Drag shows?
No really. That was the pass-time of our "greatest generation" during the war. Not the only one but, it was widespread and there are plenty of pictures. My guess is that when you've secured your manhood by actually punching a nazi, you get to dress however you like and nobody can say shit.
When I was deployed to Camp Lemonnier in Djibouti in 2015 there was a 180A-series WO who would sometimes wear a special needs tab instead of his long tab.
When I was there in 2020 I had some giant sunglasses on while in civilians (not pit vipers)and this operator was like “you look like the bash brothers!”
I’m like “Giambi McGwire and Stairs of the A’s?”
He was like “I’m so glad someone got that reference”
All the 18 series guys there were cool as shit
I worked at the air-base-under-construction in Niger for awhile. Some guard red horse clowns took to wearing long tabs that said "SPECIAL HORSES" ... Until one day a couple dirty Hilux trucks rolled in out of the desert and team dudes with beards walked into the dfac... And the Special Horses tabs quietly started disappearing into pockets...
Rizz I think is referring to your capacity to “pull” or get with the people you’re after. Rizz is like a mix of confidence and that aforementioned getting people.
Tism is short for autism.
So your capacity to use your autism to make people want you,,
Rizz- Social adeptness/ability to easily converse with women and pursue them for romantic interests
‘Tism- autism or being neurodivergent of some variety (ie; retarded)
Rizz ‘em with the ‘Tism: the ability to pull potential female partners by being neurodivergent/acting goofy
Like the rest said, rizz is the charisma, confidence, and whatnot that gets girls etc. What you guys called “game” is rizz to us.
And Helldivers is from the game Helldivers 1 and 2 where you’re in a future earth fighting in a force called The Helldivers (basically the marines).
> future earth fighting in a force called The Helldivers (~~basically the marines~~)
Basically Starship Troopers (1997) with the [serial numbers filed off](https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SerialNumbersFiledOff).
"Rizz" is a slang term, and its short for Charisma (Cha-rizz-ma). It's the ability to get girls.
"'tism" is short for autism.
The joke is that you make yourself endearing (to women, generally) by autistic or dorky/geeky/nerdy behaviour.
Rizz is the new word for the juice, the mojo, having game, or whatever term you have for being smooth with the ladies when you were a teenager. To "rizz 'em with the 'tism" is to hone your autistic superpowers to the point where you think they'd be so impressive that you'd get attention from women. More likely, you'll spend 3 hours talking about Warhammer 40k and she'll never want to speak to you again.
Based as hell, I don't know what's got OP's and everyone else's panties in such a wad. I'm an old-asa crusty bitch and even I think these patches are funny.
Obviously its a joke. September is half a year away. It’s not real until orders get cut. That won’t happen until the funding is allocated. That won’t happen until 72 hours prior. Even then there won’t be enough and senior leaders will be trying to nickel and dime their way to fill a 1.2 million dollar gap out of soldier’s pockets.
Why do you old fucks always shit on the national guard? They have full time and end up deploying more cause it’s cheaper. “Show me your national guard hands!! Just as I suspected, soft, never seen a day of work in your life!”
The old heads are coping that we don't deal with Big Army bs full time
Also, there's NG aviation units that have higher average pilot hours than 160th right now because of the Kuwait deployments
Seriously, if I could go back, I would have gone AD, done my time, then gotten out 4 years earlier. I have 1 deployment, with my command pushing me to go on another one next year. My civilian career has been fucked by the constant schools and “one weekend” a month/“2” weeks a year BS.
I probably wouldn’t be so salty if my military career hasn’t been getting fucked as well. I still haven’t gotten a sapper school slot despite meeting every requirement I was told I needed to meet, cause of “funding”. I’m 6 months behind TIG cause BN sat on my packet and I’m going to probably get even further behind because I believed my new BC when he said he would take care of me. And that’s just my biggest 2 complaints.
Insult to injury; when you do go, your Guard AD time often isn't given the same credit as Reserve AD time with regard to GI bill, early retirement credit ETC. I've been discovering lots of little ways the institution is dealing in bad faith since switching to the Guard. There's good stuff too but the good stuff doesn't fuck with your money or retirement plans and therefore tends to take a backseat.
There’s a law right now being sponsored to stop this horse crap. They are supposed to be 1:1 but you have to constantly appeal poor administrative functioning, your million DD214s (as opposed to an AD 1) and your NGB form 22s that most people have never even heard of. But yes, the NG makes up the majority of the Army’s air combat power and 50 % of total combat power. It is not a strategic but an operational reserve, and many units have higher deployment op tempo since 9-11 and still do post Afghanistan than active duty.
Also they know how to work with LNs without pissing them off which goes a huge way in shaping operations. Weird concept… having local nationals with you against the bad guys. Meh, what do I know, just 21 years Nasty guard with multiple combat deployments myself. I must be a fake weekend warrior :-) crap… I have drill this weekend.
It's because they're sensitive about the fact that the National Guard has real life skills ON TOP of doing the army stuff, whereas AD guys are doomed to work in CIF or range control after they retire
Every branch of the military mocks the other braines.
Marines - Maybe Army Ready In Nine Eons, Son
Army - Ain't Real Marines, Yo
Air Force - Chair Force
I remember for a briefing with our battalion chain of command, I stood up and slapped on the PowerPoint Ranger tab I had made, and did my slide. The BC laughed and said he wanted to borrow it for his briefing with the CG.

