ok as an airborne personal I have to say you suck... that cadence blows.. nothing personalMaddOps wrote:
I bring the horror to you with all the spiffy variants. This is for blowing me up when I played against you a few weeks ago on the J4F server.
C-130 rolling down the strip
Airborne daddy on a one way trip
Mission uncertain, destination unknown
We don't know if we're ever coming home
Stand up, hook up, shuffle to the door
Jump right out and count to four
If my main don't open wide
I got another one by my side
If that one should fail me too
Look out ground I'm coming through
Slip to the right and slip to the left
Slip on down, do a PLF
Hit the drop zone with my feet apart
Legs in my stomach and feet in my heart
If I die on the old drop zone
Box me up and ship me home
Pin my wings upon my chest
Bury me in the leaning rest
If I die in the Spanish Moors
Bury me deep with a case of Coors
If I die in Korean mud
Bury me deep with a case of Bud
If I die in a firefight
Bury me deep with a case of Lite
If I die in a German blitz
Bury me deep with a case of Schlitz
If I die, don't bring me back
Just bury me with a case of Jack
Variations on this rendition include the words "Ranger" or "momma" in place of Daddy following Airborne in the second line. Another 'cleaner' variation on this cadence:
C-130
C-130 rolling down the strip,
Airborne daddy's gonna take a little trip.
Stand-up, Hook-up, shuffle to the door,
Jump right out and count to four.
But if my main don't open wide,
I've got another by my side.
And if that one should fail me too,
Look out ground, I'm coming through.
Ruck sack, jump boots, and my M-16,
That's' all that's going on the jump with me.
Gonna slip to the right, and slip to the left,
Slip right on down to the PLF.
And if I die in the old drop zone,
Box me up and ship me home.
Then tell my girl I did my best,
And bury me in the leaning rest!
Dress me up in my dress blues,
Spit-shined jump boots, no straight leg shoes.
Pin my wings upon chest,
Tell my mom I did my best
Another variant:
C-130
C-130 Rolling down the strip.
Airborne daddy on a one-way trip.
Mission unspoken, destination unknown.
They don't even know if they'll ever come home.
Stand up hook up, shuffle to the door.
Jump right out and count to four.
If my main don't open wide.
I've got a reserve my by side.
If that one don't fail me too.
Look out ground, I'm a comin through
Pin my medals upon my chest,
and bury me in the leaning rest.
When I get to heaven.
St. Peter's gonna say.
How'd you earn your livin?
How'd you earn your pay?
And I will reply with a little bit of anger:
Earned my pay as an Recon Ranger
An amusing variant that I don't think they use on parent day or the 4th of July parade:
C-130
C-130 going down the strip
blew a tire and the muthafucka flipped
Well the C-130 ain't flying today
Air Force pilot went UA
Mission top secret destination unknown
so his sorry ass just stayed at home
The Colonel had a mission that he had to complete
So he reached for the phone down at his feet
He thought just a second then he said "What the Heck"
dialed 1-800-LEATHER NECK
And another, this one not quite as amusing, but still not bad:
C-130
C-130 rollin down the strip,
Airborne daddy gonna take a little trip.
Stand up, buckle up, shuffle to the door,
Jump right out and count to four.
If my chute don't open wide,
I'll be splattered on the countryside.
If my chute don't open wide,
I got another one by my side.
If that chute don't open neither,
I'll say hi to ol' St. Peter.
If I die on the ol' drop zone,
Pack me up and ship me home.
Bury me in the leanin' rest,
Tell my folks I did my best.
Here'S another:
C-130
I don't know but I think I might
Jump from an airplane while in flight
Soldier, soldier, have you heard
I'm gonna jump from a big iron bird
Up in the morning in the drizzlin' rain
Packed my chute and boarded the plane
C-130 rollin' down the strip
64 Rangers on a one-way trip
Mission Top Secret, destination unknown
They don't know if their ever coming home
When my plane gets up so high
Airborne troopers gonna dance in the sky
Stand up, hook up, shuffle to the door
Jump right out and count to four
If my main don't open wide
I got a reserve by my side
If that one should fail me too
Look out ground, I'm a-coming through
If I die on the old drop zone
Box me up and ship me home
Bury speakers all around my head
So I can rock with the Grateful Dead
Bury speakers all around my toes
So I can rock with Axl Rose
If I die on a Chinese hill
Take my watch or the commies will
If I die in the Korean mud
Bury me with a case of Bud
Put my wings upon my chest
And tell my Mom I did my best

