What do you rate this pic?

[Anonymous]

Buddy wanted to show his cousin who the combatives champion is, yet, I decided to add the rifle and sunglasses for extra overkill.

[BCRanger10]

On a scale of 1 to 10? I rate it...

Get an American flag GIF in the background with lots of explosions n' stuff, it would be boss.

[Asker]

Hell yeah brother

[InventorofWarp]

Lose the glasses, get some jeans, you're gold.
Also I'd say grow out the hair but I know army has regulations on that.
Why do some soldiers have beards and others don't?

[Asker]

The ones that have beards are legendary ones.

I’m not there yet

[InventorofWarp]

Ah, so it's the same as Muggle life?

Yeah, me as well am not quite there, though we all seek this challenge.
Talk to me again when Movember ends.

You know I always love all your photos. But it looks so cool. How did this championship work? Was it squad against squad? If so how many squads competed?

[Asker]

Okay, so, it was the entire company.

Company is around 200 people

Each company has 3-4 platoons

Each platoon has 4 squads (total 8 people)

Each squad has 2 teams of 4 people

So, I’m the champion of all the 200 people.

Each platoon chooses their champion or representative and then they fight.

Whoever wins is the champion of everything.

The gun doesn't fit with the theme of combatives, but other than that it's an impressive feat.

[Asker]

Lmao, I know.

Someone else asked “hey, why the gun Vinoya?”

I’m like “because”

Just because lol

[Asker]

I kind of wanted to make the pic as ridiculous as I could

I was thinking about having a knife in my mouth, but too lazy to ask my buddy for his.

[Ninani]

Yeah, but with that belt your body is already a lethal weapon 😂

[Ninani]

Why make it ridiculous, though?

[Asker]

Hmm, don’t know to be honest.

Perhaps maybe it’ll be funnier or a more fun pic?

Memories even.

[Ninani]

True, but you wouldn't want a serious picture too?

[Asker]

Yeah, you’re right, although

I already have a few “serious” photos.

I like most of my photos to be in a more playful manner generally.

That’s why I’m always smiling or laughing.

[Ninani]

You should definitely smile for being the champion! Ain't no reason not to.

[Asker]

Yes.

[MCheetah]

I haven't seen PSY since he did Gangnam Style ten years ago. He looks good, here. Rejoined the Korean army and everything.

[Phoenix98]

So what are you the champion of? CQC? Marksmanship? PT?, etc?

[Asker]

Combatives.

[Phoenix98]

Which contains?

[Asker]

Grappling/jiu-jitsu

[Phoenix98]

Interesting I'm surprised it's that, woulda figured you'd have a more varied martial arts program.

[Asker]

Well, it is more varied.

But this time it was grappling/jiujitsu focused

[Phoenix98]

O you mean the grappling/jiujitsu part of the overall style was the focus during the tournament gotcha. That makes sense.

[WowwGirl]

Besides the bracelet,,,,,
The belts better than the gun.. to me

[OlderAndWiser]

Looks like a patriot!

[FinalFantasyBro]

Cool gun bro

[Asker]

Thanks bro

[msc545]

Looks like a jerk.
