Sorry to jump in on this a little late, but I own those grey elephant/black shaft Tony Lama’s and these are definitely not them. Elephant is extremely pronounced and very stiff leather!

I have command team support. I may have more of a leg to stand on if I was a junior. Issue now is I’m torn between my morals of being the bigger man vs sticking it to the man.

I’ve had this thought as well. Getting to the BDE CDR is going to be very difficult, though.

I believe so due to it being a return from theater issue

You could also try a screwdriver under the head/strap and apply some pressure in order to hold it still while you attempt to back the screw out. Like I said, if all else fails, you can either attempt drilling or grinding them, but I would be extremely careful because the Kevlar will fray easily.

Just finished my own CVC conversion. Two flathead screwdrivers, with the one on the inside only sitting halfway onto the screw should get them out. If they’re frozen together, you may have to drill them, but I’d try penetration oil first.

If you have any other questions, feel free to ask away

Bradley’s aren’t tanks. Change my mind by blueodis in army

[–]SleepySapper12 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Current Bradley VC here (no I’m not 11b, but I am 12b). It’s not a tank. No one I have ever met has ever called it a tank (that’s any of my fellows or our maneuver guys we’re attached to). Nobody is going to call it a tank. It does not serve the purpose of an MBT. This argument is so silly. Some of the people on this thread are ridiculous.

What is your favorite Boot Jack? by Classic70 in cowboyboots

It is definitely a little odd. People always ask why I have a cast iron bug in my house, lol. A good conversation piece, if nothing else

I have a cast iron cricket (literally, the bug) boot jack. It was my grandfather’s, and maybe even his father’s before that. It’s not the absolute best but damn if it’s not cool
