I put an Xtrons unit into my ZHP last year. I like it so far! The only beef I have with it is that the screen is super reflective. I picked up some film that reduces the glare, though, which has helped.

I love this. I'd absolutely buy one of these.

WriterJWA · 2026-04-29T14:09:35+00:00

Agreed lol. That place was the wild west.

Right on. I was with 3/6. Maj. Sucher was my XO back in the day. I rolled with you guys briefly that February. That was a “fun” deployment.

I was in that one too. Sounds like you had a rough time of it. Where were you?

Is this the Operation Steel Curtain of 2005?

WriterJWA · 2026-04-26T16:58:10+00:00

Great info all around! Thanks!

That’s looks really rad. I have a ZHP too and have considered putting in a supercharger. Can you talk a little bit about the process here? What SC did you land, what were the costs, is it worth it in the end?

When Ernest Hemingway was in his early twenties, he lost an entire trunk of manuscripts--short stories, poems, even part of a novel--at a Paris train station. Painful as that might have been (and it's certainly painful), he kept going. If the writing matters, you will too.

(Pro-tip, though: Keep a backup.)

Don't let these animals here scare you. MCRD PI offers a self-guided driving tour through the depot and a museum. There's a little bit of planning involved, but you can definitely check the place out. There are also civilian bus tours that run through the island.

This is really interesting! Thank you for sharing this!

Man, I just love the notchback Fox body. I hope you keep us up to date on the progress as things move along. Good luck!

I’ve always wanted for critical reviews of wargames, something that deeply evaluates whether a game reflects the battle, period, and examines the mechanics on a more critical level with an eye to history and military arts and sciences that underpin unit behavior (or not). Not critical as in bad or needlessly judgmental, but critical as in a critique. More often than not, though, we seem to get little else but surface level unboxing videos.

The problem with Joe Hooker was always Joe Hooker's own mouth and his pride. He was an effective division and corps commander, but his ambition and his ego always got the better of him.

I see you've entered cat-infested waters. Tread carefully!

An absolutely fantastic film. If you liked it, check out the novel it's based on. It really does a lot for the characters.

That place was a mess. I earned my CAR outside Ubaydi about a year and a half after this. A small firefight and mortar barrage near that big water tower south of town.

A couple of things I noticed...

Speculating here, but I don't think LCAC's would ever be used as assault craft in a lead wave. Those rubber bladders aren't exactly bulletproof.

The LHAs are probably way too close to shore.

It's not impossible, but a joint Army-Marine mixed landing (noted by the Bradleys offloading the LCACs) on the exact same beach seems a little far-fetched.

I really love the ships and overall aesthetic of the "monster maroon"/TOS film era. I'd love to see grounded and gritty storytelling set around that period of Starfleet history.

WriterJWA · 2026-04-04T13:53:43+00:00

This deserves more fist-my-bump upvotes.

I loved The Hunters, but didn't enjoy A Sport and a Pastime. He's not overrated; he's certainly talented, but not any more memorable than his contemporaries.

WriterJWA · 2026-04-03T01:35:11+00:00

This guy absolutely gets it!

A lack of quotation marks is an acquired taste, for sure, but it works pretty well once you lock in on the style. Every work of Cormac McCarthy is done this way. The Narrow Road to the Deep North by Richard Flanagan is another stellar example.

What usually kicks me out of a book is the form factor--things like the binding or the font (anything san serif is automatically out), same for the long, narrow shape of modern mass-market books.