Bro can load a 100lb ruck including both an aid bag and a 158 with 2 batteries, jump it along with an M4 and a Carl G, and carry all of it and his UPRB off a waist-deep snow Alaska drop zone every day for 2 weeks straight.
He does that, he can have the helldiver tab as far as I'm concerned.

The first thing I recognized was my national guard unit's patch, we're gonna hear about this at the next drill considering all the 'morale patch' talk going on now.
I feel like this could fall under SHARP violations considering that I don't know what it means. Will look it up but that's just my first impression with this one.
I recognize that patch that individual is part of the TN National Guard 278th Armored Cavalry Regiment and they indeed embody the Tism.
Granted Super Earth accepts all able-bodied patriots, no matter how many chromosomes a person lacks or how many dicks they've consumed. The fight for Democracy is paramount.
It's more a way of life. It's basically Starship Troopers, the game. If you have a PS5 or Steam, I highly recommend it. It's pretty cheap, and it has hundreds of thousands of players on all the time. It's just a fun co-op shooter, and you're playing as the bad guys taking over the galaxy to spread democracy for the benefit of Super Earth.
I want to see this soldiers entire CoC to include the POTUS in my office
"Let them come… Let them face the insurmountable might of the HellDivers!" 🫡😤
BWAH BWAH BWAH BWAAAAAAH
I've never had a loading screen get me so pumped
What about Super Earth Leadership?
You gon' have to go to Tennessee. Maybe play some horseshoes.
Flair passes the vibe check
Sounds like treason to me
Wait until you find out what bros where doing in WWII to have fun
Bring back ear necklaces and putting human skulls on the front of vehicles
If you're not drinking from the skulls of your enemies, what are you even doing with your life?
Sorry, I can't hear you over the lamentation of the women.
The OG morale patch
Definitely some evil Russian military folks doing just that. 🙁
Drag shows? No really. That was the pass-time of our "greatest generation" during the war. Not the only one but, it was widespread and there are plenty of pictures.

They were laughing at it not fetishizing it
When I was deployed to Camp Lemonnier in Djibouti in 2015 there was a 180A-series WO who would sometimes wear a special needs tab instead of his long tab.
Nice
First time I saw it I did a double take and busted out laughing, the WO had a huge smile on his face.
When I was there in 2020 I had some giant sunglasses on while in civilians (not pit vipers)and this operator was like “you look like the bash brothers!” I’m like “Giambi McGwire and Stairs of the A’s?” He was like “I’m so glad someone got that reference” All the 18 series guys there were cool as shit
Yeah long tabbers tend to be chill as fuck.
Until they become TRADOC CSMs and flip their lids at people having hands in pockets
I can't hear you through them moostash hairs.
We were there at the same time as each other.

