Ha ha that’s some funny stuff! Looks like he was most effective with the snow shovel…must be from the north
Okay…what the hell was that video about? My first thought is “you’ll shoot your eye out kid:D”. So I guess the point for me is get rid of the Glock I keep by my bed…and throw a half dozen garden shovels under the bed. I hope this was a tongue in cheek video. From the bed though I think I could harm an armed intruder. That is after I mess up and plow the wife in the head trying to throw it.
Cool.
Now I get it. It was in response to Giduck’s video. Now I am LMAO! Bear with me folks I worked graveyards last night so I was slow on the uptake.
issue t-shirt, PT shorts AND sandals? yea, 20+ years in the military doesn’t rob you of all fashion sense.
Master Chief was rocking the silkies and sandals. “you’re going to shoot your eay out!” GET SOME!
ROTFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A Duffel Blog-level bit of satire. The only thing lacking is some pretentious, bullshit-laden titles. Oh, and you forgot to twirl each shovel before launching it. Essential part of the shovel technique.
Bravo Zulu, Master Chief!
I’d like to see the video of him twirling the snow shovel. I bet he’d rock it like Robert Plant with a microphone stand.
I like that tight ‘n high haircut MCPO is sporting …
Holy crap … here I attempt to give you all highly sought after Shovel Warfare techniques … and all I get back are comments about wardrobe, footware, and haircut.
This is a serious training video … learn the way of the shovel … and you will live to fight another day!
(after I get up off the floor from laughing myself silly)
They did NOT teach us this at Bainbridge RTC(w)!
I hear that due to the poor quality of the latest British built shovels the SAS and Pathfinders have been issued with Canadian made secateurs instead.
The footwork needs a bit of work. I know that they taught you that in the Navy, Chief! If you are going to dazzle ’em with BS, some clever moves add to the authenticity of it all.
Teehee.
@4
I’ve worked what seemed like years of graveyard and never been that “slow”…
Coffee up, dude! 🙂
Wait!!! WAIT!! … now are those SEAL shovels or Ranger shovels?
@10….
He has given us a sign! MCPO NYC USN (Ret.) has given us a SIGN!!
He has given us… His shovels!
The shovels are a sign. Let us follow His example.
Let us, like Him, hold up one shovel and let the other be against the tree, for this is His sign, that all who follow Him shall do likewise.
…a sign that we must gather shovels together in abundance.
Phhhht. My Hoe-Jitsu beats your shovel style any day of the week.
🙂 Than again, an E-tool is a nice thing to have when having an interpersonal discussion with a smelly bad guy…
Lights! Camera! Action! MCPO, you forgot to wear your gummint issued reflective PT belt. LOL
Is it bad that my halloween costume this year is going to be a spartan warrior with a shield full of PT belts? maybe I can add a shovel to it!!!
“I don’t always use a shovel but when I do I use it to throw it into a tree”
Rock the Speedo on the next one.
I guess I will have to dig out my old post hole digger videos….
I do like the camera-child laughing during the shovel throwing, made my day dude!
Rotating graves gets me off a bit. But I was really off on this one 😀 I am all coffeed up now.
I believe that someone else was actually throwing the shovels. MCPO is not shown in the video doing the actual throwing, and everyone knows that by the time retirement age has been reached, Chiefs have permanently curled index fingers from having held coffee mugs twelve to fourteen hours per day.
@24 and a permanent bulge in their pocket from the pinochle deck!
@21
If you’re going to go eye bleach, then go all the way.
PT belt thong.
The shoveler from mystery men has found some competition, heh
@24 well that aim could be part of the curled fingers problem!
Guys guys guys I know is not the topic but … wasn’t Paul K Wickre’s (GH!) better half aide for the house representative in Florida? because if it is…

Way to go! *slow clap* they banned computers and even smartphones by “accident” .. can’t fix stupid
Random garden implements flying through the air…
Lawn sprinkler attack on the horizon.
Two things Master Chief…
1. You sure own a lot of shovels.
B. More range time!
Gotta love the dry wit of a Master Chief.
I thought you were trying to play golf when you almost hit a birdie.
One thing is for sure…Giduck’s shovel can sure pile more bullsheet faster than the Master Chief’s.
My shovel is a Colt 1911 A1. I can’t throw it for shi*. But it is still a potent piece of garden equipment. As in “He suffered a tragic gardening accident”.
I’m still trying to get my Expert Trowel Throwing Ribbon added to my awards and decs
That’s some funny shit, Master Chief! As to the Red Ryder……….You’ll shoot yer eye out!!!
This is my shovel! There are many like it but this one is mine!
@26, I’d go with the nec gaiter mini-skirt.
Next weeks video has been changed, it will not be “Small Unit Tactics Using the Red Ryder”.
It will be “Family Fun Time – Waterboarding for Idiots.”
Most excellent
@39: Cool! Fun for the whole family! I like that, we need to have more family friendly videos like that.
You know I’ve heard of “giving someone the bird” but throwing one at them!?!
1:17 in the video it looks like a bird was thrown in there. I couldn’t hear it but I loved the visuals it made.
@43. It was obviously symbolic of the spirit in which the video was made.
