What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

3M is amazing stuff, one of the Big 3! With Velcro, Duct Tape, 3M Foam Tape, and a good knife you can get around just about anything.

 

Nice ride Bud!

 

It’s ok. I now know that your smart enough to understand pictures! I was stuck into a few rifle companies. Never with a mortar unit but as a Forward Observer you would think I would have been. But nope. I got a CIB but cannot wear it. All for calling in fires for them.

 

Welcome to TW Bud!

 

So as an FO. I was the only guy that was pulled from my unit and sent to other units. I was put into a few cav units and they all wore Stetson and they were leg units. So I always showed up in my PC. They would say something like where’s your beret? So I would whip out my maroon beret and they would all shut up and say put your pc on. Turned out they didn’t like the guy coming from an airborne unit into their leg unit.

 

I have mad respect for the FO's that were sliced to me. COLT teams they were called. We would be walking forever thinking we were hard, and then get those guys sliced with all that GLID shizzle they hump and was instantly humbled.

 

Nothing wrong with a little humility from time to time, tends to keep both feet firmly planted on the ground. I take my hat off to all you guys and gals in our armed forces. You're all amazing and I thank you all for your service to our country.
God Bless you all and God Bless America!

PS: I seldom take my hat off for anything, keeps my bald spot from showing.

 

Yea I was stuck to a sniper section. They were bitching about how much they had to carry. I came in with an empty bag and their supply sgt was just dropping off gear left and right. Then one guy goes “at least you don’t have to carry any batteries.” Next up came 3 5590 batteries. They gave me more respect and didn’t say much. To me. Until they needed me. They were taking fire and I stopped using my rifle. Sat down behind a truck tire up against my back. Got a drink then pulled out my map and compass. They started yelling for me to get back into the fight. I told them I’m in the fight. Then I yelled get down. They looked at me like I was dumb. The next ten mins they were in awe of the destruction I could cause and had caused.

 

Did the Sprint Booster come with the mounting panel for the controller?

 

What is a sprint booster?

 

Gotcha. My FO when I was an infantry PL was the man. He was JFO qualified and due to that my CO would always steal him from my platoon. It takes a certain skill to be able to be reading a map, plotting distances, checking mils, hearing 2 radios simultaneously, and talking to people in person all the while calling in fires.

 

I too am JFO & JTAC qualified. Or was. Last control was in 2012.

 

I know this isn't the thread for this sort of thing, but being a holiday, maybe I'll catch a break.

I'm looking to replace the oem polished stainless step bars on my AC with some black power coated ones (5" curved oval). I may regret this, the stainless ones generally have a better warranty, implying they'll hold up better.

Nonetheless, does anyone have a brand they could recommend?

Steelcraft, Lund, Westin, and Ionic all have models for this application, and they all look pretty much the same.

Nice! Really digging the tent; where from?

 

Condor is actually fairly cheap but still decent. Nothing I would’ve used down range but day to day stuff, I’d buy it every time. They have quite a few good pouches and bags.

 

Danger close please, I want to see Jesus.

 

Details PLEASE. How so?

 

Martin's mobile gears did my re-gear over 2 years ago not a single issue! Martin knows his gears!

 

Yep. They are called crawfish boils where i come from.
