Hell Yes! If I remember right the tether line that connects your rucksack to your harness is 20 feet long. I’d give the Riggers half of the pay just to extend the length to about….. 2,000 feet

I was a MADM asst. OIC if it would ever be deployed in our AO in the day. These were for large autobahn bridges or collapsing choke points along the enemy's advance. Unfortunately, the idea of the SF SADM later ballooned to the infamous suitcase nuke threat post-911 and led to a lot of hand wringing type congressional testimony. The SADM was deployed in two pieces and weighed around 120lbs total, so one is not going to nonchalantly carry around the device unless you're Ahnold S. So, sometimes fantasy overcomes reality especially if your agency needs funding.Don't forget the SADMs and the Greenlight Teams for the world class sprinter types.

My first duty assignment in Germany (6th MP Co) was at special weapons storage site. I participated in, along with a couple of companies of Military Police with PRP certification, in the removal of all the HJ Warheads via Rammstein AFB to make room for the Pershing Missles.Hello all, here is today's article posted on TheArmoryLife.com.

In Jr. high school, we had an after school model rocket club. I remember that some of the guys would buy this model rocket kit. It seems to have had a bulbous top. Talk about going down memory lane on this one.Hello all, here is today's article posted on TheArmoryLife.com.

Saw one fired off at Sill in 1968. They had an open house and students-at Sill, and some civilians, were given a show of the artillery, from 105s to 8-inch to this rocket were fired off. Seems to me that disassembling them, they should have been sent to the Nam and fired off at NVA strongpoints.
