It’s hard to Run-Around in that vest

I wear the hell out of cargo shorts and I agree with your points. I also wear Levi’s carpenter shorts that have small pockets on the side that carry a water bottle perfectly.

My Dad had a 1990 B2200 Ext Cab manual tranny that he bought new. I got it in 97 when I got my license. Had a lot of memories in that truck. Everytime a girl rode me in the passenger seat, her ankles would get scratched up from the seat frame. My Dad sold it in 2003. It had 300k+ miles and still ran like new. Only…

First beer: 8 years old, hanging out with Uncles and the boys. My Dad let me have a Budweiser. My Cousin and I had more than 1. We kept grabbing them and pretending it was the same one my Dad let me have. Fast forward a few hours and I was fugged up. We walked a few blocks home. My Dad walked, he had to carry me…

The Chinook’s center cargo hook has a structural load limit of 26,000 lbs. The forward hook and aft hook have a structural load limit of 17,000 lbs. each. When the forward and aft hook are used in tandem (like the picture above), the structural load limit is 25,000 lbs. The max gross weight of the CH-47 is 50,000 lbs.

My wife and I decided that we’re going to retire in Alaska and get a cabin.

Chinooks have been my profession for the last 18 years. If any of you want to check out some videos of training, etc., here is my YouTube channel. These are videos we show for family days and other events.

I work as an FI at Rucker with the active duty, many of which I served with. Sadly, only a few of us came in as 67U. All the others came in as 15U. Damn millennials

You should participate in Deadspin Up All Night (DUAN) every night on Deadspin. Posts like these are the norm and there is a core group of “regulars” on there and we’re open to new people participating.

You can try the U.S. Army Transportation Museum at Fort Eustis, VA outside of Newport News.

They won’t be as stealth when the Army makes the riders wear a reflective belt

I use a $5 digital gauge and I keep it in my door panel. It’s usually within 0.5 psi to my TPMS. I personally use digital or the the old kind that pop out from the bottom. With the needle and gauge type, they're calibrated and have too many moving parts. Them being tossed around can throw the reading off.

These solar powered UAVs act as mobile satellites that is much cheaper than going into space. It’s designed to fly for 5 years.

I don’t listen to any new stuff. Mostly 90's & Grunge and I had downloaded most of it during Napster’s heyday. I still buy CDs on occasion. I use iTunes and stream with iHeart Radio.

Tyler, not Taylor.

I’ve owned 3 Gerber multitools. One of them lost the spring action when squeezing the handles; another one lost the spring action to put the handles back in the nominal position. My 3rd one I received as a gift. It has the same access to the tools as the Wave. I don’t like the feel of it. Plus the sheaths suck. I just…

They should dispatch some UAVs instead of helos. They have proved themselves worthy in situations like this detecting hot spots in wildfires to aid in firefighting. That info can be beneficial on the convoy route.

As an Instructor/Facilitator, it’s important to get a feel for a person’s personality type. Introverts vs. Extroverts. It’s up to me to try keep everyone involved in a group setting. If someone is shy or is overbearing, I have to persuade the conversation into the desired direction. Same goes for meetings. A great…

The shitty reality is that kids aren’t building or repairing things anymore. Schools are cutting shop classes, etc. Kids aren’t going to find if they have a passion for anything if they’re not exposed to it. It’s always good to have a trade, especially if you can fall back on it.
