That is exactly right. That is workshop discipline. That is one of the things that make the Danish Navy able to keep at sea so consistently. After 3 months (or whatever) you fly in the relief crew. If the relief crew is not by inspection satisfied with that every last spanner is in its proper place, then the relieved chief is not relieved. Simple as that.

@@Fat_Ninjah Oh, yes! RDaAF killed most of its pilots due to poor workshop discipline. I heard an old controller talk about a T-33 where a screwdriver got loose at the top of a loop and blocked the tailplane control wires. As he said: "They scream so horroribly all the way to the ground." But that was one of the reasons the RDaAF has/had so pathetic generals: They were the only ones left after the grim reaper had chopped heads off. Same with weapons: Allways assume stolen weapons are in the hands of criminals - because they are. One once stole a Centurion. What really made them wonder was: How the devil they got it started - which in a Centurions is far from easy - unless you know what you are doing. Sort of limits the scope of possible perpetrators.

In Marine Corps boot camp we literally slept with our rifles, which we were ordered to keep inside our sleeping bags, flesh touching steel/balls-to-barrels. Most of us also wrapped the sling around our leg as extra protection against the Drill Instructors doing Ninja raids hoping to catch a recruit fucking up by having an unsecured weapon. It wasn't and likely still isn't an option in boot camp/basic training, but out in the fleet you learn to "dummy cord"(= tie paracord to your gear so you don't loose it like a dummy!) your gear to your pack and/or web gear. Even the Recon guys did this, because no matter how locked-on/high speed/badass you are...shit happens.

Ha, Drill Sergeants love doing this during basic. Usually, If they're able to penetrate your AO during field training, everyone gets smoked. And they make sure you know who is responsible for the smoke session. I was lucky, some other platoon got infiltrated first, so we got to learn from their mistakes. I honestly thought it was fun trying to catch sneaky Drill Sergeants. Plus, field training exercises are when you get to play with the big guns.

i cannot agree more than that, during my basic training in the french military reserve, at the moment we got our Famas from the gunsmith, the instructors told us to never let it alone, even when going to the toilets or shower, anf they often tried to sneak on us during instruction to steal some guns, but especially when we were on the field, a guy from my section let his helmet and his gun unwatched to make a coffee, and when he came back they were gone, this leaded to a huge reprimand and global punition, but it teached all of us to never let a weapon or any military gear unsecured .

Looming after your lit means do up your pouches, put your hat and gloves in your pockets or an empty pouch. If you need to take stuff out of your pockets to sleep out in in an empty stuff sack and then put that in a pouch or your back etc etc. you should also be able to find your kit all the time even if you can’t see it, eg in the dark with no light. You should know mentally where all your shit is all the time. After a while it will become instinctive, but you have to work at it to start with. A few dips in an ice cold creek while you retrieve your kit which an NCO has thoughtfully thrown in accelerates learning process.

One of the primary purposes of basic training is to instil the principle of being accountable for your own actions (and omissions) - this video is a good illustration of how simple failure to look after your kit can destroy your effectiveness as a soldier and thus impair the effectiveness of your unit. Hopefully the soldiers in the video learned their lesson and will not make the same mistake again.

One bloke without his boots!!! he following debrief from the Platoon Commander was colourful to say the least. They ran a good two miles in full CEMO! I spent many nights on exercise/operations (when I could sleep) asleep with my boots on and my weapon in my scratcher. Would take probably 90 seconds to pack my sh*t away the moment the first round went off/stand to got called. Despite being told again and again recruits will often fall foul in this aspect because they have not yet become conditioned or tiredness has made them lazy. Old soldiers can do it as well because they have become complacent.

