All,
Just did some more cleaning. I have 3 each used but good shape M35A2 cargo bed covers, the newer kind with the integral endcurtains and bungee cord tiedowns.
They are used, need a "hose job" cleaning to get rid of the dust and pollen, but are perfectly serviceable. No rips, tears, cuts...

Is anyone nearby Ft Polk that could pick up 6 items (6 boxes about 60# each) and slap a UPS sticker (provided by me) so they could get shipped to me? Time frame is the next 2 weeks,

I was wondering if such thing was ISSUED according to the Army. I have seen them for sale at shows, but none with NSN's or Part #'s or offical markings. I was wondering if the Army had them years ago. I think it is a good idea to have one on when driving the truck to keep rain, snow...

On my M35A2C, it builds up air pressure and mantains it well when running.. I dont know if it is supposed to "blow off" excess air at 120+ or not? I never hear a "PSSST" of air beng blown off after it has been running for any length of time.. Is that normal, or is some blow off valve...
All,
When the brakes are applied on a M105A2, should they "lock up", or come to a rolling stop? I hooked up the M105A2 to the M35A2C. jacked up one side of the trailer axle, and hand spun the wheel. I had a buddy hit the brakes ont he deuce.... The tire came to a rolling stop. I was kinda...

Robyn,
Can we get a walkthru of the process that happens when an item is turned into DRMO and goes to GL, and then into the customers hands? What happens behind the scenes with SF-97's, EUCs, etc? It would help dispell alot of rumors and myths about this process.
Thanks!
All,
Please check out our new GL section. It is a place where you can correspond with our GL rep, Robyn (USMilitarySurplus)
Please read the stickys on the section to make sure we use it correctly.
http://www.steelsoldiers.com/index.php?name=PNphpBB2&file=index&c=28
This is the place if you have questions about EUC related issues. Please stick to facts and not your opinion about the process. It is a DRMS mandated thing, not something GL decided to do on their own.
Have a "atta boy" comment for a specific GL employee? Post it here. Also, if you had a "not so great" experince, please let that be known also, but stick to the facts.
Also, please remember that GL will read this, and if a great employee is great because they perhaps let you check out things...
Have a valid suggestion for GL about how to improve something? Post it here for consideration by the GL rep. The more help/insight you can offer in how to fix a problem and why something is a problem is wanted.
