  1. Its sad that something like this even needs consideration. You buy something-you pay for it or vice versa.I have heard some horror stories (on this site as well) from friends, Merch Officers, you name it. We jump headfirst into this hobby of ours for sheer love of suiting up and making a difference-not to rip people off or leave guys holding the bill on Merchandise that people grab and don't pay for. JEEZ!!!!!

  2. There has to be something! I carry my Lewis in a medium ski bag-works great! I would think a athletic Duffle bag would work. I carry my armor in a rolling motocross bag and when I use my E-11 it fits in the bag with the armor. I wrap my gun in a towel for protection.

  3. That morning I will never forget. I was on vacation because I usually take vacation when my kids go back to school (today is my last day of a two week run.) The day started off strange as I was returning home from a 2nd night job I had at the time when a man in a van lost control and almost hit me head on-he missed me and hit a telephone pole on the other side of the road.He was OK and I continued home to get my Daughter off to Kindergarten and my son off to preschool.After my Daughter went to school I got back home and my wife called to tell me a plane crashed into the WTC. I watched in shock. I called work and told my Boss I was ready to come in and help in case we got survivors because I work in a Trauma Center Operating Room. They sadly never called. I still watch the coverage,the stories of the families, children left behind and still wonder Why? In all the senseless tragedy heroes do emerge..Our Courageous Troops, The Rescue Workers, The Leaders in NYC, President Bush , so many to name. I will never forget that day.

  4. Uh....Hello, Plax shot himself in the leg! Besides all the fines, missed meetings ,etc. He did catch the winning TD in Supe 42 but someone had to throw it to him. Plax is on the right team now cause he is playing on the Future

    (every year!!!)Super Bowl (?) Champs according to Coach Ryan (little Buddy) or at least another AFC champ game spot.If talking won trophies.......

  5. anyone have anyone they want to nominate?

    You Betcha,Dirty.One man whom I am proud to call Garrison and MEPD Deployed Brother-Mr. John Hopper AKA Quartermaster. As I am sure many of my other MEPD Brothers can say that he is always willing to help someone out with advice or one of his wonderful backpacks.I attended a Troop today (that unfortunately John could not attend due to work) that a year ago at the same troop was the first time I met John face to face. We had something in common and we had chatted on the Garrison boards and I could tell he was a good guy.He is also a Great Dad (his son AJ has armor that John bought and put together for him) and I know from seeing his posts and knowing the kind of guy he is he would always be one of the first guys in line to help out someone in need.It is also nice after a late day at work to come home and see a PM titled "Whats Up?" or "Checking in" from Quartermaster. I know he is going to say he doesn't deserve this because thats John. Thank you for your time, Dave