'Napalm sticks to kids' was good.
'I wanna be an <insert random unit>' was only tolerable if some of the lyrics were changed.
Example;
I wanna be a cunning linguist
I want a job that uses my tongue.
I wanna be a chairborne ranger
Paper cuts my only danger
or, a very different version of another cadence;
I hear the pizza man a'comin'
he comes to bring me pizza
he comes to bring me beer...
Screwing around, I've heard Nitzer Ebb's "Join in the Chant" used as a cadence
(lyrics modified slightly)
In the same unit, the Bill Murray 'stripes' cadence was attempted a couple times
"boom chaka laka" or something like that. Never worked quite right.
Worst cadences ever;
'A little bird'
'Tiny bubbles'
'c130'

British army best soldiers crappest kit lol
That'd explain the British troops looking like little kids on Christmas morning, whenever they were around our (American) 'kit'. Still didn't stop them from bitching about our 'instant coffee', M-16's, and everything else.
mostly good natured 'flak'. The stereotypical respose was to give them crap about the L85, and ask 'are you sure this operation isn't going to interfere with Tea Time?'
'British best army soldiers' um, dunno about that.. debate that point with you. Over beer and 'chips', as all such debates are supposed to be properly discussed. Brits are a bit more .. creative.. with C4, compared to the American use of prepackaged explosives (claymore, bangalore, etc, etc). Can learn alot from a Brit Demo guy..
you talking about a CVC bag?rdx-fx wrote:

Just don't stomp on it while it's burning. THAT might cause it to detonate.
Burning it is okay - stepping on it, and throwing it is okay. just don't do both at once
Although, personally - I've never trusted that theory enough to burn a whole block of it.
(and, if you're a Jihadi - Please, Please, Please try that trick with semtex or any of the crap you use)
</evil grin>
a few shavings off of a magnesium block is plenty enough to get a small fire going.
A bit of thermite is more than enough to get an 'impress the locals' fire going
C4 = Playdough for Pyros
Funny story (pre 9/11);
Me, going through an airport passenger security screening line.
Had been flying around the US/Canada/Mexico (for a work project) for the last 2 months, nonstop.
Was carrying my army-green courier bag as a carry-on item.
(canvas shoulder bag, 12"x10"x2", with MI/EN/FA branch insignia patches on it)
It'd been with me almost my entire time in the Army.
Was the perfect size to carry 8 blocks of C4, plus pens/maps/various 'kit'
Security Screener: Um.. will you step over here please? There's a problem with your bag.
Me: Oh! really? oh, yeah.. duh! It probably tested positive for RDX/C4
(I was looking over at another screener, holding my bag and a chemical swabbing patch..)
<Security Screener #1 looks like he can't decide whether to crap his pants on the spot, or let his eyes pop out of their sockets>
A 'friendly' 5 minute discussion took place.
My end of the discussion was 'I WAS an Army Engineer. 3 years ago. That bag probably saw 1/2 a ton of C4 go through it - a few years ago. It's probably still got traces embedded in the fabric. No, I don't have any now. I would quite like to keep my bag - for sentimental reasons. Don't know why you're so concerned - I'm one of the 'good guys'.
The look on that screener's face, when I just matter-of-factly mentioned that my bag probably had C4 residue on it = Priceless. Rather not bright of me to just unthinkingly blurt that out, but...
alright, the kind you could put a few TMs in. Or high explosives, whatever floats your boatrdx-fx wrote:
no, the smaller shoulder bag. Almost big enough to fit a standard 2" 3-ring binder in it, but not quite.GunSlinger OIF II wrote:

One shoulder strap, and the cover has two snaps down towards the bottom of it.
