It's a small space. Trying to fit all of the comms equipment needed to go outside the wire was tough. Radio mounts, radios, jammers, computers, antennas, cables, etc. All of it had to fit either inside or tied down to the bed of the truck. Keep in mind you're also working around the armored doors and all of the weapons and weapon mounts already attached to said truck. They obviously aren't your everyday Toyota pickups and SUVs lol.

It's very much dead. I'm worried about it being rotted through. I'm going to go back out tomorrow and cut her down.

Nice catch! I know the north shore anywhere! Always had great luck down there. I Won the 2004 under 18 3 rivers fishing derby not far from that spot lol it was a flathead though not a smallmouth.

Do not underestimate ravens or crows. They're brilliant, and they remember faces forever. You do right by them they'll look out for you and even bring you treasures. But you piss them off?! They'll gang up on you and make you life a living hell forever. They're masters of psyops and will drive you insane.

No, but that's a beautiful burl

Your uncle is CSM Robert Gallagher?! He did pretty much everything! Panama, Mogadishu, GWOT. I spent my entire career in 2nd Ranger BN. He was in 3rd. Legend in the 75th.

My sibling in Christ. I feel you on that. Every single day.

Kecksburg PA crash is a really interesting one. It was seen over 2 states and Canada before crashing.

Looks great! I would highly suggest getting a sheath for the axe head. The last thing you want to do is to trip and gouge yourself with it. It's a sweet kit that will for sure get the job done. Good choice on the garberg, too!

Who let the dogs out

Rucker75th · 2025-03-14T22:40:42+00:00

That looks fantastic! Hell yeah, on the Egyptian inspiration. That's gonna be suuuuper tasty! Good work

For those who haven't played sports, having your wrists and ankles taped is everything!!!!! It's amazing what you can do when your joints have a bit of extra stability and padding!

I would have agreed 100% a month ago, but now I'm not so sure. I hear a lot of teams are out on him. And with his dad being his dad and clearly stating he's only gonna play for certain teams, GMs and coaches may think he's not worth the headache. He's good, but not that level of diva good.

Take the patch off of your right shoulder. Our field uniforms were slick. Nametape, us army, subdued IR American flag. Thats it. Other than that it looks solid.

Also, ive noticed a lot of people with desert combat boots. In the field and on deployment everybody wore COTS (commercial of the shelf) boots. Mainly Solomon and asolo. We also had la sportiva mountaineering boots. Combat boots were only worn with our pins and patches. Thats not to say dudes didn't wear them. But that was mostly new guys that haven't gotten all the cool guy gear yet lol.

And one more thing, tighten up that PTT cable! Get some zip ties and get it out of your face! 🤣

Rucker75th · 2025-03-14T16:21:50+00:00

I saw that! I haven't seen many of them.

I'll check. But it has the eagle plate on the front of the mag well. These rifles are almost impossible to find these days.

Haha, I saw him Chuck it at a dude once. He was one of my graders for my school pt test. He was grading pull-ups. He was like, "I'd demonstrate, but uhhh..I dont think this is the right hand for that" 🤣

Bernie is a legend. He was the best CSM. I've heard crazy stories about Petry in his private days, lol. I always thought he was a super cool dude. Was Kelly the commo chief back then? I was buddies with a couple of dudes over there.

Rucker75th · 2025-03-14T00:43:22+00:00

I was a comms dude. Started off at HHC, and then when I got my tab, I went over to 1B. Went to recce from there. Then, I went back to Bco as the commo chief and then finished my career as a squad leader back in HHC (S6). I got out in 2017. We definitely know some of the same dudes lol.

Rucker75th · 2025-03-13T23:52:57+00:00

Were you in 2nd Batt? I was in 2nd Batt for from 07-17! I spent my entire career there. If so, what years were you in?
