And one activity Soldiers and Marines can always enthusiastically join together for is making fun of our asthmatic little brother who is also allergic to bee-stings, peanut butter, and flower pollen also known as the United States Air Force. He may be small, wear glasses, and sometimes a bit portly for his age, but we also know he is pretty smart and has ways of making his enemies disappear without actually getting anywhere near them. And even if he didn't, he's still OUR little brother.. so bugger off! Oh but I forgot.. making fun of Airmen.

SGT (Join to see) Using the mag WELL? Nothing. That has commonly been taught in CQ training when a vertical foregrip is not available. The technique usually has most of the hand on the handguard and the heel of the hand applying backward pressure to the magazine well.
This person is grabbing the magazine itself, which on a real rifle can cause jams or cause the magazine itself to fall out. Not a good thing.

And after all that running he is going to be thirsty, just trying to get his water source is going to be an issue.LOL I see that IBA and think it is going to disassemble.

1LT Nick Kidwell Using a mag well is only used for swinging as weapon quickly in close quarters with a ton of gear on. Really poor technique for bayonet charges, especially if you are in the Air Force where they won't give you one because they are more likely to hurt yourself or your fellow Airman than the enemy.

I heard a story from a guy who heard a story from a guy (if you follow) that said when 9/11 happened, the AF dudes on Offutt AFB brought rifles to the Army dudes there and said, "We know what to do up there, what do we do down here?" I kinda think that is BS, but I've heard it enough times that there may be a flake of truth somewhere in there.
That said, my previous NCO was an AF MSgt and that dude did more mentorship, grooming, and development on me than had been done since I was a SPC and still in a line battalion. I can honestly say that ever Air Force SNCO I've actually had in my chain has impressed the hell out of me, and I have worked for some giants in leadership. Its just been explained to me that AF SNCOs have outstanding training and development but don't have the influence found in Army SNCOs. Apparently this goes back to the fact that most AF Officers don't actually lead until they are an O3 because they don't really have platoon equivalent formations and without that initial building block, it changes the entire dynamic of the service.
