I know you're joking here, but I do want to point out to folks that I do these videos as a primer for guys. These videos will never substitute actual practical application. For guys not currently serving as Infantryman, I highly encourage them to look into participating in formal training such as a One Shepherd training semester or courses through S&S training solutions. Both are great institutions and teach the right way.

They didn't forget , they got complacent for fighting low tech insurgents

They actually do give you god-like powers especially if the adversary doesn't have them. But if you don't actually train with them most people are better off with a flashlight. And a flashlight is a lot cheaper. Even a surefire lol

[@bluntsmoke1872]

Agreed.

[@SkeezyFPV]

I have an agm gen 3 wp 14 and it's been a solid unit with lots of hours during the 15 months I've had it. It has a few blems and it's not gated but for $1,500 there's nothing even close to it. I've used it a lot getting to and from hunting stands in western new york and it's pretty thick woods. Kind of like Mt. Fuji if you trained there near the suicide forest. 1,000% on wearing eye pro in the woods with nods. You will in fact poke your eye out if you do it long enough without eye pro. Best optic with nods: eotech on a fucking riser and a quality 3x hands down. Man i think I'm gonna throw my nods on and take the dog out hahahaha. semper fi 🇺🇸

[@trundelingporpoise2404]

Some takeaways I had from my first FoF nighttime patrol in the woods: 1. Woods are very loud places to walk. This video was correct about everything thing taking twice as long at night. Everytime our TL tried to speed us up, noise discipline dropped. Go slow! 2. NVGs have a awful time finding enemies in dense foliage and undergrowth. I would not want to go on a night time patrol without thermal capabilities. Thermal optics are life savers when it comes to spotting enemy positions in a dense forest! 3. Be aware of ambient light!! I understand that dual tube NVGs are gucci, but 14s give you the ability to see what is actually going on light-wise. 4. The dbal d2 will get you kilt in da streetz. Story time: a guy (without any nvgs or thermals (was playing a "average joe")) on the op-for was laying in tall grass. Guy on our team (with a dbal d2) thinks he knows where op-for guy is and lights up the grass with his laser and massive illuminator to try to secure the elimination. He misjudged the actual position laterally. The op-for guy with no nvgs was able to clearly see the red glow from the d2's LED illuminator and immediately secured the kill on NVG dude. I know that all the D2 videos on KZbin say something along the lines of "the red glow isnt that bad/that noticeable", but it is VERY noticeable! A guy with good levels of training, nice gucci gear, and nightvision got smoked by a guy with far less training and nothing but a plate carried, baseball cap, and a standard ar15 because of it.

[@taylor3880]

Good to know. Was debating the I2 and D2 and think I’ll stay away from the LED illuminator tech

[@VictoryOrValhalla14]

Excellent video and as you can see I preferred mounting my 14s on my rifle for patrolling or ambush in the woods/farmlands of south Baghdad. For SKT missions in the city I mounted them on my helmet. Walking on uneven terrain with NODs is hilarious and a pain in the ass. The amount of guys that fall down can be funny but not on a combat patrol. I had/have excellent night sight naturally so while patrolling I’d raise my weapon to take a look and scan at every short and long halt. This limited my clumsy movement and allowed my other senses to be heightened. As a great of a tool and advantage NODs can give you they also can make units reliant on “tech” and that never worked for me. My men knew how to operate old school and use the tech we had at our disposal. I learned quite a few things from the Vietnam vets and I passed them on. Hopefully my men did the same. If we end up doing the right thing and oppose our oppressive government we won’t have the tech advantage, learn to do without.

[@Brent0331]

Thanks for sharing brother. I have seen first hand multiple times where guys get too dependent on their technology. Its not just limited to NVGs/Thermals, but things like land nav with the reliance on GPS and dependent on UAVs and other related assets. Guys need to be well rounded though, I've been on the receiving end acting as OPFOR w/out NVG capabilities against a BLUFOR that was fully equipped. It was bad...

[@VictoryOrValhalla14]

@@Brent0331 1000% agree.

[@SkeezyFPV]

I welcome the day selective availability comes back to gps and people actually have to bust out a compass and map. I fucking love land navigation though. And I love nods too. We didn't get much access to them during my time in the corps. I was 0811 and we got moonbeams instead lmao. Our gun truck drivers had them. And all the sncos and O-1s and up did too lol because they really had important stuff to do.... Semper rah, gents... Brent, do a video on driving with nods. I almost killed my entire gun crew doing that once without a single enemy shot being fired...

[@thegeth4293]

dont forget that walking around with an IR beam bouncing around can potentially damage you or your buddy's expensive nvg if the light shines in the lense too long

[@edwardhertig2895]

Great stuff again, must master the basics first to be an effective infantryman

[@Brent0331]

100%

[@georgesakellaropoulos8162]

Then there's the technique of looking about 15 degrees to one side of the object you are observing. This directs the ambient light to an area of your eye to a place where there are more rods than cones. Cones are for color vision, whereas rods are for differentiating light intensity. If you develop this technique, you will be surprised at how well you can see in times of limited light availability.

[@huwhitecavebeast1972]

Thanks will have to try that.

[@RobbieBussey]

I was gifted night vision by a friend and after messing with it and seeing how much light gets picked up through that thing and not by the naked eye is crazy, and seing how different patterns work at night changed my opinion on uniforms i own that I have only used during the day

So I feel old because we only had PVS-7s when I was in the Corps, and they were few & far between. But on the other hand, so much of what you covered in first half of the video was what I learned back in those days. Noise & light discipline, and dummy-cording your gear are still sound concepts.

Great intro video on the subject. Eyepro being a big thing that is often overlooked. I haven't done 1 Shepherd, but I did have the opportunity to train with some of their cadre in a class doing night exercises without nods and I can say for sure that branches are a real hazard and reduce your effectiveness if you have to worry about getting poked in the eye.

Light discipline : Dont use IR flood lights, and laser designators bc the enemy may see you Camo: dont wash with certain detergent bc itll make your camo glow US Uniform Requires for ID: a Big ass flashing IR light on your head, maybe some bright ass glow sticks or 1x1” squares on your chest and shoulders , some glowy reflective US flag patches all over your kit too... The PVS built in illuminator code trick is cool, comment isnt to throw shade at you, but it def poses some contradictory info.

[@AmazonWebService98]

Because it's old vs new shit , few years ago it was complete dominance against insurgent groups , they found out the hard way that running ir flood and designators is s good way to get you killed with the market flooding of more affordable tech that can pick up on that

[@AmazonWebService98]

Which also just shows how lacks we have become by dropping operation standards just because we were fighting desert rats

12:51.. That's was a cool vid. I remember that vid

[@seasoldier3902]

Your video is good at explaining the use of night vision aids and the different types but what if they fail? What do you do then? I would have thought you would have covered that aspect of operating during the hours of darkness. For example; the mark one eyeball cannot distinguish colours at night, only shades of black and grey. The two types of cell within the mark one eyeball retina - rods and cones. As a result, use "off centre" vision to look in a figure of eight motion around the object you are looking at. Lay on the ground and look up to silhouette the object(s) you are looking at. These, to my mind, are the basic infantry skills for operating during the hours of darkness. We rely too much on technology.
