Let us remember that this thread is over 4 years old now. Good for reflection, but not current commentary.

I have learned that ANY learning curve that contains VERTICLE SLOPES will probably kill you if you fail the "learning" part. Just sayin'. Carry on.

Quick reference help? Can someone please post the page in the TM that shows the assembly or parts breakdown of the Fuel Primer Pump for the M809 Series Trucks? Thanks in advance. (Scrolling through 1338 pages on a small screen is a booger.)

Welcome aboard :-D Find a bunk, stow your gear, and prepare to get underway :driver:

Watching and cheering for our northern neighbors. Carry on.

Thanks for that info. The bird that picked me up at the small airfield at Ft. George G. Meade, Maryland was definitely jet powered though. When I got onboard the only vacant seat was the forward facing one by the door. My knee was rubbing the short stowed boarding ladder for the short flight...

I would like to PRE-ORDER a signed FIRST EDITION of the AAR (After Action Report) on this mission.... Successful or Not. :popcorn: . :shock: . :shrugs: . :grd: . :nothingfunny: . :recovry4x4: . 2cents . :driver: . :popcorn:

I just read the WIKI about the S-3 Viking. I am CONFUSED. In the late 70's I did one carrier landing aboard a similar aircraft that had the same apparent external configuration but was internally configured for TWO Cockpit Crew + 5 Passengers (four facing aft - for less traumatic carrier...

I'm the one in the Black TFT T-Shirt and red suspenders. The other is Santa. ROFLMBO

Rocky, Suffice it to say that the Santa-Scan-O-Meter is PEGGED.... but I will exercise my God-given right to disclosure and NOT state to which end of the scale the needle is pressing.. What happens between me and my Mrs. Claus at the North Pole stays at the North Pole ! Carry on.

Steve, We actually had the day broken into three shifts for the Firefighter and Intel Students. That Group shot is just the 0800 shift at the beginning of the day. We had some Marines so enthusiastic that they signed up for ALL THREE shifts !!! Great young men and women - all of them. John

San Angelo, Texas The Last 12-Hour Donation Drive was yesterday (Saturday)... Here's some photographic evidence as my AAR on the event..... Receiving orders and logging emergency numbers into each Marine's cell phone. What an outstanding group! Though ready to fight ISIS, they are also...

She's quite a bird indeed. We should all look and perform so well in our 60's. Carry on.

My father was in the US Army, stationed in the Panama Canal Zone at the close of WWII. He became a avid fan of the engineering of the canal's operational components, including and especially the MULES that are used to pull (and brake) the ships traversing the locks. As this thread's HET needs...

Short answer: You CAN but it's potentially hazardous to your batteries' health. While a USB Charger will be an almost insignificant LOAD on the one battery, folks have often used the 12 volt (half battery bank) to power their heavier load inducing equipment such as fire truck emergency lights...

Let's remember to do the math on this ship movement. The reality of it is that the true load is not the weight of the cargo but the FRICTION in the bearings. Overcoming the initial inertia (from stationary to any speed above 0) is the hardest part of the job. Even stopping will eventually...

Prayers UP for your rapid repair and reset recovery mission. Keep us posted. John
