Damn he got a lever action rifle instead of a musket! The Guard is moving up in the world.
As long as that some bitch was 357 he would be alright lol
Pretty sure that was a Daisy Red Rider lol
Question is, does it actually fire?
AndrewRodden , Gotta be careful with that damn thing, Shoot your eye out.
Scouts Out
Haha he got a BB gun.
As a guard vet I find the video credible and accurate.
That sucks. We had the Vietnam era crap for drill weekends. When we deployed in '09, we got brand new gear.
When I went on deployment I was active duty and I saw the national guard and reserves units, they looked a mess lol this video is very accurate
@@peejay9367 what year was that?
Amen , brutha, Amen.
Current deployments for guard is a breeze most of these guard unit have M9s and are in control of force pro. Its fucking cush most of the time aka all the time they try to get the actual taskforce to do shit for them.
Edit: that is my experience with national guard in iraq on my FOB personally I dont know about afganistan or other FOBs or TAAs
“I had to dig up Abraham Lincolns grave to get you this”
To be fair, the Taliban uses Jezails. You could still kill some of them with that lever action.
Dead 🤣
Wisemankugel Memicus yea a lever action is a fairly powerful rifle. They shoot .45 rounds and certain lever rifles have a bigger caliber.
Man they'll go full auto ak on his ass 💀💀
@@yaboi1288 Doesn't matter. Lever-action rifles are still rifles. They can still kill you with a single well-placed shot. And you can fire very quickly with one with proper practice.
We got you some ACOG scopes...
But no batteries 🤣🤣🤣
Army issued ACOGs take batteries? 🧐
Acogs don't use batteries tho they run off of tritium
Lol you sir, are fake news
There's no way they get ACOGs. Those things are expensive. They probably tape twigs to the gun and call them iron sights.
Fiber optic and tritium no batteries
National Guard finally getting some love 👌👌

“Oh course you were playing you joined a part time military” i swear ima get bullied into joining active😭💀
Legit almost got sent on deployment with ballistic plates, no vest. Was really about to be out here with plates duct taped to my OCPs. Was in my unit for a year and a half before deploying, didn't go to the range. Didn't do my job once until pre-mob.... wtf?
Holy shit
Yeeeeee i had .50 cals missing their firing pins issued on my last deployment since the one back at our home station weren't functional. That was interesting.
Sounds about right

The Reserves catch a lot of flak but there is one thing to remember, in WW2 90% of our Naval Officers were Reservists and they did a great job.
That just means reserve units that time were not full of craps like today.
Navy reserve is a totally different beast. They actually give a shit about their reservists, unlike the Army. -an ex Army reservist

I was active duty for 8 yrs and guard for 4 years (2000-2011) with 2 tours in Iraq and one in Afghanistan during my total time I served. Honestly the guard unit I was in had some pretty damn good equipment. I realize and understand why the NG and reserves get made fun of all the time and a lot of it is true, but I was very lucky because my NG unit was made up of mostly guys that had come off active duty like me.
abraham lincolns grave... LMAO 😂
lol
☠️
Reminds me of when I went off with the guard off active and got sent to Iraq lol
No armor on our vehicles they just gave us metal sheets and said weld these on your doors to help you feel safer . Lol
Mad Max uparmour those were the days
Sounds more like they were trying to off you
pitbull956 Same thing happened to active duty 2004-2005. We had to weld our mounts and had to put sandbags around to convoy from Kuwait to Iraq. I broke a finger because my driver slammed on breaks and through me across the front of the hood holding a M249 because we couldn’t weld it to the vehicle.

