fucked situation. We have no plan and no doctrine. This is supposed to be USMCs primary responsibility.

USMC is borderline useless for their intended purpose, this has been known for quite some time. They are little more than a specials mission strike team, more agile than the bloated general Army.

Only if you want them to fuck it up
Currently they are just a second shitty army, guarrenteed to take twice as much casualties as the regular one, and take 3 times as long to do something.

>Since 1775, the U.S. Marine Corps has prided itself on being "The Few" and "The Proud." But while the Corps takes pride in doing more with less, senior Marine officers are warning that the Corps' aviation service is being stretched to the breaking point.
>Today, the vast majority of Marine Corps aircraft can't fly. The reasons behind the grounding of these aircraft include the toll of long wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, the fight against ISIS and budget cuts precluding the purchase of the parts needed to fix an aging fleet, according to dozens of Marines interviewed by Fox News at two air stations in the Carolinas this week.
>Out of 276 F/A-18 Hornet strike fighters in the Marine Corps inventory, only about 30% are ready to fly, according to statistics provided by the Corps. Similarly, only 42 of 147 heavy-lift CH-53E Super Stallion helicopters are airworthy.
>U.S. military spending has dropped from $691 billion in 2010 to $560 billion in 2015. The cuts came just as the planes were returning from 15 years of war, suffering from overuse and extreme wear and tear. Many highly trained mechanics in the aviation depots left for jobs in the private sector.
>The aircraft shortage means pilots spend less time in the air. "This last 30 days our average flight time per pilot was just over 4 hours," said Thomas. Ten years ago, Marine Corps pilots averaged between 25 and 30 hours in the air each month, according to one pilot. "This is the worst I've seen it," he added. Another pilot who asked to remain nameless told Fox News that Chinese and Russian pilots fly more hours each month than Marine Corps pilots.
30 PERCENT READY RATE
4 HOURS OF FLIGHT TIME

Bumping with another solid addition, if you're into those things. It's a CDV-700, an old Civil Defense geiger counter. Not up to snuff for modern industrial/defense use, but good enough for getting out of Dodge. Not to be confused with a CDV-717 or CDV-715, which are absolutely fucking useless in every way (short of full blown nuclear war).
>>
>>29899726
Any legit modern Geiger counter would have a "GM pancake probe", as pictured. That's a Ludlum Model 3 ratemeter with a Model 44-9 pancake probe. They are fucking expensive, and the probes break when dropped. But they work for all current purposes except neutrons.

so can we have a security guard thread?
what is some good gear to get?
what kind of baton is better ASP or side handle?

>>29896346
With ASP you get lifetime warranty and potential legal defense if someone sues you for using it on them. That should be covered in your state endorsed baton training, along with authorized techniques.
Good gear to get are S&W cuffs rather than shitty cheap cuffs, because the key is small enough to fit all other cuff keyholes. If you buy cheap handcuffs then the key won't fit in the smaller S&W cuff keyhole. So just buy a pair of Smiths.
Get nylon everything is my suggestion. Only buy what your post and state endorsed security level authorizes you to carry. And have a god damn small notebook and pen on you at all times for Christ sake, too many guards don't carry note taking gear. So their shit is inaccurate when they try to remember small insignificant stuff.
And you are not a cop. You're just a dude hired to call the cops and give them info, if necessary. Please don't forget that. I saged your thread.
>>
>>29896346
Safariland/Bianchi for pouches.
Defense Tech 1.3% or Fox Labs 2% for pepper spray.
If you're not getting into and out of cars all the time or running sprints then side handle all the way. Otherwise, steel ASP, not that Airweight bullshit that doesn't have enough weight to put the hurt out.
Comfortable shoes. If you're serious about work then make sure to spend at least $70 on comfy duty shoes.

"Real sorry about this, again" edition
Feel free to contribute your own humorous fictional (or real)) gun shop experiences.
FAQ
Q: Why are your stories shit?
A: I'm very, very sorry. I started doing these threads like a year ago, in which I told real stories. Eventually I ran out of good stories, so they became more and more fictionalized. At this point they are very low quality and completely insane.
Q: What's with the German Shepherds in your stories and why do they sometimes look like Golden Retrievers?
A: During one of the first of these threads I, or somebody else introduced a German Shepherd which simply barked, or was looking for .22lr. I can't remember, I was drunk.
Q: Why do gun shops hoard .22lr?
A: They don't, but customers do. Stores ration it out so more customers can get some and so it lasts longer.
Q: You're the reason gun shops are shitholes.
A: These stories are fictional, I was actually a very helpful employee when I worked the counter at big outdoors / camping type store. Also, that's not a question.
Q: Anon why do you drink so much? Is it PTSD?
A: Actually most of these threads are written sober.
Q: I don't like your threads / I don't think they're funny.
A: That's not a question.

Was also planning on dropping my gun into a fiberglass jungle stock. Does anyone have any experience with the jungle stocks? Did you have to do any fitting for yours?
The one problem with my gun is that it's a pain in the fucking ass to get the trigger group to snap back into the receiver bracket. I'm wondering if it's just poor stock fitting or what.
