You might be listening on an AM station or an FM station or rebroadcaster in your area. My hat's off to you guys. I call you guys the short rangers rather than the rebroadcasters or the micro broadcasters. I call you the short rangers. It gives you more of a military, a militant bent or bite. But you might be listening on a CB radio station strategically around the nation and growing around Michigan. You might be listening on, oh how about that Indiana Freedom Talk radio? Dotcom. Dotcom. Yes. And for all of our friends out there, it is a beautiful rainy, gray day here September in Michigan, by the way, of course, country. Don, it has been a busy What's the date today? What's jumping off the wall up there, sir? Well, it is the 9th day of September, year of our Lord 2014. And that, you know, it's, well, it's getting close, but we can do this. You know, if it's the strike down the middle of the week, well, that kind of makes me want to take 1911 in one hand and magazine in the other. introduce the magazine to the magazine well and I've already got one in the chamber you guys it was kinda I could go through all the procedures and everything but you know what there was one in the chamber already so I'm gonna tell you it is weapons Wednesday the perimeter is secure and you know there's plenty more where that came from. We can now offer equal opportunity course of force. Smile, you know this is it. Pocket is down. Remember accuracy over volume fire if you hit it and knock it down you keep shooting at it. Again, do the right thing, get the job done right, and move on to the next target, because there are plenty more. We're the first one. That comes from focusing at the job at hand. For everybody out there, Weapons Wednesday, we were talking about Bud-K knives, just in case I didn't reinforce that enough. www.bud-k-knives. And again, the handheld implements of destruction for battle axes. A lot of other weapons can be put off to the side or around the property. Fighting knives or knives of any kind, yeah, you can just go to the store and watch for all those good Japanese steel blades. Any number of different types of unique Japanese blades. I've been running into them left and popping out there from about 1962, 1958, right around there. They were Japanese modern. I run into a lot of pewter that way and China's porter's kind of washed the market, so sometimes people don't have a thought to knives as need be. I wanted to touch on that again because as we know, we can't put a night vision device on a knife. I guess we could. The vision applies, Arlo. Bring that up. Well, side guys, it's getting dark in a pitch in a little different angle again, and spinning in a little different spot. Point in the galactic plane, and even though that hasn't changed. The scheme of things, the Earth would be reminded of this. It's going to be temperatures. You can get a little cool at night, depending on where you are and how bare applications and considerations with the night vision. You're going to want lots of batteries. Well, you're going to want lots of batteries. I'll repeat it just for ease, batteries and almost any device and it does the same thing in night vision. The other thing is you guys, you know, we talk about breath control. When you are shooting and when you just bring that target to bear the cross hairs or the notch and the blade and everything is all lined up and you're just concentrating on that about halfway down your, you know, the column of your breath, you pause there for a moment, don't you? And then hopefully that's about the time because you're squeezing the trigger. That's about the time and everything's steady and you're just paying attention and you're pulling that bang, the gun goes off, right? Then you breathe again, right? Then you start to take aim and then you just concentrate on it. And then you breathe again because if you're breathing, you're rocking around that site. Just lean into the gun and breathe and bring the site to bear at 100 yard or 1,000 yard target and breathe and watch that crosshair or that notch and blade dance around on the target. So we talk about breath control when we talk about shooting. But in the winter time, you guys, breath control can be the difference between I'm going to make certain all of the air moving out of me is moving out of my nose, down away from the scope in front of me, be it daylight or a piece of night vision. Or I've got a bella clava on, something like that. Oh, I'm trying to wrap of some sort a scarf or a kerchief to catch almost all of that moisture as it leaves my body in the form of my breath. Because a lot of moisture leaves your body in the summer or the winter. Now. If you're leaning over that gun sight, both day or night time in the winter time, you'll find that if the breeze goes, it could be a two mile an hour, just enough to you just feel that coolness of the breeze on your face. Not enough to affect the ballistics. If you breathe out just the wrong time and all of that moisture goes up onto your ocular lens there, you know, the lens that you're looking at, be it a daylight or a nighttime piece, you guys. Well, it's going to decrease your vision, isn't it? It's going to take away what you're looking at and then it might be the difference between with a daylight piece shooting buttons or shooting silhouettes or with a nighttime piece shooting silhouettes or just shooting blurs that are moving. I'm going to shoot at that. Now you get into a real iffy world there. Is that