"Hey, can I get a number 5 with a side of we screwed, and a large we ain't gonna make it out of this bitch?" 😂 damn that whole video comedy
hahah. True story. When I joined my first guard unit in 2008 they legit issued me a vietnam flac vest, desert cammos from the 90's (Had two sets of woodland Cammos i actually drilled with), a korean war era m-51 cold weather hat (still have to this day), and some other odds and ends. When I volunteered to deploy on my first iraq tour with another unit they all laughed at me when I showed up with that flak vest. Luckily they issued us all newish uniform gear at the mob site before we went over.
That hat has been around longer than my family has been in America
Got assigned webbing from the early 90’s last year, not sure what the American equivalent is but most of my gear is older than me.
American equivalent would be the ALICE system. PLCE is... better? Not MOLLE, but at least your not being handed the old '58 patterns like they did in the 90s
There's pics around that show guys in Iraq in about 2003 still wearing M1967 Web gear... Some of it admittedly from SOFs and fellas who personally collected items, but still amazing old stuff can hang around
Getting 80's Alice gear. Or a 0331 (machine gunner) getting an M40 instead of an M249.
And it better be clean when you turn it back in.
you british reservist mate ??
Been AGR since 2005, right off of active duty...lmao thisnl is pretty spot on😂😂
Anthony Carrello how do you that? Serious question?
We’ve got M16’s, it’s just that some of them still have one-piece carry handle uppers and triangular handguards.
Non Partisan Gun Owner just FYI, those are super rare and insanely valuable. An true OG M16 with carry handle and triangle hand guard is probably worth 15X what a normal M4 costs.
Those are the A1's. Those are collector's items.
@@robertmorris8997 our reservist still using M16A1 xD
I was in the guard after active duty, which was the worst choice I ever made in the Army.
This is 100000% accurate. We had absolute crap for gear/weapons.

Gatorade Oreos Dude working retail can be pretty fucking bad. Not as bad as military combat, but pretty fucking bad. Especially with all these entitled ass people who think that everybody is going to give them what they want, for free “because the customer is always right”.
The majority of military combat service is hurry up and wait anyways, so the majority of the time your out there your walking around and waiting for the enemy to appear and vis versa for the other guy. Meanwhile the retail dude is getting their shit treatment constantly, from the first minute of his shift to an hour after the shift was going to end(boss said you have to stay an extra unpaid hour or be fired). Its not bullets and rockets whistling over your head, but that kind of work is its own special type of hell.

Leonidas did pretty damn good in it fighting Xerxes 😂😂😂
He was actually one of the first ones to die in battle
@@dynasty33677in the last battle on like day 4 yeah
I was active duty then switched to the guard. Soldiering part is nearly an impossible task. It was a struggle to improvise good training for my soldiers and maintenance schedules are a pipe dream. If we spend a weekend cleaning weapons that’s a month where that is all the soldier did and learned nothing. The military knows this which is why they are considering if they haven’t already implemented more than one weekend a month. But then that takes away from your civilian job. It’s a balancing act you don’t have to worry about when full time.
This is years old but my unit starting drilling 3-5 days a month for that exact reason. 2 weeks in the summer turned to a month
Hey you always want the guard medic that is paramedic as his full time job
EXACTLY..my unit (aviation) is filled with them..EMT'S, firefighters, policeman, border patrol, etc...guys who can actually do well in the civilian world too..
I'm a LVN, now, and joining reserves, but Air Force. It was either 18 X-ray special forces Army, or Navy Seal Sarc, or joining the reserves and finishing my education, and becoming a Doctor. I think it's better I become a doctor and surgeon, versus a gun, plus I'm already 26. Time to get on it. I just need to lose 20lbs for the air force. Off to the gym I go now.
I guess you told the future the covid 19 going on
Kyle Sexton did you enlist?
This isn’t more true today. Was working the riots in Minneapolis. The biggest advantage to guard medics is many are street medics, flight medics, nurses or PAs full time. Most the active medics are still only EMTs.
Next a gladius and hoplite shield
Hell that's all I had, despite the fact that revolvers and Henry's were available. (brand new too)
@@fireline4765 Why do you think the Romans were so effective
Next up, a boiled leather cuirass.
And that'd be a Xiphos. The Gladius is a roman thing. But hoplites favoured the Dory, a long ass spear. The hoplite shield was called the Hoplon.
@False Feathers or upon it but yeah xD
but do we get ammo for the gladius and a battery for the shield?
I'm retired Army Res and I shot and qual with the M4 the first and last time about a year before retirement!! I was in 24yrs; all the time before that was just M16 because none of the units I was in didn't get them...the struggle is real!
My hands if you keep asking questions 🤦🏿😂😂
CIF - where the customer is always wrong
You ain't never lied...😉😂🤣
😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂👍
Bruhh... MAKE THAT A SHIRT!
fuck i just angry reading this comment lol shits never clean for them. like this is how i got it.
Except this isn't CIF. Guard units issue out gear directly to their own soldiers, which means the unit owns the gear they issue, not CIF. Depending on the command, the unit may be limited to only as much gear as they rate per to&e. In other words, if the unit is overstaffed, someone's not gonna have gear. The same goes if someone leaves the unit and doesn't turn in their gear. The unit won't get replacement unless the missing gear report is filed and funding is approved to procure replacement gear.
That said, I've seen guard units deployed with A2s and the old M4s with triangle hand guards, lol. And no, they didn't have optics either, straight iron sights.
Damn a spartan helmet, they really be upgrading the gear in the reserve
I’ve never served in the military, but I can’t get enough of these videos 😆
1:06 yall aint got no more m16s?
We got m8s 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I think he said "nah we got M-H tho.... MY HANDS"
MiVidaBellisima What like M8 paper? Cause M8 isn’t a gun lol
WeBe Flexin the M8 is a gun, it’s a tried and failed weapon that was tested as a replacement service weapon for the M4 for the Army
The XM8 was a beautiful weapon. But apparently the military didn't fuck with it. But yeah he said M-H...My Hands. I thought he said M8 too. I was like "I want an M8"
DoubleEM Castillano DoubleEM Castillano it would be too expensive to work out the problems with it to have been used as a service weapon. From the hand guards not keeping you from burning your hands to the hand guards actually melting from too many rounds (the gun was mostly composite plastic material), and having a battery powered electronic sight with really unreliable battery times, it was not a good choice after testing. After they’d fixed everything it would be too costly and weigh more than the already existing service weapons. Also note that it didn’t have a Picatinny rail system which was even more money in some cases. The XM8 was supposed to be a two in one weapon system but the Army has ordered (and suspended) the order to make better variants of the XM8 in two separate weapon systems first. The first one being a rifle, the second one being an air bust weapon. We only have the first one and it was suspended before they designed an air burst weapon. If they ever finish, the two weapons will be merged into one. But with the Marines implementation of the M27 IAR, I think it’s safe to call the XM8 a protect that will never happen. Eventually the Army is going to hop on board and go with the IAR as well
Our route clearance guys just had to step on stuff to make sure it wasn't IEDs.

