Pictured is the UK OSPREY which.. with all it's plates and attachments weighs more than some soldiers.

3 Point slung over the left arm. 3 point so I can use it as a 2, 3 or sling on my back if the AEG dies. Which is all the time. Have you tried attaching the sling into a plate carrier? I used to use a quick sling attached to the stock when I wore a carrier, that way the weight is distributed through the vest. Image attached shows the sling, T-Bar on the left goes through the D ring on the armour (or through a molle loop) and the other half fits to the rear sling loop.

Yup - a solid "HIT, great shot mate!" Glad that NAE has got a bit better... See above posts RE: 50% Arnies Team in the south - could look at a bigger outing next year, and mostly for the camping and rum.

How was the NAE? (Assume you went..) Haven't been for years because it devolved into angry groups of players shooting through hedges at other angry groups of players, neither hitting the other but all insisting that they hit the other.

Sounds like an allergy more than anything else? Sling touching bareskin or thin base layer allowing for the vest/sling to rub through.

Poetry.

The next 4 - 6 years of my career are focusing heavily on the 'Office' bit of officer.. chances to actually command anyone will be slim to none.

Work have given me a laptop, docking station, new keyboard and two rather large screens for the desk. The screens are good to hide behind, the keyboard is almost silent to type with and the laptop means I can now work.. from home.. 🙌

Can you confirm or deny the gargantuan size of the Lattes?

Delayed post, as I only really come on here during work hours.. 🙌 Had an epic day out to Longmoor on the 10th - great to put names to faces and a decent day out, still buzzing and set for the next one. I'd post a picture but hey, personal anonymity and all that. Anyone near the South that wants in?

Never heard of them.. Googled.. they look very nice. I want two. I used to rock a pair of revolvers instead of a belt kit just for the effect. Need that back.

I trust hip fire and "Get some" followed by "You want some? How 'bout you?" featured? If it didn't, have a word with yourself while watching Aliens, Predator and Commando on three screens simultaneously. I have post gym, cold showered, coffee in hand, puppy eating chew toy under my desk, car back from MOT, route planned to my dad's house to collect my last bit of airsoft kit (all dem plate carriers yo) and a crate of beers with my brother in law. Happy Friday.

But this is the happy thread. Paperwork isn't happy.

Background- I've never made it completely public to work that I play airsoft. It is somewhat of an underground activity in the military. Colonel: Hardcore, you're up for our input to Family's Day this year. I've heard of this airsoft stuff. I'd like a battle arena. Me: Ack that colonel, i've not a clue where to start with this. Will get on it immediately. *internal laughing* Additionally, JSP101 (Defence Writing - how to put things into army words) has been amended to include "Weasel Words". It forbids the use of management jargon like 'piece', 'sphere' and 'utilise'. Example - Utilising the forum sphere, we're talking about the airsoft piece. Now "Using the forum we're talking about airsoft". So happy.

Wait.. What are these? How do I own them. They're amazing.
