The Man is out to get you
Time to break out the Tinfoil

Someone in LA is asking sommeone in the Bay area to possibly take them out to the range with an M16??? - Delete

[Diablo]

Did you call the number?

[DB2]

No one answered when I called. Voicemail is not setup.

*67 blocks your number on caller ID.

I ran a search on AKO, and PV2 Kenny Pasten is a real soldier in the NG, out in Ontario, in a Cav unit. Aco 1-18th CAV.

Never fired his weapon?

[MrLogan]

He didn't say never, he said not often. Pasten, apparently, is a real soldier in the NG. See my above post. Whether the guy who is PMing the OP is the actual Paten, however, is unknown.

My mistake, i read through it too fast. That PM is very suspect to me though.

[MrLogan]

Yeah, seems kind of funny. The phone number in the PM doesn't match the phone number listed in AKO either.

[jmlivingston]

Contact Kestryll and see if he can run a check on the originating IP address for that PM. I know moderators can do it for posts in their assigned forums, but I don't know about PM's. He also might be able to get it from the guys login history.

Ya think??

I could be mistaken, but doesn't the soldier go to school to learn his specialty (MOS) when he finishes boot camp??

-hanko (Who's currently in SW Idaho and who CAN get a friend or 2 show up at the range with the fun gun the soldier wants to shoot)

[metalhead357]

Could be real but sniffs much like a baaaaaad set up...........

Yep...PM Kes and do a track back

[Rck'n'ROll]

He asked you if you know anybody with a M16 or M4. Ummmmm... I don't think I would be getting back to your new army buddy. If he is a calvary scout he is bull****ing you on he did not get that much range time. I know a few Army Scouts, and they are sick of all the range time they get....... So unless they have changed the range times they are getting in boot camp and in their primary schools, he is full of BULL COCKY. However, if he said he was an admin person or motor T, I might believe him.

LMAO Besides I don't think owning an M4 or M16 is legal to own anyway you slice it. I say tin foil, TIN FOIL, GET YOUR COVERS ON!!!! If he is that serious about some MORE training with some automatic weapons send him some information on Front Sight.

[CSACANNONEER]

Give him Iggys number!

[dustoff31]

He had to at least qualify as Marksman or better to get out of basic. If he's National Guard he'll have to qualify again during post-mobilization training prior to deployment.

It's still a weird message though. If he wanted range time, why not post the message, rather than PM one person?