a target? If you're looking at your target and it hasn't moved since the last breath, well you can still pretty much confirm that that's a target, but man you can barely see it now. Again, directing your breath away from the device, that's a habit that can be learned. Whether it's you're pulling your lower lip in just a little bit and you're extending your upper lip out so your breath goes almost exactly straight down your chin. Now that's a discipline to do this over and over and over again. You're paying attention to something your body is doing that's not really shooting while you're trying to do that but you're paying attention to the world around you, aren't you? So again, when you start to stack on paying attention to this and paying attention to that, the other thing, it's a discipline, isn't it? An easier way there is again, a face cover, a shield. Even, you guys, I'd go so far as to say, if you're going to be in a particular area just late in there waiting and you're just doing the overwatch, one of the things with real good thermal, now, you guys, much like green screen, you can take a piece of first generation in real low light, and we've talked about this before, but we haven't brought it to light, no pun intended, as of late. But if you set that piece on a tripod or sandbag it into the area just for three or four minutes. Now you wouldn't want to do this for an hour and a half because you start too much like a computer screen, start to burn that image into your device. You want to pan the device around a little, change the image in front of it. But if you set that device down rock steady, pointed at a suspicious area, for three or four or five minutes. It's going to gain every bit of light over and over out of that, and it will seem to stack up a little bit better detail than when you just panned over to that and looked at it for a moment. Now it's not going to be, you know, no 25% improvement or anything like that, but it'll stack up. It just seems that light collecting and holding, and it's like burning an image on your computer screen. But if you hold that device steady, you'll just be able to make out a little more detail over time. But the same thing, you guys. You can work the same thing with a piece of thermal. But now you go back over to, is that a target? Am I sweeping across the field too fast? I want to stop here. I want to look at this area, right? Another thing to look at when you're panning an area like that. Some people just want to just, again, make a single arc and just, you know, it's like a tank turret moving real slow and they just move across the area and they're done. If nobody's shooting at you and you want to know what is to be gained from looking at this area, you pick the three o'clock or the farthest portion to the left of that field of view. and you bring the device up whether it's daylight or night vision whether it's a pair of binoculars or a pair of binoculars or a pair of binoculars at night. You bring the device up and you look to the farthest to the left of it doesn't have to be to the left it could be whatever you might think there might be a little more threat to the right. Don't build habits that man I gotta do it like this way just because Don said so. But here comes the Don said so. You're looking through that device. It has a limited field of view. It has 17 or 26 or a lot of one-power devices, particularly in night vision, are going to have like even as much as 35 or 45 degrees field of view. But a gun sight in the daylight might have 12. A rifle scope in the daylight might have 14 degrees. That's generous field of view. You hold that scope steady and you survey that area. until you're satisfied that I'm pretty certain I know what's in that little group that you're looking at. Because you've started in this instance at the left of your field of view, you look to the right of the field of view that you have inside your magnified image there, your scope or binoculars, and you pan the device, whatever, until that point that was the right side of your field of view is all the way over in your left side of field of view. Now you're looking at another given area, but you haven't swept past anything, have you? Because you've studied the area that was that 12 or 14 or 17 degrees that you're looking at. Again, it might be a tree if you're moving from left to right. It might be a bush. It might be a rock. It might be a burned out Chinese tank and then you move your device, your viewing device toward the right, you start to pan it to the right if you've started from the left until that Chinese tank, that rock, that tree is all the way in the left of your field of vision and then you scan that area. and then you work, you slice that pie, so to speak, across your field of vision instead of picking up the night vision, be it green screen or thermal, or picking up the daylight sight, be it a pair of binoculars or a rifle scope and just swinging it across the field. Yeah, I'm looking here. I'm looking here. I'm looking there. Your brain can ponder and take in so much information, but when it comes to I want to know what's on the other side of that field, more on this in just a little while. You want to study that, don't you? If you're going to put one man or a group of men across that open area. Just a thought there. Now, let's continue because I know we're going into another realm here. I wanted to do this tonight anyway, Mark, and I kind of led this this way. As of late, we've talked about