An extra box of grid squares can come in handy.

 

That is a good one WarHorse!
:wink:

 

You forgot an extension cord for the range fan, batteries for a PRC-E5/6/7, and five feet of flight line.

 

How about a PRC-E8?

Jeff, you aren't going anywhere without that can of track tightener. Available only from the motor pool sergeant himself.

Ya see, it's a controlled item, short supply blah blah blah........... :lol:

 

If you are working in the heat, a gallon of propwash goes a long way, too.

 

showers shoes

don't you dare take a shower without them!

 

I may have been willing to send someone to Battalion Staff with such a request, but not to our 1SG.. "El Diablo" would've brought down the axe on all of us for that one :shock:

:lol:
That's your problem, not mine. I did my time in 2ID (1/506 "P"IR) and Eight-Deuce (1/504 PIR).. I even refused to join the NC National Guard because the 120th is a mech unit, and went into the Reserve instead. But it was all in vain. In my recent deployment to Iraq, I was stuck in a unit which had something even worse than the Bradley - that stupid Stryker vehicle :?

 

Got to agree on that one Jeff. That is the kind of crap that would get Ole Top extremely pissed off. Top would then come over and smoke your ass because the newbie was bothering him. Oh lord, the memories..........
Battalion Staff would be perfect for that particular one. It would have given them something to do for the rest of the field problem trying to figure out where to find a can! :twisted: :twisted:

 

When the PSG of the platoon I was assigned to (I was a line medic in an infantry unit) was sent to S-3, we decided to send him a little greeting. I was helping the company armorer (medic platoon was in HQ company, but I was attached to C company in the field) sort some things out, and we got this idea to break open a glowstick, put the liquid in a glass jar, and put a hazmat sticker on it. Then we called up the two cherries who had just been assigned to the company two days earlier, and we told them that it was the tritium from a mortar sight, and it had to be taken to the former platoon sergeant I referred to earlier, in the S-3 office. So we told them to get into MOPP 4, and have them take it there, and warned them that if they dropped it, it would contaminate a very large area, and that the whole barracks would need to be evacuated, and everyone would have to live in GP Mediums in one of the training areas, where they'd be quarantined for exposure to the Tritium. I'm surprised they made it to the S-3 office, considering how badly they were shaking as they brought that jar there :lol:

 

At the least you will need a CB radio, motor carriers atlas, flashlight, Padlock and a great alarm clock. There is an article, that list the things, that new drivers need at http://www.newcompanydriver.com/gear-you-need.htm
