that is way too many words not to have a half naked chick thrown in there. next time you have a post that big i better see some ass or i refuse to read it

 

no i cross draw my asp. and we dont even use them... we have our 4d cell maglites that we use instead of our asps. if we use our asps we have to write a memo... maglites are memo free . but i can draw it left and use it lefty too. but if i am going to have a secondary in my hand its going to be my KA BAR TDI

Sir yes sir

 

* I'm Not a Flight Attendent, that would be those Pussy Loadmasters.. hahaha*

But other than that, MM hit it on the button, currently out here, I personally just Handle the Cargo aspect, Processing it in the computer building the pallets, and loading them on the Plane, There is a couple other guys that handle the Pax stuff..

 

Haha whatever is the least amount of paper work. I didn't carry a big flashlight. I carried a monadnock baton which at the time was better than an asp since it has a button to collapse it and each shaft spins on its own to prevent someone from taking it from you in a struggle, I also had the self locking holder to prevent someone from taking it off my belt. Of course a triple retention holster. Hinged cuffs for better control. I put my important equpiment up front or on the sides since I am rather petite my advantage is on the ground in a fight and I wanted to be able to get to certain gear in a scuffle. It worked out well for me, but I switched things up a few times at first before I figured it out. I liked using OC . Of course a knife is a good tool also, mine was hooked into the front of my underbelt.

Yeah I looked at how everyone else had there stuff, asked why alot then determined what best fit my needs. Since I'm pretty petite I had to figure out the safest places for my equipment, a lot of the guys have similar set ups to each other, mine was the most different. They didn't get tasers here till the year I left. I didn't carry gloves and other stuff on my belt cause I didn't have enough room.

We need areas for LE and military chat .

 

chillin at a bar


and workin out at the gym...

holy fuck. you could play frisbee with those 45's

 

i dont think thats a good reason for you to have your belt uniform... you should have it set up for your usage only. but i guess everyones policys are different... we dont get tasers.... yet lol. and going back to my knife... its only going to be if i have to "STOP A THREAT" its for if they grab my gun. i lock down on there and and with my left unsheath
it and a good strike across the... well LEO's understand thats a deadly force move so you can guess what i would do.
