Is this the shittiest job you can get with the Rebels?

>"dude, ILM was the most innovative and influential effects studio in history!"

>a fucking garbage can painted white

This dude is garbage. He's literally in a trash can in that pic

Was he supposed to use the spear to stab at enemy tie fighters?

...

>using a lance to intercept flying war machines

what it is this, Sid Meiers civ?

in the novelization it says this dude literally shits and pisses off the side

It's obviously a space javelin.

Every time this shot popped up in Rogue One I had to try not to laugh because all I could think about were the fucking "how did he get up there" threads.

Pretty sure he's just a look out.

Would be pretty fucking boring though.

You can either sit on a tower all day long
Or you can be one of the guys in the hallway
Your choice.

Ahaha

He's got a can up there.

how the fuck DID he get up there?

Hover ladder

Same here lol.

...

Why does a lookout need a spear? Shouldn't he just have his optics? What is he looking out for up in the sky that wouldn't be picked up on radar.

Luke, did I ever tell you about Osleo Prennert? He was a corporal in the Rebel Alliance during the Galactic Civil War. During the occupation of Yavin 4, he was a sentry who manned a recon-tower to watch over the jungle and Massassi temples. Osleo was on duty as the Millennium Falcon set down outside the Great Temple. His primary weapon was a DH-17 blaster pistol with an enlarged sensor scope. He was a good friend.

This character was played by Industrial Light & Magic's Lorne Peterson. Of the three crew members who went to Tikal for filming, including Richard Edlund and Dick Alexander, Peterson got the dangerous job of standing on the tower because he was the only one who did not have any children. "Osleo Prennert" is an anagram of "Lorne Peterson." The sentry station he stands inside was made from a 50-gallon garbage can that had cosmetic alterations.

He could throw the spear like a javelin but that's only one shot. What's the point?

I would have loved this job. Sit up in a crows nest all day, up where it's quiet. Check a few ships, think about stuff. Comfy.

You don't think it just rises up like an elevator?

No, that's a cushy as fuck job for a soldier.

t. soldier

stealth ships, obviously.

and the spear is just an antenna he's holding on to because he's lazy. also, you get into the thing by just stepping into it. the pole it sits on telescopes out of the ground.

its like you guys are stupid or something

No because it's the safest. At least he didn't blow up like the rebels did.

He was supposed to shoot down ships with a pistol? The rebels deserved to fail.

>t. soldier
Thanks for your service.

The force can be used to trick such ancient technologies such as radar and cloak ship detection. The human element should not be discounted.

The side probably had rungs like a ladder.

Yeah who doesn't love guard duty/CQ? Just kidding that shit made me want to kill myself.

How did the orcs know what a menu is?

>on the lookout
>for stealth ships

The most worrying this is that seat has no back support

I was a gate guard at Dix for six months, it was easy as fuck.

Also that feel when africom deployment coming up.

The Eagles flew them in on the way to Mordor

pffft good luck with that. Applied like 8 times they always say they'll call me back but they never do.

what kind of garbage can do you have to stand in? 40 gallon?

What's the worst job?

Easy doesn't mean enjoyable. Sitting around watching a CCTV is easy, but it still makes me want to jump out a window.

commander in chief

>have a couple of novels stashed up there
>bring up a big ass thermos of tea and another one full of soup
c o m f y

what does he even do?

Being in a unit with no mission so instead you pick up trash in parking lots or attend endless don't rape people/kill yourselves classes.

I think he signals the ships that are landing. He has a pole and I assumed it was like those flag guys at the airports.

Worst MOS or assignment? Worst MOS is probably chemical or corrections.

Worst assignment is probably drill sergeant, especially if you're at a chickenshit post like Jackson.

This is what chemical does.

>or attend endless don't rape people/kill yourselves classes
I mean, I'm not saying I wish we had a war to keep our soldiers busy, but if this is really all there is for you guys to be doing...

not cloaked ships, moron, stealth - no radar profile. you can still see them.

Have you ever stood a military watch before? It's not comfy at all.

