    Careful now - those tabs are scary looking. And he's a SGM or something. Pretty sure he has the ear of the Old Man...

    The WMC was much better phrased than what we had. I just know we had a hell of a time finding a black rose in 2004. The DOW (I love that change) website shows the white and red. But, have a hard time believing you would use wiki as a source... you're a better man than that. EDIT: Leave it to...

    We may have done it wrong. I had to go look up our program from our dining-ins. This is what we had, not sure if it's correct or not. I may have just led a bunch of NCO's down the wrong path... MESS PRESIDENT: Fellow soldiers, I direct your attention to the small table in a place of honor...

    I was a 14M (Stinger), almost the opposite of you! And yeah, I still look up at 60 years old. Favorite times were in the back of a Huey (not that there was that many) - wish I had gone that route instead of ADA.

    Senior drill had a plaque thingy on his wall that said "There are two MOSs in the Army, Infantry and Support." Yeah, he was an 11B (VIetnam vet). As a support MOS (albeit a Combat Arms that rucked with the grunts) I can still see it 41 years later. And concur.

    Cool tapered alignment tool

    Our machine shop was bored one day and made these to help with aligning things for the fab shop. Ended up making enough that a certain PM was able to snatch a couple.

    Anybody up for a random meme dump?

    Damn! Took a couple days off from checking on this thread and it went 40 freaking pages! Nobody get mad if I repost something, ain't got time to read all that shit. Anyway...

    Bought Another LJR Because I Have Poor Impulse Control (Again) - 37's on Stock Axles

    We powder in house. Recently we had a major issue with a bunch of PL1/4 x 5' x 12' sheets of 5052 that had been hung on the outside of a 19 story office building. About 60 sheets total, laser cut in a "artistic" pattern. Had some adhesion issues, and we needed to strip all the panels and do it...
