You've all probably heard on the news about the proposal to send 3,000 Marines to Afghanistan, well the proposal was just approved by the SecDef and I am one of those 3,000 Marines who are going. Our unit was originally a MEU(SOC), we just completed the entire workup and certification...

SAW gunners up. I just found out i'm going to be a SAW gunner on my next deployment yut. I need advice from SAW gunners who've been there, what type of rig did you use? Did you use a certain type of chest rig specifically for a SAW gunner such as the ones offered by TAG or Blackhawk? Did you...

Thank you everyone. I am 0300 Infantry.

I'm back guys, I just graduted from platoon 2024 2nd Bn E Co. at Parris Island yesterday. My drill instructors were Senior Drill Instructor Staff Sergeant Perez, Drill Instructor Staff Sergeant Damren, Drill Instructor Staff Sergeant Robinson, and Drill Instructor Sergeant Pearson. I did it, I...

I'd just like to say good bye to everyone, I only have 4 days left as a civilian and I am shipping to Parris Island on Monday to fulfill my life long dream of becoming a U.S. Marine. I got to meet a lot of great people on here, for now it's good bye, but i'll see you all back here on April...

I am having trouble deciding between the Strider D9-SS and MTL-SS. Both knives look similar, however the D9 costs $100 more and I can see no decipherable difference between them. What makes the D9 more expensive? Thanks

I'm looking to get a Smith & Wesson revolver in .357 Magnum for home defense, however there are literally a countless number of different models available and I have no idea where I should start looking. It will be primarily used for home defense and I would occasionally like to carry it as...

I just bought a Springfield TRP and would like to know what are some must have accessories, special tools, etc. that every 1911 owner should have? I already own an Otis cleaning kit, lot's of mags, and tons of ammo. What else should I buy? What are some must have accessories, tools, etc...

If you're having issues with your Sig then you need to contact Sig's customer service and allow them to rectify the problem. Their customer service is second to none and they stand behind their product no matter what. I bought a used Sig 229 DAK that was several years old, out of warranty, I...

Buy a real M1 Garand from CMP for practically 1/3 the cost of a lower quality commercial reproduction from SA. The only downside to buying from CMP is waiting for your rifle to come, I placed my order for a Service Grade M1 Garand back in DECEMBER and i'm still waiting. I also own a 1903...

"Between the Springfield Loaded and the Kimber Custom II, which would be the better pick?" The Springfield, very few reliability issues compared to the Kimber.
