when you were in iraq did you always have the same exact gun? or do you trade off now and then/get replacements etc? Did it suck to turn it in when you got out?
Well you're supposed to have your rifle EVERYWHERE you go, and lord help you if you forget it (happened to me once). But on convoys we had to mount our machine guns, and those we changed every so often. My baby was the .50 cal. I was an actual instructor on it as it so happened, and it was the most intimidating of the 3 machine guns we used, which made people stop a lot further away from our convoys. When you come back to the states you have to turn your rifle into the armory, which BLOWS HAIRY ASSHOLES. After I came back, they game me a new rifle, because my old one was "old silver sides". It was literally from Vietnam, and had been so used it all the finish was worn off, leaving bare aluminum. The pic is of the .50 though.
