    Was there a final correct answer on the LM/FMTVs being EMP proof ????

    The explosion at 80000ft (HEMP) will have no blast or radiation effects on the surface. A "weather balloon" being an ideal method to deploy it.

    Fatal flaw

    The biggest problems with the rigs is the grunts who don't have to carry it will load on to any vehicle they have everything/anything that will physically fit to include TWO kitchen sinks. MIGHT need it. Would work in a M113 (or even HMMWV) but on with a FAV. I wish I recalled the airload...

    WA state cancelling MV titles

    There is an election on Tuesday. Wa has been ruled by idiot progs for decades. Turn them out (with their admin drones) and you'll have a good start of fixing the state. Was once a great place to live. I wouldn't even visit today.

    My Recent Chenowth Acquisitions

    I was a young Inf LT with 9ID during the "High Technology Testbed Divison" days of the late 80s. A BUNCH of FAVs running around in the division when it was transitioning to Motorized MTOE. The Fast Attack Bns (2-1 and 2-2Inf as I recall) had a horde of the rigs. Mix of Mk19, M2 or TOW...

    Power Outages Are Getting More Expensive

    If you leave your freezer shut, 12hr without power isn't even relevant. Certainly, 1hr of run time in a 12hr period is more than enough. If you're really over cautious store some jugs of water (frozen) in your freezer to act as a heat sink. This isn't new stuff. Basically $50 to not hear...

    MEP-803A Hole Drilled in Fuel Tank from GovPlanet

    He could probably name his salary and hire on with the Russian Army to show them what to do.

    STE/ICE Delete

    As Giggle is a despicable bunch of anti-America leftists who is to be avoided at all costs, I guess is an endless loop. Or use duckduckgo.com which works pretty well.

    M1082 w/600 Gal Alum Liq Storage Tank

    I think I'd measure an M353 and as I recall a pod would not fit between the fenders. Do your homework. M1061 would work well just is rather large for one pod. I had one set up for my FD at one time with a pump and hose at one time. Worked until came up with a better solution.

    M1082 w/600 Gal Alum Liq Storage Tank

    WAYYYYYY back when dinosaurs walked the earth (late 80s) the Army decided that 600gal pods in M105 trailers lead to very bad outcomes. Command "guidance" to not do that no more. Went to hauling them on 2 axle M796 engineer bolster trailers which worked out very well. I think the M796 is long...
