Mine was M-209 and that was slmost 30 years ago! How time flies. .....
We probably shared much the same weaponry over the years.
My service was over 40 years ago.
I usually got to carry the M-60 machine gun when, as a quick response reactionary force, we had to gear up and be in position at the top of the hill to defend a weapons bunker 15 minutes after the alert.. There was a 5 minute force housed at the site. We were about a mile down hill. If the alert remained, there was also a larger contingent that had to be in position 30 minutes later.
You could be in bed sound asleep or at the theater and had to be fully armed with flak jacket, helmet and all surrounding the site in 15 minutes.
So if you went to the show, the mess hall, library or wherever, you had to sign out and tell them where you would be.
[@=/u/350041/Fire-Ant-Farm]@Fire Ant Farm[/@] Hey guys, there is one of these on clearance on Walmart.com what is 35' 5/8". For 17.97.
Thanks for that. However, even though it is the closest store to my house, I refuse to shop there. They could be $1 and I wouldn't buy them.
It's a personal thing, a combination of things. I wouldn't shop there because of business practices before I knew who Stan Kroenke was but now I'm convinced.
