There is no "2nd reserves" unit, and there are no corps size signal units. There are probably numbered companies and a headquarters and headquarters company (HHC) under the 454th Chemical Battalion. Reserve Regional Readiness Commands (RRC) have all sorts of units under them. RRCs replaced...

Heh, not surprising. I've probably met more "former special forces/delta/black ops/seal/ranger" veterans than any other military occupational specialty. Apparently our military had FAR more SOCOM types serving in the past. Also funny how they can never tell you specifics about their service...

I favor the response, "That's a shame your truck didn't work out for you when you owned one" ... "Oh, I see so you've never owned a military vehicle?" Or "If I wanted your opinion, I would have asked for it." Everybody seems to have anecdotes they believe constitute evidence about every piece...

My deuce recently appeared as a prop for a local haunted house. My buddy sat behind the wheel for the duration, I told him to eat a sandwich or something and stop scaring the kids.

I'd like to see a Tatra at the next rally. Where is the closest, aren't they all on the west coast?

They probably thought the Land Rover 101 FC was a Pinz. Easy mistake if you don't know, and there aren't too many of either around. The 101 FC I saw at the rally was the first I've seen in person in the US.

You need a C turbo. The trade your D turbo for a C and you'll get the whistle back.

I didn't take many photos this year.

The DAGR can receive the L2 signal and the selective availability secure anti-spoof module (SAASM) make it more accurate and more jam resistant when the DAGR is encrypted. Civilian GPSs do not have that capability. DAGRs are compatible with HAVEQUICK timing, but it does not use HAVEQUICK...

DAGRs aren't CCI. They don't have HAVEQUICK crypto cards either. They are ITAR controlled items, but aren't quite as controlled as most folks believe. With that said I would not buy one on eBay.

Where are you in SE Michigan? Got photos of your Willys?

I was the custodian of several owned by Uncle Sam. Great generators, exceptionally quite compared to the MEP-016B or D. I would call them underrated but not to the extent that MEP-803/PU-798 or larger TQGs are underrated. Don't expect miracles from a 3kw generator and you won't be disappointed...

Drone flyin' and trail ridin'

Super nice M38. It's an inspiration. Mine runs great, but looks like ****.

I imagine Cjt = Cjtroutt in post #30 above.

"Back from the dead, with the shaved head...." Needs spinners. I like functional mods, but I think the truck looks great as Uncle Sam envisioned. However, it's your truck, do what you will to it.

Awesome thread. I miss living in Fairbanks something fierce. Especially since I moved back to GA. Thanks for posting, keep the AK photos and stories coming!

Some of the random stuff I need to part with. I'll have a box of misc parts including: NOS deuce intake cap Nice tail light guts A couple used incandescent tail lights A couple front marker lights Various deuce gauges Misc hardware Complete functional field safe with combination $250 New...

Fourth picture, dog bone shaped thingy lower left is a tent line tensioner. :)

I'd have to question your judgement and your idea of necessity. Unless the vehicle was stationary, without a driver, shut off, and chocked with parking brake engaged. :beer:
