    NJ USAR Task Force - Liberty Park

    The best kind of drills are the ones that have an unforeseen problem pop up, this is where the "Adapt and overcome" mentally works, as long as the mission is completed then its a success.

    Boot Blousers

    Nice find! - regarding the springs, I tried them and they were way too tight for me, even when on the boot I found them too constricting, what I do is use 2 sets of boot bands tied together- two bands per leg, and its the right fit for me, a lot of the Marines in my unit do it this way and it...

    Boot Blousers

    its all about pride- rolling up your sleeves takes practice- there are 2 ways to do it- The Army/Airforce way- and the the Navy/Marine Corps way- the Army way is more practicle since you can easily pull your sleeves down in case of a tactical situation but takes more work to do-...

    Docs Report!!

    LOL, yea in the military your standing orders can include chest tubes, surgical crics, giving blood, sutures, etc... all without a doctor present. This is pretty cool I think, cause when you get back to the "world" most or all of those can be taken away, even if you had done them dozens or even...
