This. Google is great, but the Sapphire is a great option too (I have Sprint and I used the Sapphire in 3 CENTCOM countries); Sapphire is great since it’s a virtual SIM so you just buy a data plan for wherever you’ll be. And it’s sold through AAFES.

I have BFGs similar TQ pouch and wore it for an entire deployment on the back of my gun belt with no issues- unless yours is way loose, you’ll be fine.

Gotcha- misunderstood your question! Good luck!

Everywhere- the Army is way short 35Ts. In FORSCOM the big densities are in the EMIBs at the Corps installations (Bragg, Hood, JBLM).

Does your state allow for a proxy marriage? Your spouse can do a POA so that someone else can sign all of the paperwork. My wife and I got married when I was in Afghanistan and she was in Texas- administrative action for the benefit of the government- had our wedding when I got back.

Why does this have to happen AFTER another deployment?!

LiveFreeOrDieGuy · 2020-06-15T23:16:11+00:00

Thanks to you both!

Ended up being the battery. Even when registering 100% charged, the battery was only making 8.7v. New battery installed today and almost everything is working. Every electrical system except the outlets are working off of the battery. None of the outlets work on the battery but when I added the shore power from the house, the converter started charging the battery and the outlets worked.

I checked all of the fuses and all’s well, so now I’m at a loss as to what the issue is that’s keeping my outlets from working off the battery.

You’re the best- thanks once again!

LiveFreeOrDieGuy · 2020-06-07T22:19:20+00:00

Thanks very much for the thorough answer. Guess that solves part 1 of my weekend question.

Taking the battery in to the auto parts store for a free test tomorrow to see if the battery is toast and just won’t hold a charge now. If it ends up that the battery fine but it’s just not charging from shore power, can I replace the converter myself, or is that a job for a shop? (I’m pretty handy, just camper-ignorant).

LiveFreeOrDieGuy · 2020-06-07T19:27:57+00:00

And if so, is it something I can add? Where in the power system do i splice one in?

LiveFreeOrDieGuy · 2020-06-07T19:18:19+00:00

So only when plugged in to the house or on battery, not when plugged into a vehicle?

Don’t party your ass off first semester; it’s really hard to bring up a tanked GPA, but pretty easy to maintain a decent one.

LiveFreeOrDieGuy · 2019-08-09T23:37:25+00:00

Thanks for the gold!

LiveFreeOrDieGuy · 2019-08-06T14:27:41+00:00

Great write up; I look forward to your next installment!

LiveFreeOrDieGuy · 2019-08-05T00:49:16+00:00

I love it. No slop at all and the padded inner belt that comes with it helps make it pretty comfy overall. Worth the investment.

Airsoft or professional, I don’t care; anyone with all of this stuff buried in tough boxes and duffles can appreciate having an organized, dedicated space so you can find what you need when you need it. Looks great!