The only way I have found to deal with this sort of thing is to make up little check lists and do those things EVERY SINGLE TIME THAT EVENT HAPPENS until you do not even think about it any more IE Open a pocket scrunch up a toe and do not unscrunch that toe till that thing is closed again , take 10 steps check your pockets to make sure nothing has fallen out , Set up a shelter walk around it to look fr anything that has fallen off or is sticking out from under or around it , before taking off a glove or hat open a pocket to put it in , only unpack your sleeping gear before you are about to get into it, stop to eat take off one boot at a time put in some foot powder and change the socks , Before going to sleep take the mag out of the rifle clear the action run an oily patch down the bore and over the bolt before resembling, Pass a large structure take out your compass and confirm you are where you think you are with the map . The things is this stuff becomes habits that follow you after you leave the military and can look strange to other people

Every piece of gear you are packing is to save your life, perform your duties and integrated with the troops to your left and right. You take care of everything, your gear, your body. your weapons and your body. During the Vietnam war, discarded C ration cans, dud artillery rounds, C ration cans were all used by the VC to improvise weapons. Tie an empty ca up in a tree, pull the pin on a grenade and slide it in the can. Someone brushes the bush or tree with the booby trap and you or the guy behind you gets it. Recovered dud rounds become land mines. A 12v battery left with a rocket in a clearing can be used for random fire. the rocket is propped on some sticks, wired to the "dead" battery. When the sun warms the battery it will probably generate enough power to launch the rocket. Trash can be used in wire entanglements to warn of enemy intrusion. Hang cans in the wire with some rocks in it, bump the wire and there is a rattle. Anyone going into a hot zone should add some 6 to 8 lb fishing line to their kit. Two cans with rocks in them, with fishing line stretched between them make one hell of a racket. Stretch them randomly on like lines of approach to your perimeter. I actually used this when someone tried to break into my shed. I figured they would be back and they were. They got tangled in three trip wires, made on hell of a racket running away! Fishing line is nearly invisible in daylight and impossible to see at night. You can create all kinds of non lethal noise makers to alert you at night. Obviously the same can be applied to lethal traps, depending on the rules of engagement.

Well, the second in command of my conscript squadron tried that infantile trick of snatching somebody's rifle when they weren't looking. Drill sergeants generally end up as schoolteachers - so that is the standard you have to expect. Being a moron as that captain was, he of course forgot all about it. When he returned the entire squadron was looking in every nook and cranny (it was a submashine gun, thinking back) after the ruddy firearm, as the poor sod had of course reported it missing - such a thing as a firearm HAS TO BE found - no matter what. Finally the captain had to confess that he had taken the gun. I met the same captain years after my discharge on the train. After roasting him for his military incompetence - and I had a lot of examples. Their doghandling among them - not that I was a subject matter expert; but I had seen real doghandlers work. One thing you DO NOT do is letting your dog run after a suspect - if it is the nasty enemy, he is probably commando trained and kill your dog and you with his pocket knife, what you DO is report the incident, maybe keep the moron running dropping gear. Then the officer will send out a squad and ambush the suspect. Special forces jerk do not respond well to an MG42 belt through the reciever at 20 yards - there is 100 rounds in such a belt. Now the captain on the train was heavily chastised, as I had proven the military incompetence to such a degree that the security officer committed suicide. Then I calmly remarked that the captain and his discipline had the distinctive ring of: "Dann haben wir andere Metoden!" Now what you do as a mate is looking out for your mates and secure the kit before the bacteria-brained NCO has his fun. That is the standard you are expected to live up to - everybody can slip up - and part of being a soldier is to be there for your mates. Now proper tactics are that you have homeguard units around the area that catch the enemy way before they get that close. That is the reason why there is an infantry BTN extra to a brigade so the combat unit can rest. But Matsimus advice is sound. Now once on guard duty I dropped a magasine - and did not notice I had lost a cartridge - submashine guns are a nuiscance. Well it was found by a worker, that was also a home guardsman, and he gave it to me - so there would be no fuss. My bit of advice is: Ok, look after your kit; but more importantly: Be there for your mate!

Double check your equipment during a Corps level IG inspection, make DAMNED SURE nobody stuffed a white sweat sock in your backpack. 😁 (Next tip: how to handle a stuck flag during retreat while YOU'RE pulling it down....while the regimental Command Sergeant Major breathing down your neck)

WTF - How can you forget / not secure your personal weapon? I can see back-squading in their future. A liability to the remainder of the unit. Hopefully they recorded the serial number of their weapon?