Uses his eyes to detect cloaked ships with help from the force, or so I gathered from this thread.

yes it is, I've done it for half a year

G A R R I S O N

Kek'd

Stealth means it's invisible to radar/scans. You can still see them with your eyeballs.

I don't know about you, but Navy watch sucks ass. Specially when you have to wear the dress whites that don't let your balls breathe

>This is what chemical does.
I met a chemical guy and said they were doing lots of crazy training, and also dealing with all types of IRL cleanup and situations that are well off the radar.
Also, those guys get wild certifications which translate very well to high paying civ jobs in radiatioactive waste management, biohazard CDC stuff, and other gigs requiring that very peculiar skillset.
Just sayin'

They have cloaked ships. Why would you use stealth ships if you have cloaked ships?

>tea
>have to piss constantly
>problem
>not really a problem
>pee on other rebels
>blame it on spacebirds
> damn spacebirds

>Navy

why lad

>and also dealing with all types of IRL cleanup and situations that are well off the radar

100% fabrication, trust me

Just pee in another thermos you bring up and leave it up there for the next guy's watch so he thinks it's tea.

Cause I fell for the travel and see the world meme

I have, and even though it's cold and you're tired and you have to pay attention for shit, there is still a certain level of comfiness to it.

His job could easily be done from a lower altitude. They made it needlessly dangerous for him.

Our chemical guy looked at the units gas masks occasionally and brought us to the gas chamber once a year. The rest of the time he was picking up garbage with the rest of us.

A droid could probably even do it, they're wasting a perfectly good soldier who could be getting hacked to bits by Vader

>100% fabrication, trust me
If you say so, amigo
>I was 11B1P, so I am only hearing this second hand.
The part of the civ work stuff is legit, though.

why aren't all the ships cloaked all the time? if there's a reason for that, then stealth has a niche.

also, who exactly has cloaking ships? and i don't want to hear about your fucking expanded universe novels, comic books, or some dumb cartoon to keep adhd kids quiet after school.

>they're wasting a perfectly good soldier
More like he's old and not very useful, so they give him a job where he's out of the way and could easily die, thus freeing the rebels of his burden.

Holy fuck that shit special effects. OT had not aged well

They mention cloaked ships in Empire. If anyone has them I'm sure the Imperials do.

What's the problem with The Navy? I heard from multiple sources that it was the best branch.

Cool, were you in the 101st? I was attached to them (CA specialist, reclassed from 31B).

It's not that bad. Now the cantina scene doesn't hold up at all.

>best
You mean gayest. Most cushy is Air Force if you're looking for to enlist.

Those X-Wings were added in the Special Edition shit Lucas did

>101st
No I was in 82nd, with actual parachutes and not helicopters.
Good times that I would never repeat.
Got out a while ago, and avoided any PTSD or any shit like that. I hang out at /k/ sometimes when I want to nostalgia.

"no ship that small has a cloaking device"

so i guess he's looking for small stealth ships

>have a lookout for stealth ships
>cloaked ships slip right by
His job is pointless

air assault is more fun than airborne imo, but it's not like either of them are really practical for most of us

Also, I never got PTSD, but I saw some fucked up shit as a junior enlisted in Kandahar. Lots of kiddy fuckers, and the worst part is that everyone in CA with a deployment has seen it too.

>Lots of kiddy fuckers
I've heard a lot about this.
Fucking savages, man
>Parachutes vs. Helicopters
It will always be classier to arrive in battle via parachute than helicopter.
Think Band of Brothers vs. It Ain't Me
I still respect parachute operations, and loved riding in Blackhawks and Chinooks.

We weren't allowed to do anything about it either.

It fucking sucked because we'd go and hand out soccer balls and toys to local kids and you could always tell which ones were being abused. Then we'd go and negotiate with the assholes that were fucking them the next day and have to smile at them and promise them refrigerators and new roads.

I wish I could do my job in a country that doesn't fuck kids. Everyone knew about it, on our side and among the locals they all enabled it.

I need a drink.

What's this guys canon job? To point a speed gun at every ship? Does he have a wookieepdedia page?

Carloooos!
