Thanks Voodooman.......yes, that is what I am referring to.
Just a Hairy Special Snowflake supply clerk with no field experience, shooting an Asymetric carbine as a Try Hard. Snarky and easily butt hurt. Favorite animal is the Cape Buffalo....likely indicative of a personality disorder.

I qual'd on the M4 last week and needless to say some of the shooters in the bay next to me would have had multiple silver oak leaves on that patch. I probably earned one myself since I'd constantly telling the instructor my rifle (beat to crap training gun) was bone-dry and asked for some CLP to get it in mildly functional condition, but he kept saying that it'd be fine. Fast forward to constant failures to lock the bolt back on every mag I was issued (including some PMags), multiple failures to feed and double-feeds (I suspect those were user error as I kept trying to clear the stoppage and induced the double-feeds, potentially getting me the patch myself) when the instructor who was visibly baffled ad how poorly my rifle was doing asked me what was wrong. I reminded him that I'd been pointing out that my rifle wasn't lubed so during a break in shooting, he tore the rifle down and (surprise, surprise) I was right: no lube whatsoever. Cue the instructor trying to blame me for it when a Major vouched for my side of the story on being ignored when I said my rifle needed to be lubed. After basically soaking the BCG in CLP, the gun ran without further issue (therefore I nominate the instructor for the patch).

I was on the range in Afghanistan with an Army unit a few years ago and the M4's and M9's were bone freakin' dry. After I offered some lubricant, and when judiciously applied, the weapons did not "attract dirt", nor did they spontaneously seize up. There's a tremendous amount of urban legend BS in the military that just refuses to die.