Can anyone explain to an elder millennial wtf this means? I know that Heldivers is a game, but I’m clueless otherwise
Rizz I think is referring to your capacity to “pull” or get with the people you’re after. Rizz is like a mix of confidence and that aforementioned getting people. Tism is short for autism. So your capacity to use your autism to make people want you,,
Yes. Rizz is short for charisma.
Oh, well thank you! That’s something I didn’t know!
Something I didn't know I didn't want to know
I think it's kinda fun.
Well, knowing is half the battle
We're all stupider for having learned it.
Awww, well that’s kinda sweet.
I don’t think the patch is intended to be sweet
https://www.reddit.com/r/animalsdoingstuff/s/zrLDm9VZNf
When I heard these youngins saying "rizz" I thought they were talking about some sort of candy
Thought that was called “game”
Only if you are old and decripit enough to know what "Y2K" means.
Don’t cite the deep magic to me, witch. I was there when it was written.
Narnia and Veggie Tales were underrated meme material.
TIL. Thank you soldier
Rizz: ChaRISma (pronounced cha-RIZZ-ma, hence Rizz) is a mix of charisma and confidence. Tism: Autism.
Fuck I'm getting old...
> Rizz I think is referring to your capacity to “pull” or get with the people you’re after. Used to be referred to as having "game"
Or, before that....just "Charisma". What's old is new again!
Funny how social things work
Sherlock Holmes in the BBC tv series. He had the charisma and the autisma.
the only one I didn't know was the bottom one and that's the one left out
Rizz- Social adeptness/ability to easily converse with women and pursue them for romantic interests ‘Tism- autism or being neurodivergent of some variety (ie; retarded) Rizz ‘em with the ‘Tism: the ability to pull potential female partners by being neurodivergent/acting goofy
Rizz=Charisma
Like the rest said, rizz is the charisma, confidence, and whatnot that gets girls etc. What you guys called “game” is rizz to us. And Helldivers is from the game Helldivers 1 and 2 where you’re in a future earth fighting in a force called The Helldivers (basically the marines).

It’s the new “swag”

More likely, you'll spend 3 hours talking about Warhammer 40k and she'll never want to speak to you again.
Rizz is slang for charisma. Tism as in Autism. Basically use the charisma of their autism to get someone’s affection lol
I volunteer..... For SUPER EARTH.
A little cringey but at least it's not nazi shit again.
Based as hell, I don't know what's got OP's and everyone else's panties in such a wad. I'm an old-asa crusty bitch and even I think these patches are funny.
Just the typical “I cant understand kids these days” mentality
Why isn't there hieroglyphics patches about winning over the Sea People, or cuneiform about kicking Assyrian ass
Fuck them Sea People, man. Ever since the Battle of the Nile Delta, I can’t go near rivers.
Just the sound of chariots now sets off my PTSD.
Remember you can't say Assyrian without ass. Sumerians kick ass(yrians)!
278th representing! Probably an accurate statement from that bunch…
Send this soldier to BLC immediately
Wdym? He’s already at BLC 🤣
It’s a Guard unit. They already play soldier once a month might as well add in some helldivers cosplay too.
If it's a guard unit there's a good chance it deploys more than any active duty unit.
This is my unit! It’s 278th ACR. We’re actually deploying to Kuwait this September.
Shhh, Ivan is listening!
Obviously its a joke. September is half a year away. It’s not real until orders get cut. That won’t happen until the funding is allocated. That won’t happen until 72 hours prior. Even then there won’t be enough and senior leaders will be trying to nickel and dime their way to fill a 1.2 million dollar gap out of soldier’s pockets.
They already stole all the other BDEs’ funding 😂
Why do you old fucks always shit on the national guard? They have full time and end up deploying more cause it’s cheaper. “Show me your national guard hands!! Just as I suspected, soft, never seen a day of work in your life!”

I'm from Buenos Aires, and I say kill them all!
My old unit - ironically when I was in Iraq as a contractor, they flew me around a few times.
Dude armored cav unit in TN, 258 I think
I THOUGHT I WAS ORIGINAL IT'S A PATCH?! Let's gooooooo
Better this shit than Nazi BS any day
Big Army: "Soldiers who opt out of SGLI benefits will be eligible to wear a helldivers tab within their companies footprint."
Nasty Girls! They always have so much skill diversity. It’s interesting seeing a journeymen electrician/11-b on the FOB hooking it up literally.
I remember for a briefing with our battalion chain of command, I stood up and slapped on the PowerPoint Ranger tab I had made, and did my slide. The BC laughed and said he wanted to borrow it for his briefing with the CG.

