Because I'm super tactical. D class trolls will get you killed in the streets. So will unload show clear.

Word is, ISIS and various street gangs are teaching their goons to yell "unload show clear" during firefights. It's too bad some of my fellow operators violated OPSEC and pointed that out on a public forum for bad guys to learn.

Growing a beard is a sure sign of tacticality.

My muscle memory won't allow me to unload show clear. That's for sheep, and I'm a sheepdog.

I just tell the RO to back off while I operate and keep the sheep gamers safe. I use an authoritive command voice and presence, so they have no choice but to stand down.

It's all moot without a full, long beard. No way one can have a command presence without an operator beard.

I do grow a beard when operating OCONUS, so as to blend in with indigenous operators. When operating within CONUS, I prefer clean shaven so as not to draw attention. A sheepdog can't effectively sheepdog when he is easily identifiable as such. Be the gray man.

Deep, you've really thought this through.

I can never be tactical!!

I'm still curious how shooters deal with a "dick" RO?
Conversely, how RO's deal with a shooter being a "dick?"

I'm guessing that you wait and then irritate the snot out of them on the internet??

ah geez.

We have enough problems with HQ, and here we are fighting with eachother.

Sporky, when I started USPSA, I thought alot of people holding the timers were being mean to me. Turns out, I was making them nervous. They were nervous because of my actions. They could tell I was new, becuase I was kind of crazy. Squirting bullets all over the range, missing the targets every other shot, etc. When I became better, RO's could tell and now I rarely experience mean RO's.

I encourage you to become involved in a local club and learn the sport. It can be very rewarding to not only do well, but watch your friends do well.

Good luck!

If you try to troll and then you're the one getting butthurt, you're not doing it right.

The last guy that admitted to trolling got perma banned. Beware of mods.