I joined the Guard in 1987. My M-16 had been manufactured under contract by General Electric in 1971. It was loose as Susie Rottencrotch in high school. This was a commo unit, ok? I drove a deuce and a half, which carried a TRC-110 commo van. It had been built by Packard in 1956!
As an ARNG soldier with multiple deployments to the sand box and being close to retirement, I have one thing to say about this damn video...
...you right, you right!!!
This is so relatable. Though I have yet to be deployed as a guardsman, my armory is just so empty and the weapons we do have either need maintenance or non-existent
Honestly sounds like shitty PBOs and supply specialists. Big army can't send you gear if they have no clue that you're short gear. There are army depots full of serviceable gear from the post coldwar and post GWOT draw downs. And old but servicable gear is better than no gear at all
I can tell this is ACTUAL footage from the national guard because they are the only ones that would allow THAT beard in uniform.

M4's with EoTech optics, AT4's, Tac-Satellite radio, Warlock system, Sat phone, and NVG's. But....I did PSD for "VIP's" who had the pull to acquire said equipment.

Content is always funny bro. I must say though I plan on joining the ANG sometime this year and I know some will comment and say it’s a waste of time and go active but not all of us are in that kind of position. Got a family and a good job but want something more out of life and to have some more experience. I know I should’ve went active duty years ago but life hit me in a different way and now the National Guard is the perfect fit for me. Just depends on what you want out of it and if I need to buy my own gear I got the money for it.
Well said man, right now I don’t know if I should go for marine reserve or NG

I’ve deployed three times with the guard, twice to Afghanistan and once to Kuwait.... I’ve also done two stateside mobilizations since 9-11 for 9 and 22 months respectively.... I have always gotten new equipment, and lots of it.....
Now, the reserves get effed because of how the money gets divided, and active army being able to take back funds from the reserves if they haven’t spent it, but once funds go to Guard Bureau they can’t take it back unless it hasn’t been spent at the end of the year.
