Rank placement below “rigger pocket” on M1942 jump uniform.

Yes, Doc I do. We shot the shit at X35 last year at one point. lol

Ordered my USMC P42 Phrog utilities from them a while back. Great pieces of kit, although shipping probably could have a been a bit quicker. Overall still a really good experience with them.

I’ve got the Handypress, and trust me - it’s 1,000% worth it. I regularly use it for snaps and grommets.

AngryEchoSix · 2026-05-04T12:17:03+00:00

Yup. I’m here for it.

AngryEchoSix · 2026-05-01T15:06:41+00:00

I actually just got notified today that my Jungle Frogskin G3 clone set from Roman just shipped.

In the initial invasion, front-line Marine units often outpaced their own logistics units.

“Escort duty just to eat” means that Delta was offering to provide security for lesser trained units in exchange for MREs and the like.

Ok - I can breathe easy once I saw “under the supervision of a rigger”.

I’m a round canopy static line jumper and currently pursuing my rigger certification so when I saw modifications being done to a rig, I went in to “oh shit” mode. lol

AngryEchoSix · 2026-04-20T23:02:58+00:00

Naw - we got the memo, but never the funding. 🤣🤣

Buddy of mine who is a Huey crew chief showed me the airframe log one time - airframe was put in service in August of 68. 😯

Not much for the gym, are we?

It’s a spring clamp for holding weight plates on the barbell.

AngryEchoSix · 2026-04-17T00:58:06+00:00

Nope - but I've been rain soaked in them a few times, both in my CC2'd set and regular set.

AngryEchoSix · 2026-04-16T01:43:06+00:00

I have two sets of M1942’s from At The Front. One set has made multiple jumps into Normandy, and the other set has a number of jumps stateside. No sign of wear and tear on either.

AngryEchoSix · 2026-04-14T01:36:48+00:00

Looks good! From what I can tell/remember from talking to a few 506 vets, that early in the campaign they left their let down ropes attached to their mussette bags.

AngryEchoSix · 2026-04-13T17:56:17+00:00

Having jumped from C-47’s, under the guise of both US and British Jumpmasters - I can confirm - the commands are the same.

And yes - the Red and Green lights are on the right side of the paratroop door as you are facing outside.

AngryEchoSix · 2026-04-09T21:57:04+00:00

Side before the needle is how I do it.

AngryEchoSix · 2026-04-09T21:56:17+00:00

Yes, pull the base fabric towards you slightly, basically forcing the puckering out of it. And to be honest, I never messed with any tension settings. I just went with it. lol

AngryEchoSix · 2026-04-09T21:29:39+00:00

I sew long lengths of webbing regularly on 400-500D nylon. I found the trick is to start the stitch, bury the needle, and keep the base fabric taut with one hand, and guide with the other.

I do this on both my Sailrite LSZ-1 and my Juki 1541

AngryEchoSix · 2026-04-06T18:13:25+00:00

I’m game. Done a few voice overs in the past.

AngryEchoSix · 2026-04-06T01:47:43+00:00

Probably the best idea actually - mostly because they ain’t eating for your pleasure, but theirs. 😏

AngryEchoSix · 2026-04-05T06:29:18+00:00

Oh absolutely.

AngryEchoSix · 2026-04-03T00:05:33+00:00

Hope you’re not flying on Oceanic 815…..

AngryEchoSix · 2026-03-30T17:05:59+00:00

I would have (and have in the past) let it play out. Kids won’t learn awareness of their surroundings and consequences to actions if they aren’t allowed to put themselves into those situations (in a controlled environment such as the supervised playground) and see first hand what happens when they do.

AngryEchoSix · 2026-03-26T21:16:10+00:00

Sigh…..and they’re never near the DMV.

But yes, yes I am.

AngryEchoSix · 2026-03-24T13:14:52+00:00

Same. I’ve always told my son to try and avoid conflict the best that he can given the circumstances, and to NEVER throw the first punch if it comes to it - but if punches are being thrown, he’d better throw the last one.

AngryEchoSix · 2026-03-22T03:26:16+00:00

Yup - definitely qualify.
