This will be the first in a series of reviews on gear that I currently use, or have used. I have spent my own money on this gear, so these reviews will remain unbiased. I do not have my SMR currently, but some pictures showing the ELOS and GRT will be at the bottom. The…
When Virgil first pitched the idea of a forum I thought it was great. A little quote went through my mind as I was thinking about where we would find ourselves in the following years. It goes something like, “A smart man learns from his mistakes, a wise man learns from the mistakes of others,…

Eric Fanning confident socially progressive changes (transgender/females in combat) will not be rolled back. Claims Army is catching up to rapid social change in US
