    To everyone saying he’s being disrespectful because he’s laughing... notice the nature of the laugh and how he takes a sip of juice after every time that’s ptsd those are classic body language moves related to awkwardness, Hiding emotion and being self conscious

    This was my brigade the 1st combat brigade of the 101st airborne. I was with these guys this deployment but not on this OP different platoon. That's what I was a fister. 13 foxtrot fire support specialist or aka forward observer. We called in arty rounds or cas(close air support). They call us Fisters because our mos logo is a fist holding a lightning bolt so that's where the term fister came from

    • @SimmySquad
      @SimmySquad 4 года назад +41

      As a 20 year Fister working as the BDE FSNCO, our DS in AIT always said it was because the FST (Fire Support Team) was called “Fist” as it was easier. And as it grew, the FO’s would say “I’m a Fister” and it’s grown as such. Yes our gauntlet is a fist holding a lightning bolt but I believe that emblem was derived after the slang term.

My grandpa dropped his saw and fell out of the tree bout 10'...when my dad reached him he was in the featle position absolutely shook, not blinking, not moving, nothing.....

Then there was the Jungle, Leaches,bugs, Misquotes,snakes,spiders, and ants and you couldn't see 10 yards in front of you. Plus we were carrying that heavy M-14, and in the jungle it's not a good battle rifle .You want to get your adrenaline pumping? Try fighting the fight we fought in the Jungle!

If the bolt sends a round forward and you have a misfire for some reason (usually cheap rounds) then the round will sit in the barrel, Or receiver assembly, and can cook off if its hot. Thats why you treat every misfire as a hangfire and wait before ejecting it. Last thing you want is to eject a round and have it grenade on you.

      " a higher calling " is a cool book. Its two perspectives, starts with a German pilot and then an american bomber at the end it connects them. Basically the German escorted the American bomber out of Germany. If the German downed it he would got a special medal for 50 air combat kills. Of course he doesnt shoot it down but its a great read. I dont read often at all either. Finished it in like 8 hours

    8:57 That's contact while heading to Sperwan Ghar. It is in the Zhari Panjwai disrict and it is one of the most fucked parts of AFG. I'm kind of shocked neither of you have heard of it. It used to be a Canadian AO from 08 and before, but we(US) took it over in 09. A LOT of missions were ran out of that AO in that time, and there was a lot of SOF activity in the area for a good long while.
    It is TIC country.

      @Real_MisterSir 4 года назад +24

      @@sladepruitt564 A claymore is essentially a one-way explosive device, that will blow up if you walk in front of it. Put into context, if someone in a real firefight brings out a claymore to set up, that means they are expecting to be overrun by enemies in very close proximity. Typically a device such as a claymore is used as a last resort, in situations where you consider your position fully compromised, and you need a form of plan B defense in a location that you yourself are unable to defend.
      In video games claymores are used very casually because the nature of most shooting games naturally put you versus an enemy team in a close proximity arena/map, where enemies are expected to come at you from all potential directions, so close encounters are a given in every match.
      Hope that explains it :)
