Strange. With your mom it takes pictures of Barry Manilow. To each his own, I guess.
Here you go. Enjoy.

Better than Globule's mom, who gets aroused at the sight of a donkey. |

| This thread is going to give me nightmares. I was an RTO for a long time and had to hump an ancient PRC-77 with KY-57 and all that crap. No wonder I have big legs. |

Sweet! And yes, I'm old enough to know what those things are. |

I'm just stunned that a thread involving primarily Scout and JK took this long before it devolved into a mom joke. And then went right back on topic thanks to Marcus. Amazing! |

Sometimes I awake at night in a cold sweat thinking I heard the beep caused by a KY-57 from someone keying their handset. Ugh.
I remember those damn cables breaking all the time. All that Vietnam era commo gear was so damn old (just like the old M-60's that couldn't fire 20 rounds without jamming). They were just coming out with Singars (sp?) when I got out. Now, those were high speed with the frequency jumping and what not.
Now they have GPS and laptops. Why, I remember back when we had to land nav by terrain recognition, a compass, and pace counting. Those were the days.
I bet they don't even make sand tables any more. Probably use Google earth.

Sorry to disappoint. Haven't been in a mom jokes mood lately. |

A) I liked the -60. Still do. I can probably still break it down and reassemble it...
B) SINCGARS - Single Channel Ground / Air Radio System (yeah, that's from memory).

I still used my compass. I actually bought one, with the tritium. Because I'm geeky like that. I might still have my sand table kit somewhere, too. I do know I have all my reports laminated in a small three-ring binder, with the appropriate alcohol pens.
Last time I was at the beach, I was measuring the distance between lifeguard towers by pace count, in order to determine how far we had walked.
I'm beyond weird. |

Wait. Canada has an army?
I love how educational this place is. Every day I learn something new and exciting. |

The 60 (Pig) was a great weapon but the ones we had just jammed all the time. I remember having to hump all the damn AG gear one time because the AG was a puss. There is no way to throw all that crap on or in a ruck and have it balanced.
I hated the SAW because they were a bitch to clean. Great weapon though.
For pace counting I had Ranger beads on my LBE. Anything I had laminated went in my K-pot.
When I was in basic training at Ft. Benning we still had the old steel piss pots with the helmet liners. Now that's old school. |

Oh this is the coolest race! I used to live down there and watched (too chicken) lots of people do it. You should go a few days early and play in the sand. Not that Marines do that or anything. |
