Better a REMF than a CDAT. How much of your junk works without us commo pukes?

Be polite though, leave the staff infection out of this.

What? You don't like it when we blow the Charlie Box because we hooked a CD player up to the AUX? (Yeah, old school stuff. I speak SINGARS too. LOL)

OT - Does freq hopping REALLY ever work? I took a couple day SINGARS course and never could make it work right.

Yeah, Freq hopping DOES work, just takes a good commo guy, treadheads who actually LISTEN to said commo guy, and about a week of practice to get it together.

I didn't just have a CD player hooked into the VIC in my track, it was set up to broadcast on the BN alternate net, and I had a massaged radio to do it with.

All's well and good until the freqs rotate and the BN alt net becomes the command net, and someone forgot to change settings on the 100+ watt toy riding in the back. Oopsie?

Nope, worse, I'm from the MAT (mobilization Assistance Team) and I'm here to help.

What? You mean banging the handset on the turret roof is not the fix?

As for listening to the commo guy.... It depends on what we are doing. If we had a hot Table 7 run and the crew is feeling good about Table 8, no way in hell is commo guy getting in the tank. We would take the radio out to be worked on. LOL Mojo MATTERS.

Never made it on a crew where I had to deal with the BN net. Which is cool. Gunning for the old man sucks. They never care about doing well, just get that 700.

That's where guys with silver thingys on their collars start screaming into handsets, right? Because that always helps. Panicked talk on the BN command net always ensures a favorful outcome. LOL

Touche'. Its fun to be taught how to do CQB by a bunch of supply guys. No lie. A Georgia NG BSB were our 'instructors' for my last Bosnia trip. It was, litterally, laughable. "Ummm, 'sir', I don't think sending the point man in to 'scout', by himself, is a good idea."

ETA - What's worse? MAT or dudes from Corps G-5? With PA people?
