Hey, so im a freshman in uni, and im majoring in aerospace and mechanical engineering.
And I've been thinking about doing rotc.
I just want to know any of ur guys experiences in ROTC and whats it like being commissioned right out of college as an officer.
Also, im interested in becoming an infantry officer, armor officer, or being a part of the corp of engineers.
And i as wondering if i should change my major to something easier to have a better chance of being commissioned as active duty?
Oh and if any of you guys have experience in combat as a platoon leader?
Thanks
i done army rotc in high school and it was kinda fun actually, but at the end of the day you're a wannabe soldier if you take it serious.
>now im 11b and rotc didnt help me at all
>>28883302
Don't do it
It's a waste of time pretending to do army and it won't help you at all. Just enjoy college and then try to get a commission. Army will still pay off your loans

But isnt OCS a lot more competitive?
With VLS and aa lasers of course.

>future ships
>still uses masts
Is that last one the "U.S.S. Nothing Personnel"?

There isn't any. Big-ass target that'll be overwhelmed by AShMs. Distributed firepower is the best option.
There he is. There he goes again. Look, everyone! He posted it once again! Isn't he just the strategic guy around?! Oh my God.
I can almost see your pathetic overweight frame glowing in the dark, lit by your computer screen which is the only source of light in your room, giggling like a like girl as you once again type your little Battleship thread up and fill in the captcha. Or maybe you don't even fill in the captcha. Maybe you're such a battleship mafia armchair general. that you actually paid for a 4chan pass, so you just choose the picture. Oh, and we all know the picture. The "epic" 16inch guns, isn't it? I imagine you little shit laughing so hard as you click it that you drop your copy of the Millennium Challenge 2002 on the floor, but it's ok, your mother will clean it up in the morning. Oh, that's right. Did I fail to mention? You live with your mother. You are a fat fucking fuckup, she's probably so sick of you already. So sick of having to do everything for you all goddamn day, every day, for a grown man who spends all his time on 4chan posting about a obsoleted weapons platform. Just imagine this. She had you, and then she thought you were gonna be a scientist or an astronaut or something grand, and then you became a armchair general. A pathetic BBfag armchair general. She probably cries herself to sleep everyday thinking about how bad it is and how she wishes she could just disappear. She can't even try to talk with you because all you say is "YAMATO DID NOTHING WRONG." You've become a parody of your own self. And that's all you are. A sad little man laughing in the dark by himself as he prepares to indulge in the same old dance that he's done a million times now. And that's all you'll ever be.

Does anyone here feel like they don't need or want more than 5-10 guns? I'll see people who have 30+ on arsenal threads, but for the life of me I just don't think I'd ever buy that many.
It's not that I don't think someone shouldn't buy as many guns as they want, it's just not what I'd do.
>>28882069
I'm that way. I want to shoot everything that was ever invented to fire. But owning them? Not so much. I don't fault anyone else for having a nice collection, but I like to keep mine to guns I use regularly.
It's called a collection.
I only need to drive around a Honda Fit, but I own 6 cars. I only need to carry a small handgun for self defense, or have one rifle for game but I have over 30. I only need a small Opinel knife to slice boxes open, but I have 15 knives.
What is /k/s opinion of theyankeemarshal
>>28881769
No opinion. He is irrelevant.
>>28881769
Has opinions, colorfully expresses opinions, explains the basis for his opinions. I like some of his stuff - ignore the rest.
I dislike him stronger than I dislike Buck "Ditch Bitch" Angel

It's almost like you want to lose or something.
Would you be in support of legalizing gun duels? Seems like if 2 people agree on the terms, and understanding the high chance of death there is no reason they shouldn't be allowed to duel in a safe setting.
>>28881367
Lethal pistol duels were not all that common when they where legal. The two pissed gentlemen would pace out then turn to fire but usually they would shoot the pistol into the air. It was mostly dickwaving and preserving ones honor or ego.
>>28881367
Should be legal.
You and me, a couple of PPS-43s and a couple kilos of ammo.
Who will win?
>>28881367
Duels were an aristocratic tool to allow violence between equals of a higher class. Dueling is now largely unnecessary because of egalitarian ideals in many western societies.
That being said I believe whole-heartedly that you should not be able to remove a persons life, liberty or property without due process so I think duels could be allowed if the person being challenged were put through due process first in some sort of manner.
Let's see what you have.
This is all that remains of my collection.
Looking to get some more Mausers and maybe one of those new StGs one of these days.
>>28881277
>all that remains
why
>>28881277
This is /k/
No one has guns

What does /k/ think about this movie? Marvel isnt good at being edgy in my opinion
It's what got me into guns.
>That scene where he fires 2 rounds out of his 1911 and just keeps reloading

How fuckin old were you when this movie came out? Its from like 2004
Imagine having to fight in pic related.
Imagine having to fight room to room to clear out the 5 million insurgents in this.
Why are we fighting?
>>28881047
Starvation and disease would be as much a danger as enemy combatants.
Also, tunnel fighting in the sewer and train systems would be brutal affairs.
I want to start up a merc/PMC company.Any idea where to and how to start ? This is also a New Rhodesia thread.
Fuck you.
Generally, PMCs are started by ex-sf guys who get a bunch of also ex-sf friends and look for work. Thats how EO and Blackwater started. If this isn't you, you probably lack the connections to make it work.
I'm monitoring this thread for the impending lulz.
>>28881026
Step 1: get a group of like minded individuals with pertinent experience.
Step 2: get them licensed for armed security/ VIP protection, etc.
Step 3: advertise
Step 4: start getting gigs and slowly build your business and reputation.
Step 5: keep this up and you'll eventually get there.
You'll have to start small most likely and work your way up to "We're a PMC company". Most of these companies are started by ex military, but it is a business so nothing says you can't start one, but you will need to get these individuals hired on.

Currently in electrical/computer engineering at UT Austin how hard would it be to become a police officer in Texas, preferably in the Dallas area. Also, what should I do to prepare on the side? What is the police civil service exam like?
>>28880843
Also currently 20 years old from what I understand you have to be 21 at time of application.
>>28880843
Are you retarded? Your degree field makes way more money than a beat cop ever will.
>>28880843
>preferably in the Dallas area
Dallas is a shithole, police somewhere nice
US Marines vs Royal Marines
Which is the superior Marine organisation?
>>28880809
US Marines, because they have more stuff.
>>28880819
This, all out war they would have the Brits praying to allah
>>28880809
US Marines because there is way more of them, and they aren't beta as fuck bongs who let sanjeet and ahmed chop their heads off while walking down the street.
Well there you go. Catastrophic AR failure. Apparently the guy was shooting some would and things went bang.