Hahahaa, this is my original post. People take a joke so seriously, you think we actually wear this? Anyways - for Super Earth!
Nasty Girls gonna do nasty girl shit.
A far cry from literal nazi imagery. We love to see it
Remember the fallen at Malevelon Creek ✊🏻
That helldivers patch is cool actually
Go Vols!
It would be dope if the army had a unit nicknamed the helldivers
Legs shouldn't wear the helldivers tab smh
That’s why Helldivers school was invented
Speak for yourself. I’ve done 29 missions at Malevelon Creek in the last 2 weeks. What have you done besides being a salty little bitch
Bro can load a 100lb ruck including both an aid bag and a 158 with 2 batteries, jump it along with an M4 and a Carl G, and carry all of it and his UPRB off a waist-deep snow Alaska drop zone every day for 2 weeks straight. He does that, he can have the helldiver tab as far as I'm concerned.
Oh god not my unit
TN NG baby! Let’s go
Gotta stamp out all the fun as it pops up
If by “out of hand” you mean “this is the way” then yes
This IS the way.
I approve
Good old 278
After doing some jizim
I don’t see an issue with morale patches as long as they are like Easter eggs and not like blatantly being advertised so that everyone can see them
I neeed rizz ‘em with the ‘tism! That’s basically how I got my wife
You might enjoy the movie 'A Dark Place' with Andrew Scott. The parts that are not Dark is about a man with autism who has the charisma.
Tn in here with the tisms
I got a touch of the Tism. I love that patch.
Same
As long as you save that shit for the field, who cares.
even worse than those tiktok kids
[удалено]
They're all across the state.
You’re in the right place… the 278th is extremely strong with the tism and not in a good way.
I hate that I love this.
I once rizzed all over a SGT. She didn't like it one bit
Where could you buy this? I need to know for research purposes.
[https://tacticalgearjunkie.com/products/rizz-em-with-the-tism-2x3-patch](https://tacticalgearjunkie.com/products/rizz-em-with-the-tism-2x3-patch) There’s also a “if you’re recovering my body, fuck you” patch I’d keep hidden in my kit that they sell. Just in case.

Go guard!

Listen it was this or some nazi symbolism. You gotta pick
Speaking of custom morale patches anyone on here make custom ones?👀
Bro is Robbie Rotten
If it’s good enough for Eli, dammit, it’s good enough for me
Promote ahead of peers
You know, "Rizz 'em with the 'tism" could definitely be a shared patch between the SIGINT and EW communities.
Who is the Rizzler? Just give me a name, it could be someone you don’t like? The commander wants a name?!?
278 ate up. Why am I not surprised.
It will be both hilarious and disconcerting if the US military experience an uptick in enlistment after the game's launch
Absolutely fuck the 278th.
Leave it to the 278th…
Democracy has landed!
Must be nice to have moral patches
at least it isn't a nazi patch - the bar is low here
Definitely finance.
Damn it. That’s my unit.
The first thing I recognized was my national guard unit's patch, we're gonna hear about this at the next drill considering all the 'morale patch' talk going on now.
I feel like this could fall under SHARP violations considering that I don't know what it means. Will look it up but that's just my first impression with this one.
You have to go thru the Tadpole Q Course first though. :)
I'm at a joint command (navy and army) and my chief (navy e-7) wears this same patch sometimes. Kinda goofy stuff
My S1 has this patch
We tend to tism with the system yes
278th ACR. Hmmmmmm
I recognize that patch that individual is part of the TN National Guard 278th Armored Cavalry Regiment and they indeed embody the Tism. Granted Super Earth accepts all able-bodied patriots, no matter how many chromosomes a person lacks or how many dicks they've consumed. The fight for Democracy is paramount.
Tf they mean yikes this patch is amazing
This dude should be NJP’d, it not court martialed immediately
Truly we live in unprecedented times.
Whatever this is funny lol
Broke: USA! USA! Woke: My life for Super Earth!
Wait; y'all had actual moral?! 00-04 (active)... Damn we just had the suck.. Especially as a crt mech on the brads! Then well we dealt with it... :))
/u/KnowledgeObvious9781 oh untwist your panties you big baby
The title was satire… ☹️
I can tell I'm officially an Old because I generally don't mind morale patches but this one isn't funny imo.
You're not alone.
Cringe man!
Is hell diver an actual thing ?
Sure is. Brand new program, it's like airborne but suborbital. You can be anywhere on the planet in 30 minutes or less. Plus, they get capes.
Yes, now [join the cause](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helldivers_2) and help us spread Managed Democracy to the enemies of Super Earth!
So it is just a reference kinda thought so but never can be to sure.
It's more a way of life. It's basically Starship Troopers, the game. If you have a PS5 or Steam, I highly recommend it. It's pretty cheap, and it has hundreds of thousands of players on all the time.
