Been using Nade for over 15 years in the military.

And for get what you give. I only give mauleed crap. I guess you guys have to protect your cult leader. LOL. Sad really.

And for get what you give. I only give mauleed crap.

You also waste everyone's time responding to rules questions with answers seemingly pulled out of thin air, get stroppy when called on it, and then start posting nonsense in a futile attempt to either prove your point or distract everyone with your supposedly awsome cosmic gaming powers.

Have a go at Mauleed all you want... just stop filling the forum up with drivel.

You MUST be new here... I am by FAR the least likely person to defend Ed for principle alone.

Heck, the rules argumets we used to get into were the stuff of legend. I'm FAR from being a member of the Ed cult club.


As for the 15 year thing... I only know I never heard the marines and grunts I knew in Hawaii to use the term in common usage when refering to grenades.

What nade used as grenade? Dang I must be out of the loop! I've only been a serving soldier for 3 years now, and I have never heard any one either than super nerds use that term.

Or maybe it's just a Yankee thing.....

Again. I've been in 15 years and it's been used by non-geek types as well as geek types.

Never heeard the term before. I'm raising the BS flag on Popeye for that one.

Yakface does it talk about only hitting front armour in hand to hand?

Buy the rulebook and look it up for yourself. Are you poor? Can't afford the rule book?

Also, you get 10 points if you can tell me what the word 'irony' means without looking it up in a dictionary.

You're in the military? That... that frightens me deeply.

BYE

Look, living on base with your father since you were born does not give you the right to claim 15 years service.

Nor does an active membership in the KISS Army.

 

This site is chock full of actual military personel, active and veteran, and I have yet to hear a single one speak up in defense of the term 'nade in a context outside of Halo. Find a little support and maybe you won't get razzed so much.

Although you are far more likely to use grenades in the KISS army than any other branch of the military.

...or no! I mean lipstick, not grenades. Sorry.

KiMonarrez - thanks for the internet search on the term...

And Blue Loki, IF I was a coffee drinker, and IF I was drinking coffee at the time I read your post, I would have done the ultimate spit take!

Good stuff!

I certainly needed a laugh today!

Nade is also a colloqiual term of affection used by those who supported Ralph Nader during the first election won by Bush.

I just did a search on Google Images, and I found pictures of japananime kiddie porn, a guinea pig, and someone's home photos. Is that what you were referencing Capt? So you translated question is "what do I need to roll for my Japananime kiddie porn and guinea pig to damage a walker?"

So now my investigative spirit is raised...
first couple sites found with search "USMC forum" = military.com, www.grunt.com.

Google search of "grenade* site:military.com" returns about 1,500 hits
Google search of "*nade* -grenade* site:military.com" returns three hits

One is a typo for "made"
The other two appear to be duplicates, both of which involve a place name:

"i was with the 93 provide mp that work at the ammmon dump out side of futide nade quo non in 68 and 69 would like to hear from am ny bony that was..."

Google search of "grenade* site:www.grunt.com" returns about 1,100 hits
Google search of "*nade* -grenade* site:www.grunt.com" returns one hit.

Of course that post was a tongue in cheek rendition of a USMC fanboy...

"Oh oh I'm gonna be a sniper to although I have no idea how hard it will be and even though I may never get the chance to even try out, or I may not be anywhere near in good enough shape, and even though I haven't been to boot camp I think I'll be a sniper, or choose to use whatever weapon I want with no regard for what type of mission were on because I think Nade launchers are COOL."

Still want to claim that "nade" is common military usage?

yes.

You know Anderton, you probably should have said "I like the expression 'nade... it's a gamer-geek thing" rather than trying to suggest that you're military and that it's a common military term. It's offensive to a lot of people here to claim military service when you have none and clearly your comment demonstrates this as nade is not a military slang term for a grenade in any english-speaking military. Grenades are called grenades, occasionally the vietnam-era "frag" might be used, really old vets who remember the MkII might call them "pineapples" and occasionally the M61 might be called a "lemon", but generally grenade suffices or the actual grenade designation (M67, M68).

It's a simple process to defend your military status... I have several friends you can look you up if you'll provide just a little more info than your name, like your unit, station, or even just MOS (or career area).

I have had the pleasure to have met the good captain on more than one occassion and he is indeed in the military. So it seems you Dakkites' psychic powers rolled a bust for the leadership test this time around.

Where have you met him? Have you played him? Does he look like the guy in the picture I got?

Capt thanks for the answer to the question. We weren't sure but we thought that was the case.

For everyone in this thread, dislike him or not you're acting like a bunch of 14 year-olds picking on the kid you don't like. Grow up.

flyins, you suck! Give me your lunch money now or I will give you a wedgie! You only have 7 posts! hahahahahahahahaha

PWNED!
