Nah man Id disagree the older genreation of green berets are so incredibly professional. The rangers i worked with were at up as far as rangers go. still more professional compared to conventional units but GB can definitly get on point faster smoother and easier than rangers. Its takes a battalion of rangers to do what an ODA of GB do. Going back to the generational thing the younger cats regaudless of unit is ate up to high hell. so entitled they are.

3-6month.

@@MackDonaldo they go out every night of that 3 month deployment though and see much more than conventional army would on a 8 month deployment walking through the mountains.

@@duffelbagdrag mad respect for anyone in the infantry…went to Infantry advanced course…got a chance to check out the Bradley (baby Abrams).

Became a army helo pilot for 27yrs after leaving 1st Batt…always loved flying for the grunts. Like I said, Mad Respect.

I can feel you with this even kit from early gwot is a lot more ancient looking. I got out in 2011 and we were just starting to switch to some of the kit he showed. When i was first in we were rocking the que ball helmets all tan spray paint then we went to the spray paint camo net pattern, then some got the crye helmet covers before they switched to the modern helmet just as I was getting out.

Ranger battalion used to, if not now, promote based on certain training or school objectives more than time in service. Initial promotions were faster than the regular army, but you can't get an e5 without Ranger school, then promotions beyond that depend on more factors.

They are called light infantry for this very reason

I can only speak for what myself and the squad had. Couple secret squirrels with Kbars, mostly pocket style flip knifes. Utility knifes to cut 550 really, my favorite was just a long shank flat head screw driver (ol trusty) the one in the tool box you reach for in those "Finesse" situations. doors, boxes, pad locks, gates, mre's, Encouraging the M2 to work properly. Hell I even remember using it to help climb up and out of steep inclines and over walls. Think I got more out of that 4 dollar beater than anything else on my kit to be honest.

most rangers Ive known had either a auto open or flip open benchmade or similar knife they carried with them in their pocket everywhere in or out of kit.

Fairly common to still strap a combat knife around the lower leg.

@@joshua3630 not with the infil and exfil rangers do on a normal mission you want to keep as much weight and constricting things off your legs as possible and keep them on your core. Its also part of the reason you don't see drop holsters in regiment. You see on the hip or if they do a lot of vehicle ops they will mount it high on the plate to allow access easy not on the leg as it will cause problems on a 10+k infil.

Infantry in general and rangers in particular train by saying you're dead if you lose your firearm. Soldiers carry knives for utility, and only as a last resort weapon.

is it okey to let the army recruite kids in our school without our authorisation ? i mean if we cant have gay books in the same building as our kids why should the army be allowed to recruite in the same building as our kids.

@@abricots5588 because the United States was founded on Christianity thus the United States military falls under the US government making it a Christian based military but with the exception soldiers having any individual religion they want granted by our constitutional rights. Now being gay/ homosexuality is a sin in the eyes of God and an abomination to Christianity. It’s always been tradition for the military to recruit the young men and women from high school as an early career which usually the military is good for you. If you’re 18 which is legal age, you don’t need parents approval obviously but point being you can do whatever you’d like with your life as in a career from that point. They can recruit 17 year olds but they need an adult’s signature to actually process in. I don’t believe it’s such a bad thing for young people to go into the military as long as their lives aren’t wasted with toxic and/or corrupt leader ship. It’s also not the military’s job to inform you that your kids are interested in joining. That’s the child’s choice if he wants to inform his family on his aspirations. The military isn’t forcing anyone to join. Everyone has their own free will. Now gay books shouldn’t be in schools because they’re pretty disgusting. The gross language and pedophila in the books are sinful and the teachings in them are evil. You don’t want 6 year olds learning how to read from from a book about homosexual intercourse. That’s evil and sick. You can’t really make a comparison with all due respect. The United States was founded on Christ and it needs to go back to a Pro Christ era. Reject all this sick and evil woke crap. FYI, even the military is woke and left now. That’s why I’m not in.

It’s a North American rescue CAT (combat application tourniquet)!

