I've seen this before, I'd love to know what that guy was thinking that was running down the road while they were firing past him...

I dont think he got THAT close...its hard to tell whats going on because the guys in the video have NODs and we (and the camera) don't.

GPA is what matters though. Recondo is like 1% increase on the OML.

im thinkin about possibly staying in the Guard as an O-1 after I get back from Afghanistan which would gaurantee that I branch Infantry as an officer. Then going to Ranger school and finally the LAPD academy. GPA matters a whole lot less at that point. I really want recondo just to proove it to myself.

You gotta really push to get a Ranger School slot in the Guard. The reason being is that it's another thing the state has to pay for.

Interesting vid, to bad about the music.

"why do people always put crappy metal songs over every video?"

Calling this **** metal is an insult. It's like wanna be industrial German crap. Metal it is not.

Im in a Recon unit. We've got more Ranger school/Sniper school papers than TP in the latrine.

That was intense man. Plus the guy, I think, suddenly appearing on the horizon. That was scary. Nearly resulted in a FF accident. But still it was too dark. We can't tell.

Its a pretty old repost. There are versions without music and I think it's in the mega thread somewhere.

One of the most intense videos I've seen so far. Craziness.
