RPG screen…Don't forget your rolls of chain link fence. I always wondered what they were for when I saw them headed out the gate. My buddy in the 25th Mech told me.
It's a good 5 hour drive for me.
When I was stationed as the Guard Chief at NWS Seal Beach, Ca. There was a facility that belonged to the Navy Recruiting District. They made lots of stuff for the recruiters for thier offices. But they also made models of ships. They were about 20+ feet long and were mounted on trailers for parades. Thehad a battleship or two and were working on a carrier. They made us 40 resin Iwo Jima statues to use as centerpieces on tables for the final USMC Ball of the Barracks before we closed it and turned the base security over to the Navy.
Will be back close next week and I'll ask. Only thing I can think of is a sonar " ping"….
Clear bottle on the side of helmet is first type, nasty stuff.All branches of the services have some form of Bug Juice. This is one if you gotta ask, you weren't there!

I see the 4 pack of Winstons and I think I see a whole pack of Lucky Strikes. The PX usually had a pretty good selection. I smoked Old Gold but they did not come in C-rats.Clear bottle on the side of helmet is first type, nasty stuff.
I hated those gnats especially in the chow line. They would be on the back of your neck and really annoying. You couldn't scratch and if you did a D.I. would be there to jump all over you. Besides the bugs needed to eat too was their excuse.Grandson is probably up to his rear end in these about now..............
