Airsofting and the Military.

Jan 31, 2006 8:42am
My EAD is coming up in 2 months and I need to know. How does airsoft mix with the military? Should I finish basic and go through tech school, when I reach my first base I will be in dorms and from what I understand no airsofts in dorm rooms. So I was wondering how do you guys like Kermit and such do it? How did you find players in your base? Don't want to continue purchasing airsoft stuff if I won't be able to play it again.

My friend dave and his buddies played in the barrecks in hawaii but I am sure it changes base to base

Thanks a lot Kermit. I was afraid I'd have to quit airsofting when I went in but now I can be a bit more at ease. I personally don't mind the whole lock/unlocking procedure with the dorm NCO. I was thinking about purchasing an SA 1911 G.I. or Mil Spec and I already knew armoury procedures a bit. Didn't mind that either. Just didn't want to go through that trouble with airsoft guns is all. Although I don't want to make it a habit of calling the dorm NCO at odd times of day/night and piss someone off. Don't want to find myself getting duties left and right.

You wont......duty CQ NCO is assigned to that dorm for like a 24hr period of time....they're suppose to stay awake and answer your every single need from "Im locked out of my room" to "I want to check out a vacumn cleaner from supply bay" thats what they do ... and walk around and tell yout o keep it down when your partying, and catch underage drinkers. So call as mucha s you want ... one day you'll be a NCO and will have to pull a dorm CQ shift, so abuse the hell out of CQ now before you end up CQ

i was in the army, and at Ft. Hood, we had to keep them locked up, but they were available 24 hours a day. we just had to check in with the NCOIC to unlock the locker and get em.
