el Gringo Loco

Let's start with israel acknowledging the borders set by the UN, and agreed by Israel in the first place, for the nation of Israel.

A metal chair is a total different story.

It actually says, translated in english of course: Sanitary relaxation facility and on the other side it says: "You came here to shit and stink, I came here to sit and think"

Are we talking crap here. See here the very sophiscated manner of taking a dump in the field. The Summer and winter method. We dug several holes in the vicinity when the hole used was full. We of course didn't mark the old holes. So navigating your way through the 'shitting fields' in order to reach the chair, was far more dangerous than navigating your way through your avarage mine-field. BTW extra points to the one who didn't manage to get his butt frozen to the chair in the winter edition. This was BTW the idea of some of our officers of a functional latrine. I'm just happy that I didn't have to go to war with these no-brains. Summer version Winter edition

Taking a submahinegun to an assault rifle battle outdoors is real Military Stupidity.<span id='postcolor'> Yep you are right, but there was a philosophy behind that. They argued that if you were driving in the front of a jeep you couldn't use a long-barreled rifle as proficiently as a short one. Believe it or not, but this was actually true. HAHAHAHAH I never had the UZI as personal weapon, back than it was my secondary weapon. I had an FN-FAL as personal weapon first, later that became a SAW with a diemaco C7 short version as secondary. Luckily all the UZI's are phased out for some years now. The army got a littlebit more professional

Title: Shooting range Nonsense As every good soldier should back in my serving years I spend quite some time on the shooting range shooting aluminium russians. You even can't believe how stupid some people can be over there. One time we had a new CO which accompanied us to the range. As we were celebrating that some of our mates left the army last night it was needless to say that our aim was a littlebit off that day on the range. In other words we couldn't hit jack shit. So our CO was pretty pissed at us and determined he should give a good example how to hit targets with an UZI SMG at 100 meters. So he asked me and my mate to prepare him a UZI with a full clip. As we were becoming a little pissed of this new CO. His first day with the battery and already attitude, we decided to shut his mouth for good. So instead of loading the clip with live ammo we loaded his clip with blanks and put the magazine in the weapon. My sergeant saw what we did and already started pissing his pants by laughing, we told him to shut up because he could foil our plot. So with a poker face I handed the weapon to my CO and said to him: "Let me see how the pro's do it" My CO ordered the target operator to pop up the targets fully expecting to shoot them down as soon as they popped up. The first popped up and my CO shot after a second, he missed , another shot, missed again, another one, another one. The ass shot the whole clip empty at the one target without of course downing it. So after he fired 30 supposedly live rounds we said: "Thank you for this enlighting example of shooting russians". Pissed off, he trotted off to our truck to get some coffee. We were laughing our pants off and didn't get any remarks anymore on our shooting results. Once we had a sergeant who believed so strongly in the capabilities of the UZI that he let us fire at targets on 200m. Maybe it is possible to hit them with a UZI carabine, but with our UZI hitting something at 50m was already a daunting task. We used our UZI's almost for everything in the field, even for hacking roots when digging a fox hole. After a exercise we usually took the UZI's into the shower with us and cleaned it with water. Then immerse it in weapon oil, ready to use again. Needless to say I took more care of my personal weapon which I took on operations. Because from that one my life could depend. But the UZI's were called "whores" in the dutch army because everyone used them, they where not personal.So one day you had a pretty nice one to use in the field, the other day you had a shovel in the form of an UZI.

Hey Wobble, maybe something for your new signature when they're allowed again

I'm reinstalling OFP on a clean system. I'd like to download the 1.20 upgrade (ultimate upgrade 2) but the link on the flashpoint1985.com site is dead. Does anyone know a mirror?

Wobble, I see some uncanny resemblances in your avatar and signature picture. Are you in any way related to the bush family (I believe you come from texas) and got to browse through the George W. Bush family photo book?

24A was my unit's callsign in the army The L is a prefix which we used on 30 august 1995 when we guided A10A's to their targets in Bosnia

I think most of the guys who said they are or were in the army in some other thread are just a bunch of liars. How come I do not see any of your army stories over here? It's mainly only Noone's and my stories which are filling this thread. So Unless I do not see any other stories come up, I am forced to believe that Noone and I are the only members on this thread who actually have served. And if you have served but don't want to write a story, well then you're just a lazy SOB and probably served with the army administration regiment pushing paperweights and pencils around In other words. <span style='font-size:15pt;line-height:100%'>Where are your stories??</span>

Title: Why can't we sleep in our trucks. When we were on the move in Bosnia we never could sleep in our trucks when we stopped for the night. Because our COs might think that the trucks could get attacked by serb artillery. We had to sleep between the trucks hahahahahaha. This is what they learn at the armed forces academy in Holland!
