    no smaller, larger. Diy!

    Cool. So you were in the navy, air force, space force, or…???

    ability to remove

    And if they never have any in the first place?

    clean shaven man

    But cis women dont need work and extra toiletries to meet this standard by default. Can meet it after months behind enemy lines without extra effort or hours.

    generally better shots

    Lower avrg center of gravity is the big reason i remember, plus more points to brace from, if you’ve seen women carry heavy things.

    150 lbs

    Need a little less, and tebd to carry it better, but i know my aunt and i always made my dad look silly when we’d shoot on family camping trips, and those two got competitive about everything. I don’t think we were carrying 150, but it was a pretty serious hiking family, and i was a literal child.

      First off… Copy and paste is free. Quote me accurately. I’ve already mentioned several times that I was Army.

      But cis women dont need work and extra toiletries to meet this standard by default. Can meet it after months behind enemy lines without extra effort or hours.

      Are you shitting me? Cis women don’t need extra toiletries? For MONTHS behind enemy lines? Shaving equipment is a handle and a few blades… and water. Where women would require pads, tampons, etc… right? I can keep a handle and blade in my pocket next to my knife (which also works as a makeshift shaving device btw…) and the granola bar I got out of my last MRE. Taking little space and next to no additional weight. You’ve got no idea.

      Lower avrg center of gravity is the big reason i remember, plus more points to brace from, if you’ve seen women carry heavy things.

      So then you have no idea what you’re even talking about since you need to “remember” it. And no… there are no magical addition points to brace from for a women in regards to carrying things in a combat situation. You need to keep your arms available to use your weapon. The only place to put equipment in on your kit or on your back. There is no additional mount points that either gender would have over the other.

      I don’t think we were carrying 150

      You weren’t carrying all your equipment in a war zone. Body armor, weapon, heavy clothes, radios, bags, nods, additional equipment… It tallys up quickly… Especially if you’re a crew gunner… or ammo carrier for the crew gunner. You cannot compare your civilian shit to active war. This is why I end up in these comments more often than I’d like… people like you seem to dream what the warfighter does and equate it to some random hike you took a couple times as a child… Not realizing the world of difference that it is. I’ve seen soldiers carrying Mk19’s around post for PT… that fucking thing is like 80 lbs on it’s own, forget the ammo.

      At this point I’m disengaging with you. Feel free to get the last sentence in. But it’s clear you have no idea, and no interest in listening to those that do.

        is free

        On desktop. It’s a bitch and a half on mobile.

        So, for the army being huge isn’t bad. Unless you’re in a vehicle. Where it all has to be bigger, and i assume there’s sone square cube nonsense with armoring larger compartments

        don’t need extra toiletries to meet this standard

        Whole sentence.

        Also, plenty of non-disposable solutions exist.

        handle few blades water

        To get really close? For a gas mask? No.

        since i need to remember

        Yeah i guess i should just deduce the world from first principles whatever bullshit seems cool. Memory is for the weak.

        unmodifued cis women do not come equiwith hard points as specified by US milspec #802.11n

        Thats totally what i said. Fight me about it mr. Army man-but know that i am not an unmodified cis woman, im a punk with too many body mods, and will be equipped with 120mm guns on all five turrets. Also a split tounge, which will only matter if you bring your wife.

        you werent carrying all your equipment in a war zone

        Yes i was. I totally was and thats exactly what i said. My family took camping very seriously. When i was 6, my dad got us into bosnia, there was this hiking path just outside sarajevo with just the nicest sniper, and sone fun puzzles on tge ground, but the next year my aunt one-upped him with rwanda. It’s so pretty this time of year, especially with all the Halloweeny decorations they do! Probably my favorite vacation ever.

        In all seriousness: it was a military family, we did not stick to trails, and i have carried large bags and people while being shot at and gassed-admittedly on paved streets-since. While avoiding cameras. So i think i have some idea. Though admittedly, i was pulling stuff out of people rather than shooting things after. Maybe none if the experience translates, idk.