formations, be it a naval column or people moving on the ground or even airplanes in the air, you guys. Nose to tail, like a wagon train. Sometimes you'll see flights, and it's old-fashioned flights of airplanes. Helicopters fly like this a lot in each military, nose to tail. That's called column. That's called line of stern, but it's still column when you're on the ocean, when you've got everybody behind you and you're the admiral in the front. That's called line of stern, but it's also called column. When you're moving people in column, There are a number of reasons why you might want to do that. Again, we can describe the column. We could go through this. The first guys up front, they're the people generally they want to be. There's sometimes you've got to tell people you're on point today. But you want people that aren't going to be sleepy. You want people that have good eyes and ears and can generally recognize what they're looking at in an instant. You want sharp fellows who have lived by their wits for a good long time now. You know what I mean? But we don't want to describe the individuals or the stack of the column in particular. Let's just talk about moving formations across land, and in particular right now, across that field. Now you can see this open area also as a flat plane, like a grass plane, or like a river that you're about to ford, you know, wade across. There are a number of different actions or considerations when you come to a It's not a neck point. It's an open area like this because column can work in a number of different environments, but other formations also. Let's work that column and let's just see what results of this because you know what if you come to an open area like this and you've done the aforementioned study of the land in front of you and you think well we're going to move across this open area now. If you were moving and have to move at you know we got to get their speed like double time, column is a good way to move people fast. One of the good things about column is people are stepping in the same footsteps. You know that, Mark. It's over time you build that little path. Now that's one of the bad things about column because it's hard to count the people, but it's easy to see that a whole bunch of people have been through here. You're impressing that piece of real estate. Yes. More on different formations in a little while, but there are good things and bad things about column. If you're working through mined areas, and the guy in front hasn't stepped on a mine yet, it's a pretty good bet that you're not going to step on a mine either, right? So you would move through areas like that, perhaps have been minimally swept, you know, perhaps you've watched someone else, someone from the other side, walk through that area and you know that there's mines there because Well, the last time we were here, someone went bang. Column is a good thing. If you have to move people across the river, the Wade Point, the Ford Point, across a great field, column, you guys, if someone is on the other side that you haven't seen in your studies and there's enough time, well, they'll move to a place where they're firing almost directly down the column. So column can have a bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad display to your opponent also bad for you, good for them, right? A column can be compared to in an nautical term crossing the T of the old battleships when you can give him a broadside and all you can do is bring some small guns to bear that are on the bow of the boat, but he's raking down every shot, raking down the length of your boat. And we've talked about how tactics can be interchanged. And that's one other example of seeing the attack or seeing the deployment. Now, let's go to a different formation because a lot of times you'll move line of breast, which is a column sideways and everybody's walking sideways. That's not true. But it's a column displayed across the land and moving sideways. line of breasts, shoulder to shoulder, only we're far enough apart that let's apply this old rule that one burst isn't going to get two men or one grenade isn't going to get two men. Now we fall back and see what one burst would do to the column or a strategically placed gun or two raking each side of the column and scissoring back and forth. The men would be decimated in an instant. Now, let's move to a line a breast across that field. Line a breast, you know, shoulder to shoulder and we're all going to step out of the brush at the same time. We're 10, 15, 20 feet apart, not a grenade or a single burst is going to get us. There are good and bad things about this. The one good thing about it is, well, you've got a lot of fire power, but now all of that fire power is out in the open. You're closing on your enemy if there's opposition on the other bank the other side of the field You're closing on your enemy, but again you're out in the open. There's no place to hide But you're closing on your enemy. You're not column you're line of breast that is That means that the machine gunner the automatic weapon is going to have to sweep across the field We've talked about let's talk about this here again compare up tactics again. We've talked about planes flying through, I'll use that word again, the column of gunfire from another airplane. In particular, planes that have mixed armaments like a couple of machine guns and a couple of cannon. We've talked about that. When an automatic weapon is purely swept