I was hoping for a little information here guys. I want to become a PJ in the reserves. However me not being a citizen means I cannot yet get secret clearance meaning no PJ.
What enlisted roles in the reserved will give me a good level of training and knowledge of medicine and medical work so as to put me in good stead for when I get my citizenship and go for Pararescue?
I know there is a /meg/ thread already but that shit seems to roll so fast getting an answer is like bobbing for apples.
Also shameless self bump to a trailer for a new documentary following US Army air medics.

There's nothing in the civilian world that will prep you for the medical training in the PJ pipeline.
EMT only allows a person to do VERY limited interventions due to the laws. Basically all you can do is tourniquet, wrap bandages, epipen, ventilate, and suggest the usage of certain medications.
An EMT isn't even legally allowed to start an IV, for instance.
So, the only preparing you ought to do in the civilian side is physical fitness. Get great at swimming, like stupid good. Running, obstacle courses, etc. Meet all the PT requirements and pass them.
If you're really serious about it, you only need a couple of months of consistent hard ass physical training and the right mindset.
Doing anything else in the military or civilian side to prepare for it is just a waste of time because of how not much translates to the job of a PJ unless you wanna spend years getting paramedic and working that. But that's at least 4 years before its worth it.

Did you forget about paramedics you dense mother fucker?
The only conscience objectives I respect are Quakers. All others are total faggot cowards. Except for those guys in ww2 who volunteered for starvation/chemical/biological medical experiments. I respect that cause those guys got fucked up and some even died in service to their country. They just didn't want to kill anybody.
But for the most part "conscience" is code for "coward."
>fight the wars of globalist (bankers) and die for their cause or you're a coward!
Shove it up your ass.
man, early 1900s political cartoons were savage
>>29791281
Do you have any real proof (that isn't speculation or unsourced claims) that "globalist bankers" run the world?
I might have posted these pictures here before but for some reason I can't fucking remember.

>we want to combine the better features of the AR-15 and the AKM for our new service rifle
I don't know if it's significantly better than either, probably not, but it's a great rifle in it's own right.
Shame they can't be imported anymore, they're nice.
I would not feel inadequately armed carrying one.
what's the one Indian rifle everyone always jokes about?

Are they reputable? I have seen a lot of reviews online discussing poor customer service, and the occasional rust bucket. Yet I do not know if these things are very rare, and I am hoping to buy from them and not get ripped off. Thoughts?
>>29790688
I bought a Vepr 12 from them and everything went great.
>>29790688
I bought a nugget from them. Everything went smoothly.
>>29790688
I got a Mosin from then for $90. Classic themselves were great, rifle was great. Gunstore that it shipped to were assholes, but that's a different issue.
So I bought a long French Bayonet from an Army Surplus/Civil War store for $65. It has a square right on the sheath to clip to your belt, and intact and functioning release button, little to no wear including scratches, rust, and corrosion, some weird hook that I would like to know more about, and MATCHING SERIAL NUMBERS. My leg is next to it for scale, and I'm about 5 feet tall. I will provide measurements later, because I'm not at home.
What I want to know is what model it was used on, when it was used/made, and how much it is worth. If you could help in any way I would appreciate it a ton.
This is also a general antique weapons thread.
>>29790499
ill give ye about $3.50 for it
>>29790499
>5 feet tall
When will you learn?
Cool bayonet tho.

Would you pass a gear check?
>>29790401
Would you pass a cup check?
>>29790404
Not OP but I'm sensitive about cup checks. I have gyno and kinda look like a skinny fag. When I had to go get checked by the army they were making fun of my hips and A cups and asking if I was a tranny.

kek I love that game
I have a question for the people here who have experience assembling firearms kits.
What tools do I need to get started on putting guns together in my garage.
I don't care about kits to save money, I'm just doing it as something to do with my dad.
We already have a plethora of carpentry tools, but I know most of them can't be used for metal.
Also this is going to be a regular thread so I'll start calling it Firearm kit general, or something similar.
>>29790342
Here's what I've learned from making a few parts kit builds. I haven't done an AK yet.
>FAL parts kit
Requires a solid vice, a torque wrench, barrel vice, action wrench for the receiver, headspace gauges, timing rods for the barrel/receiver timing (or a good eye or two), and pin gauges for headspacing.
>1911 parts kit
Only requires a file set really. It's really fucking easy to put together from a kit.
>AR15 parts kit
Requires an AR15 action wrench, something to hold down the receiver while you torque the barrel on it, and a good eye or two. I literally sat on the receiver and torqued the barrel on it's that easy. It doesn't need an absurd amount of torque to be safe unlike the FAL.
Most men should have basic tools: hammer, hole punch set, allen wrenches, screwdrivers, breaker bar, ratchets, sockets, etc.

Recommendations on a 1911 kit?
I'm interested as well.Want to make a sten at some point.
>went and watched the movie Antman
>expecting to see awesome action and kickass story
>majority of the story is about him being cucked by his ex wife and how he can't go see his daughter without paying the ungodly amount of money for the wife and somehow he is happy with her doing that to him and is happy about the guy fucking his wife
>the entirety of the movie isn't accurate on the portrayal of guns especially that one scene where the ants blocked the hammer of a Beretta then somehow it magically turns into a fucking glock
Goddamn they could have at least used a fucking airsoft by that point FUCK!
General shitty movies with liberal bias and shit knowledge on guns

Spartans vs Vikings hypothetical scenario
BOTH SIDES USE STEEL WEAPONS
BOTH SIDES USE STEEL WEAPONS
First Combat terrain resembles the lands of France and Germany.
Second Combat terrain type resembles Middle East.
>>29790292
Vikings. They have the advantage of knowing the history of the spartans and their tactics simply by existing later in time.
>>29790323
Yeah the Vikings' historical knowledge of ancient Spartan warfare is legendary.
what is at stake? who is more motivated? what are they defending or trying to accomplish?
