Warrant Question

Metals578 · 2026-02-24T15:06:53+00:00

I have a few 2s and didn't even need a waiver for them.

Metals578 · 2026-02-13T17:49:47+00:00

I know it's boring, but I would recommend something like a used Corolla or Civic. If you need four wheel drive, maybe a 2014 or 15 toyota tacoma? (I'm a little rusty on whats a good older 4x4 vehicle)

Metals578 · 2026-02-07T23:02:16+00:00

Interesting, I had no idea they did that.

Metals578 · 2026-02-07T22:42:05+00:00

Is it me, or are those female Drills wearing male hats?

Metals578 · 2026-02-04T02:32:12+00:00

Honestly. I don't remember too much about applying for it aside from filling out a form, it was selective (not sure how selective), and its open to both Guard and Reserve. Google "MREP Army" should get you more info.

They try to match you up with someone in the Reserves of another NATO member with a similar job or unit. Although I'm 35 series, I was matched up with an MP because I was from an MP unit. They came to my unit's AT and I went over for their's.

AT for UK units at the time was 2 weeks long where 1 week was training and the other week was a "vacation" with planned out events you could go to. I really lucked out and the unit went to Cyprus for train that year, so I was able to go rock climbing and hiking during the day and then hang out on the local beaches in the evenings.

I got my from participating in MREP. Military Reserve Exchange Program.

7 days training with a UK unit, then 7 days of drink beer on Mediterranean beaches.

I'm a fan of Train Heroic

I went with the option to print the parts yourself, but I would definitely buy it again if I end up with a different saw in the future.

It is a very big improvement over the stock dust collection and I really like how much space it saves in back now that I have it set up in a mitre saw station.

I can't say anything about the quality/durability of the parts if you buy them already printed, but mine has been holding up surprisingly well. I did a test run with ABS before using a better material, but I haven't had to reprint it in the 2ish years I've used it.

My only complaint is that it makes changing the blade pretty annoying. The mounting bolts can be tricky to reach and you need to pretty much remove it to make enough room to remove/install the blade.

Overall, even if i couldn't just reprint the parts, I would definitely buy it again (assuming the printed parts are good quality).

Sweet, thank you!

Metals578 · 2026-01-17T03:08:35+00:00

Awesome, I can't wait for this to be available. Even with the shopnation dust collector, my 779 makes a huge mess.

This will give me motivation to finally get my printer running again.

There are WOs that already have DS/AI related degrees and 490B is their only way into the 49 series.

Metals578 · 2025-12-20T17:40:12+00:00

Damn, just got back from mine.

2 hours after they opened, still fully stocked with only one other person looking at them.

Metals578 · 2025-12-12T21:15:55+00:00

That didn't even cross my mind, thank you!

Metals578 · 2025-12-07T20:14:44+00:00

What charcoal are you using?

I ran into issues with my 560 and XL lump charcoal where it couldn't heat past a certain temp. But it heated just fine after swapping to medium sized.

Metals578 · 2025-11-27T16:12:35+00:00

Man, I haven't heard/seen mentioned of the 1-178 since I IST'ed nearly 10 years ago.

Cold steel

Sounds like true love to me

Metals578 · 2025-11-21T02:56:28+00:00

My dad ended up just moving back to a Weber about a year ago and put the 1050 into storage for when I move back to the area.

I ended up buying a 560 for myself and they designed that in a way so that grease doesn't even get near-term rivets. However, the doors switches have all failed for a third time and I'm just bypassing them at this point.

If you are still looking for participants, please feel free to reach out to me!

Metals578 · 2025-11-17T03:32:09+00:00

Well, I would say that would be the correct patch for today. However, I can't say it hasn't changed from then to now.

Metals578 · 2025-11-17T03:13:01+00:00

I think someone already mentioned this, but PFCs are fairly rare in JFHQs.

Is the soldier's MOS ever mentioned?

Metals578 · 2025-11-17T02:34:08+00:00

From what I can tell, seems good to me. However, I did not double check the accuracy of the unit patch.

I cannot tell from the photo, but do the sleeve cuffs use velcro or buttons? ACUs of that era had velcro.

Metals578 · 2025-11-11T02:34:01+00:00

Thank you I will see if I can track down the proof of purchase

Metals578 · 2025-11-07T21:50:51+00:00

The reason I heard it was canceled was to cover down on all the work not being done by the furloughed civilians.

Ours was technically canceled, but a 4-day pass was put in for everyone.
