ChaseFan9 Posted June 19, 2015 Report Posted June 19, 2015 Y'all think it's humid in those places?!?! <lmao> <laughs> Right? Y'all come out to SE Georgia (or Cajun country), we'll show you some humid heat. It's almost 1a.m. over here. I just walked out on the porch, and it's 90°F and 80% humidity!

I just walked out on the porch, and it's 90°F and 80% humidity! Done did did it. I've done the hardest things a real man can do, as far as Georgia is concerned. Fort Benning, Georgia. Airborne School in July, Ranger School August through October. First 2 of 4 phases were in Georgia. Next Georgia "Hot!" story, please... <lmao>

planeflyer21 Posted June 19, 2015 Report Posted June 19, 2015 AC in the work truck waves the white flag around 102°. Rest of the day is like climbing in the oven. I wondered how you keep your svelt figure. GITMO in the waters around Cooba, in July and August. No such thing as "dry".
mrmackc Posted June 19, 2015 Report Posted June 19, 2015 Don't let anybody tell you otherwise. I hate this fukin place. I just can't give in to those Arizona boys.............for now that is. <lmao> don't think of it as "giving in", sometimes a man has gota do what a man does, even if it turns out bad! LOL
beachmaster Posted June 19, 2015 Author Report Posted June 19, 2015 I went to fort Benning in June, then went to Airborne school. I have got to say... I am glad that I didn't go to Rasp afterwords ;-)

jtallen83 Posted June 19, 2015 Report Posted June 19, 2015 I went to fort Benning in June, then went to Airborne school. I have got to say... I am glad that I didn't go to Rasp afterwords ;-) Arrived in Benning late June for basic/AIT then did Jump school before heading out to HAAF in Savannah. By the time I got to the swim test in RIP they had to break the ice off the pool so I got a taste of both extremes that year. Those swamps down in Ft. Stewart were no picnic either, I looked forward to training at NTC just to get out of the humidity!
beachmaster Posted June 20, 2015 Author Report Posted June 20, 2015 I was supposed to be in the last Rip class ever, before it changed to Rasp. I had an rg40v contract I believe it was. Everyone who had the contract was lied to and told that if we didn't have a pt score of 330 on the pt test in 3 days, that we would loose our contract entirely, but if we dropped the Rip part, that we could keep airborne and get duty station of our choice. Being a scrawny runner at the time, with a pt score of 27x, I decided to choose the airborne unit that would be deploying the soonest, the 173rd. So I chose Italy. I got Germany. Go figure lol

planeflyer21 Posted June 20, 2015 Report Posted June 20, 2015 110% successful thread takeover. Even the OP has switched tracks! There's a dude on the machinist forum making tracks for a model crane he's building.
shepp Posted June 21, 2015 Report Posted June 21, 2015 There's a dude on the machinist forum making tracks for a model crane he's building. Like train tracks or tank tracks
planeflyer21 Posted June 21, 2015 Report Posted June 21, 2015 Like train tracks or tank tracks Tank-style treads. Nice rectangular pads with guides for the wheels, spaces for the drive gear. Looks like it is going to be a badass R/C model when he is done.
beachmaster Posted June 21, 2015 Author Report Posted June 21, 2015 Haha, I am not really worried about staying on track ;-)
MikedaddyH Posted June 21, 2015 Report Posted June 21, 2015 Beach, why don't you make 30 caliber bore and chamber snake . I'm sure I could sell them.
shepp Posted June 21, 2015 Report Posted June 21, 2015 Haha, I am not really worried about staying on track ;-) Like train tracks or tank tracks
beachmaster Posted June 21, 2015 Author Report Posted June 21, 2015 Mike daddy, I don't know if I could make an effective boresnake, and if I did, I don't think that it would compare to the hoppes or Otis brands. Cool idea though!
EasyEJL Posted June 22, 2015 Report Posted June 22, 2015 This year's been especially hot in Ga, too. Sorry for the train wreck, BTW :)my son in law is heading to Parris Island August 24th I believe. At least he'll face the Crucible in November, which won't be as bad
beachmaster Posted June 22, 2015 Author Report Posted June 22, 2015 Mike Daddy, if you are interested in wholesale rifle slings, bracelets, or knives, we can absolutely work something out!
MikedaddyH Posted June 22, 2015 Report Posted June 22, 2015 Lance and I want to get a line of products to sell. Lining up items very slowly.
beachmaster Posted June 23, 2015 Author Report Posted June 23, 2015 Well, send me a message any time if your interested :-)
