I’m trying to figure out the barracks situation for my stay there and wanted to know if anyone has done their training here recently that could give me some info, thanks !
Does anyone know anything about Sagami General Army Depot ? I just got my orders to there a few weeks ago and I haven't got a sponsor so I was wondering if anyone knows what they do over there. I know I'm going to 38th HHB ADA. This base hasnt shown up on any of the duty station threads.
Does anyone know the best load out for this place?
I literally can’t watch it without subtitles (because I can’t understand the words, and I’d miss most of the lines…. Vene-thuela, Vene-fwela, Vene-huela.…)
*edit: it’s not that I can’t understand any of the words, or the accent is too strong—it’s that there’s a lot of subtleties in the way they make puns, (Stewart’s GF’s name, Venezuela, etc.) and things go by so incredibly fast that I would miss a ton of clever references. …I also don’t know hockey slang so it’s way easier to look up when I can see it spelled.
I find myself saying "pert near" on the regular in conversations where I'm not trying to quote the show, and "Fuck a Duck" has long been part of my lexicon.
What about y'all?
I think he could be a degen or a hockey player or a hick.
A modern-day Bond tale.
Bulgaria has had 10 accidents around ammunition dumps since 1979. Many dumps are dedicated to disposing of obsolete and potentially dangerous soviet era weapons and explosives.
Gorni Lom is a tiny village in Bulgaria of less than 1000 people. Many of the towns people worked in the ammunition factory. On the 1st of October 2014, it exploded. 15 workers and 2 women died. The blast was large enough to be measured by seismic instruments. A national day of mourning was declared and the opposition candidate for prime minister cancelled events as a sign of respect. There had been two previous explosions at the same factory and so “human error” was the likely culprit.
A bit over 2 weeks later in the Czech Republic another explosion rocked Vrbetice on the 16th. 2 died in the warehouse owned by the Czech Army and leased to a private company. In 2015 the investigation into the blasts was suspended. The depot contained only small arms confusing observers on how such a massive explosion occurred.
A US Defence contractor died in Sopot in June 2015 at a Bulgarian state-owned armaments company. VMZ-Sopot had had 2 explosions in another warehouse in March and April of that year.
Years before in 2011 there had been an explosion at an EMCO building. The Czech arms depot had contained arms also owned by EMCO.
Emilian Gebrev
EMCO is a Bulgarian arms company owned by Emilian Gebrev. In April 2015 he fell into a coma. So did his son and the production director of EMCO. The three had been victim to nerve gas. Miraculously, all three survived. The nerve agent had been smeared on Gebrev’s car’s door handle. The nerve gas was similar to the type of Novichuk nerve agent which poisoned Sergei Skripal and his daughter in the UK which became an international incident in 2018 when the British determined Russia was the perpetrator and kicked out 23 Russian diplomats.
The Perpetrators
This April the Czech PM announced that the GRU were involved in the 2014 ammunition depot explosion. 2 GRU officers travelled to Prague in 2014 under false passports. They scheduled a visit to the Vrbetice ammo dump days before the explosion. The two men would use the same false passports when they poisoned Skripal in London 3 years later. 8 GRU operatives also travelled to Bulgaria in 2014 and 2015 and the Bulgarians and Czech governments are working together to look at the links between the explosions.
3 Russians were charged by Bulgarian Police for the attemp
