The most relevant today, to Restoral of the Republic, the roadmap for the US Military from today back to at least the Escalator:

Some of the .pdf won’t down load. Try archive.org for a copy.

Thank you dynachrome,

I also recall some while ago when Kartographer had a good preparedness manual to share.

I loved the old PS magazines from my youngest days with Corporal Bonnie and Connie Rodd, MSG Half-Mast McCanick, and Private Joe Dope.

Bringing your weapons inside at 60 below zero to warm them up will cause them to sweat.

The number of uses of the M-67 fragmentation grenade is limited only by the imagination of the user.

My High School JROTC class used FM 22-5 as a text book. There may have been a time or two when my Drill Sergeant felt the need to remind me that HE was the textbook. Absolutely no more than twice.

Grok is aware of these archives. I’ve specifically asked it to search field manuals for assistance and reality checks in building my own antennas, specifically shortwave for amateur operations. Saves a lot of money. ARRL has the most detail and theory but some of the best, simple setups I’ve run across are in Marine radio operator’s manuals. And it’s all free!

I joined USAF in ‘56. If possible, I’d like a reprint of that year Airman’s Guide. What is an address where I might find that?

The Airman’s Guide appears to be a commercial publication, not a government manual I guess. I did find 4 editions of it on archive.org. Go there and search for “airman’s guide”. I’m not sure what came up is from 1956 though. I was in from 85 to 88 but have never heard of this guide until now. Interesting. Good luck!

Thank you for the ping, AW...I was just perusing the posts, and saw your ping on the FR server configuration, and...stumbled across this one which I went to and copied the link immediately...thank you.

I haven’t been posting since Election Day, as I have been trying to understand better what happened before posting and didn’t want to come here with the usual dummies and poser-Leftists posting non-stop with their idiocy...people who either know nothing about the mechanics of what transpired, just what they parrot from like-minded people...not to mention people who know full well what transpired, and are here to further degrade the website.

So...you are the first post I have responded to in a few days, and I thank you for the chance to do so...:)

Well, we had two right years. Brace for impact.

I've often been a "blind clairvoyant." I sense huge events coming but can't articulate it. I became badly depressed for the past month. When the election happened, I suddenly had energy again and could clean the clutter and stock the fridge. It was like a giant pimple had popped; and then I knew what had been making me sorrowful. I had the same thing happen in the week before 9/11 and landed in the hospital that time; so at least this is not so bad, thus far. God help us in days ahead.


...I didn’t want to come here with the usual dummies and poser-Leftists posting non-stop with their idiocy...

They're here, all right. I let my Dark Snark flag fly last evening. Democrats are mentally ill and spiritually AWOL; but there is no excuse for the idiocy on our side. Except, as you mentioned, the deliberate trolls.
