Well, sitting on a base all day can be incredibly boring, so as a time killer, and potential learning experience for some, throw some questions my way about the military. Ask about whatever you want, the food, the living, the day to day crap, whatever. As long as its not some shit that could get me in trouble, I have no problem answering questions.

What's the maximum effective range of an area target of the M16A2 gas powered rifle? And the Point target? lol I'll give you hard ones since I'm prior service and want to test your knowledge.

Have you ever walked in on your Sergeant jerking off?

If I could reach through the internet and punch you in the head, I would.

What kind of food they serving you?

Surprisingly, the food is rather good. Its a mix of everything, but generally there's the staples of some sort of chicken or fish, they have steak from time to time, and there was some bomb ass salmon for lunch the other day. Theres a full salad bar, soda and juice and whatnot, and usually theres some kind of ice cream or something.

What's the maximum effective range of an area target of the M16A2 gas powered rifle? And the Point target?

The area range is 800 meters, and the point target range is 550, but if you can hit anything with great accuracy using the iron sights at that range, you're a better shot than I. Also, I see you're from Pittsburgh. Where at, we might have been neighbors.

What's the most difficult thing you did so far?

In all honesty, nothing has been too terribly difficult, but if I were to pick any one thing, I'd have to say night time live fire at basic, where they shot over our heads and we low crawled in sand and shit. It wasn't scary or anything, it was just a long ass way to crawl in wet fucking sand. I guess if you want a humorous answer, I'd say its holding my sanity in this terrible high school like training base.

How many Soldier's is there at ur Base (camp)?

It's a Fort, and it's large enough to have its own zip code and area code. If I had to guess, I'd say it has the average population of a small city.

Any regrets?

None, this has been great for me.

How many Tank, APC, Etc, is there?

I have no idea, and this is what I meant by the kinds of questions that could be in trouble. Don't ask about military strength and whatnot, because I will not put out that sort of information.

Serious question - favorite weapon to use?

By far the M240B. Its a belt-fed machine gun that fires 7.62mm rounds at a speed of around 800 rounds a minute. It turns anything you point it at into swiss cheese.

Are there any hot chicks that you haven't banged yet? As in hot enlisted chicks that you see marching by and suddenly you trip out of formation because you can't stop thinking about banging them.... that kind of hot.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA... HAHAHAHA...

Oh, you're serious?

Army chicks are the most repugnant, scum of the earth creatures to ever roam the planet. Just so you know.

You are on Ft. Benning?

Fort Gordon, its next to Augusta.

How are the living spaces or barracks or w/e?

Not amazing, but not awful either. Most people are in eight man rooms, but due to a bit of luck, I'm in a four man room with a private bathroom. Don't take this for regular army though. Training bases barracks's pretty much blow compared to regular army barracks's.

No need to quote this one. I'm a 25F, which is a Switching System Operator and Maintainer. Basically, I'm a one man phone and internet company. I sit in a box all day and keep the phones and data transfers working. Not exactly a Rambo job, but it's alright.

      jelly3384's application for Enlistment Form Questions Name you wish to use and Age: (Our unit uses realistic names, this does not have to be your real name) Pigeon, 16 Platform Type Epic Games Store Steam ID (Use 17 Digit SteamID 64 / PC Game Pass Account Username): Pigeon_theft   Do you have a microphone? Yes   Which game title are you applying for? Hell Let Loose   If you've selected Hell Let Loose, do you understand that this game is currently not cross platform capable and only PC players currently may apply? ( Steam or PC Game Pass) Yes   Why do you wish to join the 1st Marine Raiders? I've played BFV and milsimed in it, and it was a lot more fun when I milsimed. and I enjoy playing HLL, so I think it is going to be more fun when I join.   Did any of our current members play a part in you enlisting? If so, who? If none, how did you learn about us: I found you guys from a website called disboard when looking for HLL milsim groups to join.   This unit offers more than just a place to play games with each other, do you have any online skills you think would be useful? no   Do you have any Leadership experience that you think will be helpful? I'm not sure if it will be helpfull,but I used to be in BFV milsim groups and in my last one I got to [E-7] out of [E-1] to [O-8], so I was a NCO and I helped the officers with whatever they needed doing, weather it was assisting with training, settling disputes or helping them decide what was appropriate disciplinary action. And when we were in combat I was usually assigned to lead my own squad.   Have you ever been in a realism unit before, and if so, which unit was it? yes. I was in quite a few BFV milsim groups, although I was only in one at any given time. unfortunately, I have left the discord servers and I do not remember the names of them. if you would like, I could probably give a reference to someone who was an officer in most of the groups I was in.   By posting this Enlistment form, I acknowledge the instructions completely, declare that I am 16 years old or older, and agree that I have and will follow server and unit rules maturely and respectfully or face immediate rejection. Yes   Application stats UserId: 943213736024498227 Username: jelly3384 User: @Rec. J. Buford Duration: 1131 seconds Joined guild at: a day ago
