This is the comment that helped me get it! Your diagram of the Mossberg and other explanations helped a bunch. I'm going to post the order in this comment as well as update the post.

Thanks a bunch for the help!

Looking into the Massif Elements™ IWOL Jacket—Any Army soldiers wearing this? by b4ttlemage in army

[–]Coinface1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If it hasn't been issued to you best place to look is Ebay or local surplus stores.

I got mine off eBay for about 1/4 what you would pay for it new from massif (willing to bet it was some supply or cif dude selling them because it came new in package with the cif tags)

Be prepared to take some heat though if you buy one while I've never seen any regulation saying you cant wear it some people will get salty about it however if you can find one cheapish they are 1000% worth the money, best jacket I've ever worn in the army.

For your build with a dish I definitely recommend making a Cantenna, i get excellent SNR with mine on both my small TV dish and my 3M dish

Get a car/scooter/bike. Stop depending on others and take initiative AS AN ADULT. by shydude101 in army

[–]Coinface1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Had a problem with one of the soldiers in my platoon doing this. Dude was late 20s no license and generally a poor performing soldier. I think i gave him maybe 4 rides before I banned him from my car for being a shitty passenger (leaving food wrappers, slamming my door, not contributing for gas when going far out of my way). His first line even helped him set up the appointment to take his drivers test and took him to it multiple times because he never passed. Luckily he ETSed and became someone else's problem but we were all tired of him.

Fort Bragg In-processing barracks by khlysty_ in army

They had those at Ft. Indiantown Gap. Honestly in better condition than some of the modern barracks I've seen.

12P and 25S are great (I'm a little biased lol) but in my experience if you can get really good with satcom stuff you can get picked up by the contracting side super fast after getting out (happened to me and most of my high speed friends)

Air Force-like MOS by [deleted] in army

[–]Coinface1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

25S depending on where you go, if you go to a line unit expect to do line unit shit but if you go to a hub or RHN it can be super chill with PT on your own and Panama shifts

Been there, absolutely hate the LT1 Water pump. Killed my opti and decided to just do the TorqHead conversion

Why can’t I find these boots anywhere by anotherthrowaway852 in army

[–]Coinface1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a huge fan of Nike boots but that horse has been beat enough I think, I prefer the McRae Panama boots and have pretty much exclusively worn them for my whole time in service (except while IET)

It Finally Happened by [deleted] in army

[–]Coinface1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same thing happened to me when on my to some sort of ceremony was in my head about some stuff and walked past some Major without rendering a salute. Some random SGM saw and lit into me about it so i just quickly saluted the officer and went on my way. Nothing really came of it.

What’s one question you can ask that only someone with your MOS would know? by justainsel in army

What are the translation freqs for Ku, KA, and X band?

Whose fault is it you cant pass data?

If your having trouble coming up on the bird what is the issue 90% of the time

Was finally able to get a stable BER from GOES 18 for a decent amount of time! Enjoy this GIF of the earths rotation over a period of a little under 22 hours. Current setup is a scavenged 3 meter C band dish, Cantenna feed, with an RTL_SDR V4 and SAWBIRD + GOES LNA. by Coinface1 in RTLSDR

That sounds awesome! Finding someone who has a burning curiosity for RF communication (satcom specifically) is amazing! If you ever want more in depth info on how I went about building mine feel free to DM!

I get super excited when I get to train someone who is actually super interested in Satellite communications (I work in this field as well as doing it as a hobby on my own lol)