The gerber is not an issued item to rangers, most carry one but not a specific brand or model

the plate carrier is 7 years old, the rest is probably replaced as needed. The IFAK internals for example, need to get replaced every few years simply because the medical stuff expires

More than likely the carrier is original but it probably got replaced not too long ago... pouches and any other kits can get torn up pretty significantly during training and deployments so it wouldn't surprise me if he had to replace a lot of those frequently scenario dependent

@@dobrzpe It's all fun and games until it comes time to cross the shit creek, then the weight of god crashes down upon you.

lightest kit I had was 90lbs when on squirter interdiction, most the time it was 120+ and I weighted between 150-165 entire time i was in batt, except during and immediately after ranger school where I only weight 135-140ish.

This is also one big ass dude, he def weighs a good bit naked 😂

Those are for breaching. Squad leaders typically carry a short barrel shotgun with hatton rounds that can defeat most residential style doors.

@abricots5588 probably not too likely in an active war zone but hatton rounds are made of clay and won't kill a person.

​@@jk.smalls Your use of "Won't" is so generous you should claim it as a charitable donation. Hatton round Are deadly and have caused deaths in the past and multiple injuries. Hatton rounds are not really made of clay, they are made of metal powder in a clayish polymer. And what you described as a Warzone is Literally their houses. They cant just leave their houses for 20 years. The entire country was a Warzone.

Idk about all that bro, I was in Aco 3/75 in 2013 and a bunch of the dudes in my platoon had been in that surviving the cut show. I remember rgt also produced a recruiting ad that year where they showed real combat footage, training events, pt ect. with music from Breaking Benjamin. Mostly for pr to get recruiting and retention up but it was cool to see recognition, good for morale imo.

It's not that deep. All branches do this, retention issues or not. I mean the song "In the Navy" was literally a pitched by the Navy for recruitment, I don't think anyone would say the Navy was having man power issues back then.

They are pushing the army hard in my school.

Drop packet.

... their* (!) own guys ...

Yeah, the way I see it, individual soldiers should be able to invest in their own kit (mainly plate carriers & chest rigs, since body armor causes insurance concerns) that’s lighter and more mobile. If you take pride in your kit and hone your craft, you’re even more effective as an infantryman.

He did say it should only used in a secure area. Plus it doesn't catch the eye like regular lights. I did hear once that Troops in Vietnam said they could sometimes see each other because of the red flashlights lol

No kidding! I've been told red my whole life. Interesting I'll get a blue/green for my kit right now 😂

He is a platoon seargent, he will definitely not be clearing buildings or right up front with the guys. His job is to manage the squads. mostly joes/team-leaders/squad leaders would carry flash bangs and Chem lights

You have pouches for flashbangs. I don't think they were trying to get into disposable equipment very much, but yes chemlights would normally be tied together with 550 and hanging somewhere for easy access.

I figured it was because of his leadership role but it does surprise me that there’s not a bundle of chemlights. I didn’t see a roll of tape or Sharpies, so I’m sure there were some small details left out to keep the video on point and make sure all the big stuff was covered. It was a great video.

Early in the video he spoke about the elastic pouches on the front of his kit below the mag pouches. That's similar to where I put my chemlights. Not necessarily right at the front, but in a similar type of pouch. You can also slide them into the molle webbing on your plate carrier. As a platoon sergeant, he would carry chemlights for potentially marking casualties, or hanging them out a window in a cleared room. I know they're supposed to be on and off the objective quickly, but if they did have a mass casualty situation (and you'll always get one in training haha, because they suck), he would need to help the medics organize a casualty collection area. For my unit, part of that is placing different colored chemlights next to different levels of trauma. Also, it seems low tech next to all his kit, but he would definitely have different pens or map markers as well, again maybe in those types of pouches. Like the comment above said, no matter how sophisticated the gear, you always need something to write with haha.

That depends on unit SOP. I've seen most teams carry flashbangs on the back of their carrier for the man behind them.
