I'm good with any kind of pistol, sub-machine guns, and rifles. Boot camp teaches us that. Also, I can fly a FA-18 Fighter Jet, and an Apache Attack Helicopter.
Wait, you served as an Army chopper pilot and a Navy fighter pilot?
He's 19 according to his profile. I doubt what he says is true.
I joined boot camp at 18. It doesn't take that long to learn how to fly. The helicopters are hard as hell, tho. I still don't have my proficiency for them yet. But I CAN fly. Just not as well as a jet.
Hm fair enough, but it still seems kinda breif to me. In our (U.K.) Army Air Corps, to fly an Apache gunship you'll almost certainly need to be an officer (11 month - 47 weeks approx training) then undergo 59 weeks of army aircraft training, then finally you're trained in whatever aircraft, in this case an Apache, for a further 26 weeks, amounting to about weeks 132 in total. Which is over 2 years, so even if you joined at 17, in the British army you'd only just have been able to fly an Apache, hence my scepticism when you claimed to be able to fly 2 aircraft.
All of those figures can be found on the MoD website.
But still, I'm guessing the USAF or whatever have shorter training?

In this thread: The Annual Internet Tough Guy's convention begins with a parade of semi-relevant badass posturing and bragging. Weapons, usually heard about from video games or 'friends' with actual experience, are shared, while the slightly more subtle members of the herd make terrible jokes to attract loathsome females.
Tomorrow, a gathering of "Elite Tactical Delta Force Spetsnaz' veterans.
I lol'd. I can only use shotguns, and even then hunting semi-autos and over/ under shotguns are the only kind that I have any familiarity with.
It's pretty funny when you see people claim to be with skilled longswords and daggars and all that medieval shit. I mean how do they know theyre any good? They are proficient with these weapons compared to whom? and who the hell trained them?
