Every Female Engagement Team (FET) I had the headache of working with or hearing about other guys in my unit working with was a disaster. They don't do jack shit for the purpose of interacting with the local female population, and they are hilariously, terribly bad outside the wire.

The ones picked to tag along with SF are almost certainly a little bit better, but I doubt by much. The line FETs are literally women of random MOS who are given some short as fuck powerpoint training and then tossed into the job. They are used to doing whatever bullshit admin jobs they have at their mega-FOBs, so they don't have the experience to not be a nuisance during movement or combat in the field, and they act like Prima Donnas inside the wire.

So many stories of them being fuckall useless.

>>34127970
Because higher command demanded we have a FET in the AO to win hearts & minds for random specific operations. Line troopers aren't allowed to push complaints up because it's "sexist". There is also the bullshit where females are allowed to come in to male barracks/b-huts and all the males have to get fully dressed and accommodate them, but males are 100% not allowed near female barracks. It makes for a real pain in the ass situation when a female just decides she's going to hang out in a male b-hut for hours and now nobody can fucking get naked to change their clothes.

Let me see, oh- and I remember catching a female putting empty mags in the front of her vest because she didn't want to carry the weight of actual ammo. Meanwhile literally every infantry guy has a combat load of ammo plus a backpack of SAW ammo or M240 ammo, or is carrying something heavy like a SMAW-D or radio.

You grit your teeth for a week or so and wait for the stupid whores to leave.

Antisocial noguns detected. Its dictated by where you hold your face, some people shoulder so their nose is in line with the charging handle, others have their cheek far back on the stock with max LoP. Neither of these are wrong but they alter eye relief. In other words, preference.

>>34137081
Do you understand how eye relief on an optic fucking works? Even if you go nose to charging handle, an ACOG far forward on the rails is going to be far beyond the eye relief needed to get a proper sight picture.

Eye relief distance on an optic is not "personal preference", it's hard fucking fact determined by the specific optic. You can move you face around a bit, but when the optic is 3 inches for ward of where you can look through it, it's mounted wrong.

some guy suddenly pulled a gun on two cops working on an unrelated incident. Just outside the Tivoli garden full of turists. Police shot back, wounding the gunman, the whole area was locked down.

>>34138970
this is really pedantic of me but the SOPMOD M4 barrels are 14.5" long just like the regular M4 barrels. the only difference is the SOPMOD barrels are a lot thicker behind the gas port

anything to do with the new Europeans?

>>34144964

don't know, however the Police was dealing with two "new Europeans" when the shooter showed up and opened firer.

only information released so far is that the shooter is 50 years, currently hospitalised and too wounded to appear in front of a judge.

the police says that they don't believe the shooting is terror related, but is other vice very tight lipped.
