    That must be why Grandpa told me to go into the Navy or Air Force so I didn’t have to eat mud like he did in the Army…haha…

    He was a medic in the 101st Airborne/326th Medical Company during WWII. Eating mud was probably the least of his worries, now that I think about it!

    There's a difference? Isn't a crawl still a crawl?

    They are made from a really solid resin. You may have issues with some of the smaller details if you manhandle them with a lot of force, but I haven't had any issues with anything breaking from normal handling and I haven't dropped anything from any significant distance.

    Instead of the Ma Deuce load out I went with the "Viper Heavy" GAU-19 and painted the grey parts NATO green.
    I'm sure you can be confident in anything you choose from Gridiron Studios. Their products are solid.

    The military can be rather…..specific about definitions.

    Think of a low crawl as if the only cover you are hiding behind is a small log.

    high crawl is you are moving behind a low rock wall.

    my son dropped roadblock while the backpack was on. It broke into about 15 pieces. With a lot of patience and gorilla glue, it is back together.

    There have been many times when I've wanted to say F@#% THIS $#!+ but yeah 16yrs in on the downhill stroll, also since I've left Korea a few mons ago my kidneys are healing very well :D 

    It's ok to not understand, it's a lifestyle few choose to live and even fewer can understand


    So is Fortnite SE coming out in June or July, I'm kinda tired of waiting for this zany take on the character

    I forgot he was even a thing. I've been waiting to see Metal Mouth show up to use as a Firefly stand-in, but I forgot about the SE dropping sometime soon.
