The U.S. military implements a recruitment system, also known as the voluntary military service system. That is, citizens' participation in the military is entirely voluntary, and the relationship between the two parties is a contract.
It is different from the conscription system in China and South Korea.
Soldiers who are conscripted into the army are called compulsory soldiers. The country will not pay them a salary when they join the army. They will only be given a monthly allowance equivalent to pocket money.
To belong is to fulfill one's obligations to the country.
The 18-year-old boy was in his prime and became a conscript with basically no income.
It can be said that it is all about realizing a dream, about wearing the olive green honor of wearing a military uniform, and about dedicating one's youth to the country.
Of course, there are also a few who have a certain purpose and hope to find employment through the military curve.
But on the whole, they are all walking for dreams.
The recruitment system is based on contract work, and their fundamental nature is completely different. The starting point of each person's joining the army is even more diverse.
Excluding a small number of Americans from serving in the army is really to protect the country and defend the country's honor.
Most of them, at least more than 80%, join the army because of their own needs in some aspects, and the army can just meet them.
And among these 80% of people, more than half do it for money.
Just like Lei, the second person in charge of Team B.
No matter what his original purpose in joining the army was, or whether he joined the army purely for honor when he was young, in the end, he stayed in the army mainly for money.
In reality, a large number of young people in the United States serve as soldiers, all for the military salary.
Otherwise, even basic life will be difficult.
The remaining half of people who are not interested in money are mainly focused on their own personality and interests.
Sean is a typical example of this interest.
It is not difficult to see from his speech that he joined the army not for money, but purely to realize his life dream.
Traveling around the world and seeing all the world’s scenery is the dream of almost all young people.
Unfortunately, this dream is very expensive and out of reach for most people.
The main reason Sean joined the SEALs was that SEALs can travel around the world and allow him to appreciate the scenery around the world.
It can be regarded as traveling around the world in a curve.
At the same time, the SEALs belong to the special forces, a place full of hormones and adrenaline, which can also add challenges and adventures to Sean's life.
Challenge yourself, live your life, and fly higher.
This is what young people like!
If recruits in China spoke like this, and there was not a single sentence in the whole text about "for the country, for the people, for honor," they would more or less be dragged in by the veterans to have a good chat.
You only want to have fun when you join the army for one day, and your thoughts are not correct.
But in the U.S. military, which has a recruitment system, Sean's words touched the hearts of the veterans and made them feel moved.
The oldest of the veterans here is over 40, and the youngest Long Zhan is almost 26 years old.
Looking back on their young selves, they also had such aspirations and dreams.
However, due to the torture of years and the cruelty of reality, the dreams of the past have become the delusions of today, and in the end they can only sink into the bottom of my heart and turn into regrets.
They all need to put aside their dreams for the sake of their families.
Now with Sean standing in front of them passionately, they can get some spiritual comfort.
Under this mood...
Sean's fantasy-filled speech was unanimously approved by all the veterans, and Sean's rookie show ended with a perfect ending.
The rookie show is over and the action is on track.
All the weapons and equipment obtained through Murphy's efforts were sent to the armory, and the Murphy team participating in the operation needed to start preparing equipment for themselves.
The gap between ordinary seals and elite seals is also reflected here.
In the DG, there are dedicated logistics sergeants for each operation, and the equipment everyone needs is in place. Basically, as long as the people arrive and get it, they can use it.
But here it's completely different.
The five operators, including Long Zhan and Marcus, needed to open various combat equipment boxes themselves and take out their own equipment for assembly.
This ranges from attaching an optical sight to a gun to stuffing a magazine grenade into a tactical vest.
Everything needs to be done by yourself.
Fortunately, those who participated in this operation were all veterans. Those with the lowest military rank were all sergeants, and they were all special forces. They were very familiar with various equipment.
The five people quickly found their corresponding weapons and began to assemble the firearms and check whether there were any malfunctions.
Murphy and Danny Dietz are carrying M4A1. The basic model has not been specially modified and is equipped with KAC silencer as standard.
An m203a1 is added below to supplement the firepower.
The m203a1 is a rear-loading, rifled single-shot grenade launcher developed by the American aai company. It has basically replaced the m79 grenade launcher.
Maximum effective range: 350m for area targets and 150m for point targets.
As the sniper observer of the team, Matt carries a navy version of the mk12 mod1 special purpose rifle, which is a sniper rifle that is lightweight but has a short range.
It can be referred to as "SPR sniper rifle".
It is also a basic model for field installation and has not undergone special enhancement modifications.
18-inch barrel, Leupold lr m3 (spr/a) mid-range white light sight, ops type 12 spr silencer.
The "perfect" standard model.
Marcus is the team's medical officer and second observer, and chose the same SPR sniper rifle as Matt.
It's not that Marcus also likes this gun, but there are only these two sniper rifles issued, and he has no choice if he wants a better one.
Just use it even if you don’t like it!
The white seals do not have the right to choose their own guns. They use whatever guns are equipped for each operation.
Compared with DG players who can choose their own guns, the base is also equipped with top ordnance experts who can modify it to meet any personal needs of the team members.
The gap here is simply heaven and earth.
Having carried out two missions with Team B and enjoying the heavenly treatment of Long Zhan, looking at these "appearance setting" weapons in front of me, I have mixed feelings in my heart.
Fortunately, he also came out of the Navy SEALs and has long been used to the hard life of a poor family.
Moreover, the mk48 mod0 that Murphy got is an enlarged caliber version of the mk46. It uses 5.56×45 mm bullets instead of 7.62×51 mm bullets.
Although it has not undergone any subsequent enhancements and modifications, it still has a strong appetite for dragon battles.
During the two years that Long Zhan was in the SEALs, he had been using the mk48 lightweight machine gun. This model was his old friend.
Although the bullet load will increase as the caliber increases, the load has never been an issue that needs to be considered in Dragon War.
Stronger and stronger firepower is Long Zhan's favorite.
Longzhan is also very satisfied with the sight, and is equipped with an acog 4x32 ta31 with a doctor micro red dot sight.
(Micro red dot sight; a special sight, only the size of a fingernail, mounted not on the leather rail of the gun body, but directly above the magnifying glass."
This allows precise aiming without any adjustments in long and short range firefights.
