So, at the Ga Rally you have several choices:
You can pitch tent and really rough it.
You can bring some kind of camper with you and quasi rough it.
You can rent a cabin or RV from Durhamtown.
If you are truly roughing it and camping, there...
We've only stayed in one cabin since we started going (Mallards Nest) and it has a small front porch with a picnic table and it has a fire pit but no grates.
As I said above, Mallards Nest does for sure and some others do but I am not 100% sure that all the cabins have this feature.
Not a...
Wow, that's awesome! Congratulations.
I assume you're going to give it the full treatment?
I may have some extra stuff laying around for a GPW........................................................... :p
So you mean the handle that you grab and pull on is stuck?
When you pull out on the handle, there are 2 pins that retract from their receivers-there are receivers at the top and bottom for the gear.
Sometimes they're "sticky" and the handle/pins don't want to retract.
I appreciate the kind words but you simply aren't being fair to the MVPA - they're a lot more than WWII Jeeps.
This issue of Supply Line came this week and look at the cover:
They've featured a lot more modern M-series stuff in the last few years and have definitely struck a more even...
Like the others said, that looks like orange gasket sealer to me. I think it's reasonable to assume at some point a surface was resealed using it and they got a little overzealous and some squeezed through to the inside.
I have seen that orange stuff on transmissions, transfers, axles, oil...
The RT will be where it has been since we moved to the new field in 2012. HQ will be next to it so you can consider it one big "HQ/RT" command module. Anything short of brain surgery will probably occur here. You can think of this as the "Nerve center" of SSGR.
First aid will be next to the...
My friend Lamar asked me to post this, since he is not super proficient with SS and computer stuff in general.
Everyone who's been in the MV hobby for a long time knows Lamar Rowland. He's put on a rally at his place in Alabama for years and has been on all the major MVPA convoys and trips...
I have edited post #2 with this link but be aware that there is an effort to put together some "rideshare" events to help groups of members make the Ga. Rally:

Although the members...
A member contacted me and said he was trying to get a group trip together from Texas to the Ga. Rally. A "van pool" if you will. It's a very long trip from Texas and many members can't afford to drive a Civic (and the food, hotels, etc.) that it would take to go alone, but if 3-5 people go...
I thought the group was more receptive to our Ga rally invite than last year. I met some people I had seen posting on G503 and they were very nice. Saw a couple really nice WWII Jeeps and a bicycle!
The Ga MVPA demographic is much older than SS and probably G503 so I spent a few minutes...
This is only my opinion, so you have to decide what it's worth but I am not terribly concerned about this (and by this, I am referring to potential legislation aimed at curbing military equiment to law enforcement agencies).
First off, the overwhelming majority of the gear these departments get...
Let me put it like this:
If you become a member and you don't like it (National MVPA), you get a free 45 second "window of opportunity" to complain, directly to me, at the Ga Rally in 2015.
Some of you may have to travel a bit but everybody knows it's best MV rally anywhere in the history of...
So, when I worked for a professional repair shop, one of the good habits I picked up from working around professional technicians was latex/nitrile gloves.
No matter how much you scrub your hands, you can't get them clean after a few days of heavy mechanical work.
My "real" job is a warehouse...
