Our public schools should learn how to coduct education from the military, Im amazed that after all these years i can still remember the acronyms when i see them.
SALUTE 🇺🇲, to all who have gone before us. As they led the way in combat... Let them lead us to our Rendezvous with Destiny. Until we meet again at The Last Formation. ❤🙏❤🇺🇲❤🙏
During WW2 my dad was U.S. Army Engineer Corps, Signal Corps, Radio Intelligence. I can only imagine how he would react to the equipment you are using. I'm sure he would love it ! Most of his job, at the time, was to listen in on enemy radio transmissions, mainly morse code,write it all down, then try to decipher it. He and his unit were able to decipher/decode most of what they picked up. And they dispatched the info to where it needed to go to. Interestingly enough, a great deal of their work is still classified to this day, having to do with national security I assume.
A friend of mind that I was stationed with in Panama send me a copy of out maps we had in Panama. These maps are the one’s we trained with in the Jungle in Panama! Happy memorial day to you Top. Thank you for bringing back some good memories.

Imagine being the only guy at forward observation. The intelligence gather the information related. Getting back requires the utmost of one's evasion skills and definitely would justify a full flask!. Good video for sure.
Thanks, Top. Good training. Comments are educational also. I never did any REAL army stuff, just stateside play-acting army for Uncle Ronnie. So I truly admire those who paid the biggest cost for American freedom. My father paid my way when he was a combat engineer in Philippines. He came home, but many didn't.
Bill. Wow are we still using SALUTE? Impressive video I love the SITREP!! Have you ever thought about the SALUTE format? Why that order? It's more than just to make it fit in the acronym. It makes you transmit the most perishable information first. That so if you get cut off or have to quit transmitting due to OPSEC, the most perishable info is there already. At a minimum HQ now knows there's something happening where they thought nothing was happening. Now they'll look. Your camo is looking great! When you opened and closed the antenna on your radio, it sounded more like an animal moving through the brush than a man made sound. Exactly as it should. Sound carries.
I noticed the shoulder straps on your alice pack are positioned where the padding is not on the top of your shoulders. Is this because your lbe is causing an interference? I really like the short film style of video . Thank you for the awesome work .
Stoke, excellent video as always. Got a question, do you think todays soldiers should get more map reading training as we've had in the 80's? I know this is the tech age but if a recon or soldier can't read a basic military map then they'll be in a world of hurt.
#Memorial_Day #Remember_The_Falllen Memorial day is a day to remember and show respect! There are obviously many more heros that have died, and I want to honor them as well. But these were the Rangers that I personally knew who gave the ultimate sacrifice. 2/75 Rangers killed in a C130 Plane Crash, dated 21 September 1981, at Indian Springs Air Force Base, Nevada: Battalion Commander Lt. Col. William E. Powell Cpt. Gregory E. Gardner Sgt. 1st Class Jimmie D. Bynum (Jim rescued Rangers trapped, but on his 3rd trip inside the C130 it exploded) Spc. John P. Critselous Pvt. Kevin E. Langley Pfc. Lonnie J. Furr And my 2/75 Ranger buddy: Randy Shughart 13 August 1958 - 03 October 1993 KIA in Mogadishu, Somalia during Operation Gothic Serpent ("Blackhawk Down"). Along with Gary Gordon and 16 other Rangers. Randy joined 2nd Ranger Battalion one year after me, but we served in the same platoon he was my friend. RIP buddy!!

@@STOKERMATIC I was being sarcastic, BUT, I have an honest question about that... How can one move, if not silently over the leaves, but in a way that mimics a natural inhabitant, such as a squirrel or deer, so as to not attract too much attention??? Also, how can you better conceal your profile (as your bed mat sticks out like a sore thumb while you are moving)?
@@STOKERMATIC BTW, I appreciate you taking the time to interact with me, bc you obviously have more training and skills than I do, and I am here to learn, which is why I subscribed....
I wore the bed mat, not for purpose of patrol, but for throw back to typical gear issued and carried back in the day. For movement, slow is smooth. You can’t be in a rush. For example, my pace count is 70. But on patrol, it’s closer to 100. And in limited visibility it’s closer to 140.
Take a moment to remember those who paid the ultimate sacrifice by reading any of their stories. Be thankful - and be inspired.

These videos are great mental reps for when you're not out training with your unit.

Well done. Thank you for your great efforts behind this.
Great information. Thank you!

Old 11Bravo here...haha marine I looked like that exactly as a Bn. infantry scout in the 25 th. I.D. Vince g 11B infantry...
Good video , thanks for sharing , God bless brother !

Informative
How does your profile/outline not stand out, with your bed mat crossing your body, and up high like that?
Stoke, excellent video as always. Got a question, do you think todays soldiers should get more map reading training as we've had in the 80's? I know this is the tech age but if a recon or soldier can't read a basic military map then they'll be in a world of hurt.
Always need more. Part of the reason I started making videos.

@@STOKERMATIC that makes sense to me now...
And all it takes is one guerrilla to wipe out a team and disappear. Ask me how may swat/marshals teams I’ve wiped out.

You crawl real quietly and stealthily there close to the 5 minute mark 🙄🙄...
I could have not messed with the EQ, but then you would have said “I can’t hear anything”.