In the Home Guard we once had a burglary in the depot, and the depot sergeant - old tanker - had slipped up and not driven some handgrenades to the proper storage facility - and they were of course stolen. What was worse, a washed out (probably cashiered) regular army soldier thought it was great fun to throw them into a school gym. The police and the auditor got the poor sod in for questioning. And they said straight up: "Now what we want to know is HOW many was stolen and HOW MUCH was stolen. The other thing we will deal with later." Then he was smart enough to make a clean breast of it. Now later - and I saw the chap going up to the majors office - those stairs had never been taken with less alacrity - NEVER! Much relieved he came to chat with me. He had of course offered his resignation. Then the major showed leadership (he was definately not a military genius) of the highest standing. He said: "Nonsens! You will get a reprimand in Your papers, and so will I for not keeping You under proper supervision. If I can live with a reprimand, so can You!" It needed to be added, that the major had been in concentration camp during the war (Neuengamme to be precise), so he did not scare easily - he had tried worse.

I was in the very last platoon to be trained the old way. We used to get screamed at, then we got breasted all over the hill's. And we also got lots of punches and kicks from our training staff. I hated having to go against the wall with your back, in a sitting position. And hold a fire extinguisher out infront of you. It was a toss up which gave in first, your legs or your arm's. All the while watching the next new platoon below us being trained the new way, if they mucked up. They had to sing or dance for the training staff. We knew from day one never to leave our kit out like this lot. But I like the guy who stays with the rest of the platoon, while the others get punished. He hasn't got a weapon. But he nips in and grabs one when they all get back from punishment, and sent for their kit. He played a fly one.

Or as my instructor eloquently put it: 'HELMET VEST WEAPON HELMET VEST WEAPON! It doesn't matter if you're naked, if only you have HELMET VEST WEAPON!' I'm pretty sure that even now ten years later you could fire a cannon right next to a sleeping classmate from those days and immediatly ask them what they need most, and they'd still reply 'helmet vest weapon'. ^_^

Dont be that Blue Falcon (Buddy Fkr) and turn your back on your rifle, even leaning against you. Drill Sergeants are fast ninjas at stealing your gear. I had to low crawl through prickly weeds to pick up my battle buddy's scattered gear by the DS during FTX.

Im guessing all the trainees that weren't missing kit were just so damned tired they crawled into their sleeping bags without taking off their boots, helmets and camel backs or dropping their rifles.

The US Navy is kinda cheap. For boot they make you fold, iron, stack and arrange your personal belongings EXACTLY a certain kind of way, but you dont get much "kit" outside of clothes. You get one locked locker about the size of a shoe box for... things...you don't own anything but you get it anyway. One dude decided he was tired of washing, ironing, and folding his underwear and our RDC (Navy Drill instructor) found out he was locking up his dirty undies by smell. The literal shit storm of flying locker material and shitty skivies was epic. Without getting anybody in trouble...the PT was brutal.

There is another important lesson to be drawn from this: How do ordinary footsloggers deal with highly trained commandoes? Well, first of all: Don't enter into hand to hand combat with them - they will win every time - and you only get yourself killed. A commando dig himself in - literarily burying himself. The best way of dealing with him is: First of pretend you haven't seen or noticed anything - and your dog was wrong. Then report so you can get reinforcements - any patrolling has a reinforcement - on call. Now the trick is to get the reinforcement in place and make the commando break cover and run - don't catch him - keep him running. It will mean you will be shooting at something that isn't there. But the important thing is: Make the sod lose his kit - if you can force him into wading in a stream and get him wet and miserable. One of the nicest things I've heard of was one that sneaked in and turned the fuel supply to the generator off. Then he withdrew and watched the consternation as power supply vanished, Not only that, but they could not understand why the generator was not working, so they called for a repair crew. The trick is make them panic and shoot at each other. Now the Danish crown prince is/was a Navy Seal. (which incidentally is good thing: A VIP is much easier to protect if he/she has some military background and is not a porcelain-frail little old lady.) During an exercise one of the royal estates was a "No-go Area". Of course the crown prince cheated - naturally. What did the Home Guard do? Well they put up some old uniforms as dummies at selected spots, so when the SEALS tried to sneak out in the dead of night they came across these "sentries" - that had an uncanny patience. So as not to give themselves away the SEALs had to stay put the entire night. Which was more or less the object of the guarding of the area.

Devyx much of these type of soldiers don’t care, because they know it’s a bogus assault, 98% is that they will flee the first bullet is fired, you know why, its because they’re getting paid to be there🤑, they’re there to collect a pension and retirement funds
