/mbg/ - MERIT BADGE GENERAL

CRITERIA FOR 4 CORE SKILLS
We can decide on what are acceptable levels of skill here are my suggestions. If you work as a professional (SWAT/Active Infantry, EMT or better, Radio Technician, etc.), then I proposed that you would automagically graduate to the highest tier for that skill and put a "Pro" designation below the icon (black star sticker underneath the icon).

For most of these, you'll have to demonstrate that you passed a lower level of skill before earning a higher level of skill (have proof of earning the Level III in Weapons before Level IV in weapons).

As a reminder these skills will be color-coded on the single Tier 1 Badge (2" x 3" kydex)
>Level I (Worst): Orange Tape - No equipment/no skill
>Level II: Black Tape - Has equipment
>Level III: Grey Tape - Has equipment and demonstrated low level of skill
>Level IV (Best): NO TAPE - Has equipment and demonstrated higher level of skill

This is dumb and you should feel bad for posting it

Weapons Shooting:
>Level I (Worst): Orange Tape: No pistol, rifle, or shotgun
>Level II: Black Tape: Owns a pistol, rifle, or shotgun
>Level III: Grey Tape: Can load a rifle and hit a man-sized target at 300 yards within 1 minute with only using iron sights
>Level IV (Best): NO TAPE: From 7 yards put 2 shots into a 10" target with a rifle, transition to 2 shots with a pistol, holster pistol, reload rifle with a fresh mag and take 2 more shots (we'd have to decide on a time limit). SWAT or Active Infantry would automatically earn Level IV and have the "Pro" designation

Communications:
>Level I (Worst): Orange Tape: Doesn't own a radio
>>Level II: Black Tape: Owns at least a cheap Chinese radio
>Level III: Grey Tape: Has a Ham Technician license
>Level IV (Best): NO TAPE: Has a Ham Generalist license. Professional radio technicians would automatically earn Level IV and the "Pro" designation

Survival
>Level I (Worst): Orange Tape: Doesn't own basic equipment to survive overnight
>Level II: Black Tape: Has a bug-out bag with minimal equipment
>Level III: Grey Tape: Has done a solo overnight innawoods. Has made fire without matches/lighter
>Level IV (Best): NO TAPE: Has done a solo 3-night innawoods. SERE instructors would automatically earn Level IV and the "Pro" designation

Medicine:
>Level I (Worst): Orange Tape: No equipment/no training
>Level II: Black Tape: Has an IFAK or blowout kit
>Level III: Grey Tape: Has Red Cross First Aid certification
>Level IV (Best): NO TAPE: Has taken Combat/Trauma course. Medical first responders (or better) would automatically earn Level IV and the "Pro" designation

feel free to hide the thread and move on

>Second, why the fuck would you use kydex
tape will easily stick to kydex and create a way to communicate progress without necessitating 16 different patches (4 skills x 4 levels).

Boy Scouts aren't accomplishing anything and aren't alive?

Boy this is a bland thread, I think it needs some SAGE.

This board has had 6,000,000 spergy attempts at uniforms, but this actually has some benefit since it is tied into self-improvement.

Also, none of this says 4chan, /k/, boipuccis, anthropomorphized weapons, or other embarrassing, half-gay shit, so this could spread to other online gun communities.
