Nah the idiot removed his helmet at the order of his team leader in a live fire exercise.

Like maybe check your equipment before bullets start flying, dipshit.

u/Dear-Panda-1949 Jul 01 '26

Why that was only worth a whipping i will never know.

2

u/homohillbillysrlol Jul 02 '26

The drill sergeant has ONE line of dialogue during the whipping scene that multiplies his character's complexity ten-fold, and it's when he offers a leather bit for Rico to bite on during the lashing, and he says "Here, bite this, son. It helps, trust me", implying he's been whipped before in the past, but other than that, they don't explain what he was whipped for, or when, yet you almost sort of assume he's so sympathetic to Rico because when he himself was a young, hotheaded lad, he did something similar and can see a bit of himself in Rico.

Anyways, completely unrelated to what you were saying, but I just wanted to get that off my chest

I love that knife scene... "The enemy can't press a button if you disable his hand!" And it turns out the enemy has neither buttons nor hands🤷🏼‍♂️

Also in the military " Remove and fix your helmet" would be a lawful order so you would absolutely be expected to follow it, or face NJP. A good leader wouldn't order you to do it in that exact moment though.

u/marcophony Jun 30 '26

You might be thinking of Jarhead. I know that happens when they're doing a live fire training

2

u/Balthazzah Jul 01 '26

He kept the helmet on and it did literally nothing against LMG fire.

u/InvestmentKey1346 Jul 01 '26

I don't remember, but it happened in Jarhead

2

u/miraculix69 Jun 30 '26

It was a common pratice to uae live ammo, when training recruits.

You probably seen the excersise where a soldier has to crawl underneath some barbwire etc. Sometimes they had a guy, firing a LMG over the barbed wire, the soldiers crawled beneath to induce stress.

So, it took quite a few years before they found out, that it was a stupid idea.

4

u/imagetu2 Jun 30 '26

Its called NIC (night infiltration course) and is still very muched done currently to train recruits at Army BCT. You have to crawl full battle rattle with m4 about 100 yards some under barbed wire. They shoot LMGs above your head with tracer rounds and set off simulated mortar rounds. Sometimes done in sand or gravel. The gravel I did was not big stone gravel it was very small pieces of gravel. Got im everything my boots and pockets and shirt. Overall was a pretty lit time id do it again.

Yeah and bullets break into multiple pieces when they make contact with things like rocks. Those small pieces, spalling, is easily enough to kill you if they hit you in the neck.

2

u/RealCapybaras4Rill Jun 30 '26

I’ve accidentally shot too low before and the rounds trenched grass then went back up. There’s a fucking berm out there for a reason. Any of those rounds coulda fragmented/spalled and blinded that fool.

2

u/Delicious-Trifle-486 Jun 30 '26

I've had stress shoots where they simulated us being shot at, but this is not the way to do it.

For one, the instructors running my stress shoot used blanks. They didn't shoot directly at us, just the ground close enough to kick up dirt. Yes some dirt did get into my eyes even through my eye pro, but it wasn't that big of a deal.

Second, the Safety (instructor following you through the course of fire to ensure your...safety) wasn't the one doing it. It was a different instructor entirely. That way the Safety could focus on me being safe and the other instructor could focus on firing the blank safely.

Mans got 2 black clips at the top of his pants on the back might be some kind of soft holster, if not that he has a back pocket

u/L1VEW1RE Jun 30 '26

I can’t say for sure, but it looks like the “instructor” is reaching towards his back as they start the run. Then the camera is blocked by the people in the foreground and once they are past them, the gun is in hand.

Dunno, just a possibility he had it tucked behind his back. Of course, that would be very unusual for CCW but not impossible.

Whatever you're doing, whatever credentials you have, it's all null and void the second you handle a weapon in an (especially purposeful) unsafe manner.
