Hehehe...say hello to my little friend.

I worked on the MLRS while at Vought Aeronautics in the late 1970s, 35 years ago, as a young man.

Fantastic weapons system as it was being designed...and still is today. Ultimately 16 nations bought it, and about 1,000 units were produced for the US Military.

I documented doing maintenance work on systems I designed with the US Bureau of Reclamation. Since my cancer and disabilities I can no longer do that specific work, but continue with the design and project management.

Thanks TerrianN for reposting Popeye's photo of a Special Force personnel. I have great respect for Sp Forces US & the British SAS & RM SBS. I know what the RM SBS are capable of doing as I was in Naval support in the 1960s. We need more of such Special Forces in today's hostilities & warfare - high-tech weaponries aren't sufficient.




Note, FN SCAR H, Opscore Fast helmet and a Helmet mounted Camera.

Sorry I posted the wrong photo as I was distracted the Demon version of Equation possessed me and was looking at sexy Cosplay photos :-O
