I thought it would be fun to start a thread of photos showing your pride in your State.
Only rule is that it has to contain a State name or flag with a firearm, military, or tactical subject matter. If you don’t have any pride in your State… time to move :).
For example, a photo of you at a training course with a State flag on your chest rig…
Good idea on the flag thing though, just in case I ever go train out of state I’d like to slap a flag patch on my gear.
I’ve seen two t-shirts I thought were perfect. One my friend used to wear when we went up to punk-rock shows in Atlanta that said “fuck you we’re from Florida” (wish I could find one of those today). The other was a picture of a gun from the muzzle end that said “Florida, see it like a native”.
The ass crack on the video monitor is our rhino bar. It is supposed to be extended out in front of the vehicle. In theory, if your have a passive IR IED, the bar will set it off first, saving your ass… so I guess it is an ass crack…
thank you for the great pics. I have been following your posts with great curiosity.
Could you please tell me if that SUV is armored, and with what? Would you not rather be in e.g. an Abrams?
Yes, a B6 rated Toyota Land Cruiser. We all have armored vehicles these days. It can take a blast, but an EFP will go right thru most armor these days.
I like the LC, because it allows us to go off road on dirt tracks that the military doesn’t use. They normally stay on designated MSRs and ASRs, and that is where the bad guys put out the IEDs.
When we talk with the locals, they often ask where I am from. I always answer “Texas” and they always smile and talk about cowboys and John Wayne. I doubt they even know where New Jersey is
-Thank you for the reply, sir. It is appreciated. Would it be alright to PM you?- I have some more questions regarding armored vehicles, tactics, arms, misc. but I do not want to do it on this thread.
Thank you.
