With President Trump’s recent deployment of the Army National Guard in Washington, D.C. last month—and with more cities planned for the future—we thought it was wise to give our jibber homies a quick guide on how to navigate troops when you’re in the streets.

Play it Cool: Ok, first things first, relax. Yes, the United States Army may be descending onto U.S. city streets, and yes, they may be pulling up on you, guns drawn, while you’re trying to hit a spot. But take a deep breath, at least it’s not a rival crew.

Be Polite: Go ahead, make small talk. The blanket of a good conversation is here to keep you warm in this cold, tyrannical winter. Say something like: Oh, you were in Kabul? No, I’ve never been there. I don’t think they get that much snow.

Or, if encountering an ICE agent, say something complimentary like: Love how you’re bringing back the Balaklava. It looks great on you!

Gaslight: Police State be damned! You didn’t just spend thirty hours in a car to not get a clip. And realistically, this is kickout 101: No, moving snow from one side of the field to the other is not damaging property. If anything, your tank tracks are doing the real damage.

Deflect: U.S. crews have an advantage here, but placing blame on others is as American as the city you’re jibbing in, so why not just run with it. This one is easy, too. If ICE pulls up on you while you’re hitting a spot, just point a finger at that foreign crew down the road. A quick: Between you and me, I heard Paid Programming is at that quad kink in the park, can do wonders!

Enlist: Look, we’ve all been there. It’s the end of a trip, and you have nothing to show for it. So, if all else fails, just enlist. The rigors of combat should be enough to take your mind off that clip drought, and besides, we know you’re already wearing camo pants, so you’ll fit right in.
