Reply to comment by nascentia in Skydiver dies in Florida after 'parachute malfunction,’ authorities say by Thetimmybaby

Ive seen our rangemaster kick out more vets than anyone else its ludicrous. One dude got thrown out and banned because he started making jokes after somebody said "Goin hot" before firing which is one of our ranges procedures. He started loudly saying "Hot??! Its kinda cold out, im not so hot, Im cold! Hyuk hyuk". The rangemaster quickly walked over told him this isnt a place for jokes and told him to kick rocks. Dude actually tried to swell up like he was gonna fight and caught a lifetime ban.

Vets of a certain age and ranges dont mix. Ive never seen any issue from anyone who served in Nam or earlier though just the younger guys.

It's coz a lot of vets and military members act like they know more about gun even though they worked a desk job that will 100% never have to shoot except for recertification (which isn't really gonna do much for proper handling).