across the field, like you see the German machine gunner in the World War I movies, he's just swinging the gun back and forth, or When you think about swinging your optics back and forth across the field There's a good chance that there might be a bullet goes or ten bullets goes between you and the man that was your aunt on your right shoulder 15 or 20 feet away and No, bullet strikes you but a bullet passes a foot to your left and another seven bullets are sprayed and maybe they get George over there Frank over there who's to your left? But unless and this goes back to what mark is was talking on earlier and you hear on almost every weapons Wednesday even with an automatic weapon I Would swing the gun to an individual target tap that trigger swing the gun to an individual target tap that trigger Maybe as short as humanly possible, but maybe you spit out two or three rounds swing the gun to the next So again that when your opponent is taking time to aim like that Well gee you're walking across the field aren't you? You've got your gun and it's not slung on your shoulder, is it? But that doesn't mean that when he's swinging the barrel back and forth across the field, you're not sending projectiles in his direction. We can all agree on that would be a good thing, right? Now, there's another way to move across that field. There's another way to move across that river, to ford that stream. you send out two or three men. It's more of a risk because it's a smaller group that might get to the other side first. There are risks in everything we do. But you send out two or three men. They secure the other side, at least a small, what might be a toenail. If it's the other side, you could call it a beachhead. If it's the other side of the ford, the other side of the river. If you're fording or a stream or river, you could call it a beachhead. You grab that beachhead. You make that secure. You've sent across three men without showing any more of your body of men, have you? If there is op force on the other side, they've seen three men cross. They might be real patient and wait for the main body, but they might think that that's a patrol and maybe the main body is a mile away crossing someplace else, but there's a whole lot of mites here in ifs, ands, or buts. But when you've got men on the other side and then you start to move through, think about a checkerboard now. Now think about that contained area. One side is the bank, the other side is the bank, and each left and right is the area that you have determined is safe to put your men in. You know, moving water can sweep a grown man off his feet. If it's just a couple of miles an hour and at his knees, Just a couple of miles an hour moving water. Barely seems to be moving to the human eye unless there's a rock or something underneath it to show the ripples. But if you put that man in there and it's as deep as his knees and that water is moving two, three miles an hour for sure, unless he really knows what he's doing, he's going to be swept off his feet. So you find places, now we're getting a little more specific here, I'm talking about dinky little things instead of talking about moving the formation, but you want to find a place to ford a river where everybody gets to the other side, mostly high and dry, right? We're going to continue this on the other side. We're going to go to break you guys. We'll be back in just a few minutes here. Tom is going to continue and pick up a right where we left off after our break here at the bottom of the Earth's Weapons Wednesday.

That's the word from the trenches every Monday through Friday with Henry Shirey and JD. Check it out. the world. Thank you Mark. Let's continue. Let's carry this thought line a little farther. Maybe a little farther than that even. Many of the things in this are broad brush contingent upon and we'll ask you a number of times to compare an inch to a mile. That three-minute cross is an arbitrary number. That three-minute cross is based on a sniper team. If you've got sniper teams in the area, the Op Force knows that three men across might be accepted. Three men across might not be seen as a big threat. Three men across is the minimum though. Now you could put those three men belly down across the field to get there. Because, well, those three men might be scout for the big group. Those three men might be part of the 30 men that are scouts for a huge group. Talked about massing up, haven't we? It's best to, how does that go Larry? Spread out at any rate, you know, Curly would agree to. But that three men across is a minimum. Because if I only put three men across that river, across that great gap of short grass, maybe just tall enough to crawl across to not be detected, I'd want them to sweep to the left first and then come back, step in a little farther and sweep back to the right and cover that grid that we're going to cross on the river at a minimum. across that at a minimum cover that. If I put 10 men across, I'd want them to move into the brush or into the far bank until they can't be seen by me and then start to sweep left and right because they're going to push any observers, aren't they? They're going to push or bring into action that guy that's standing there waiting for the main body to cross the river. You're buying yourself some insurance here. If it's a great body of people by the time the scouts have got to the other side and then a platoon has moved in, you've secured that beachhead, that river crossing or that area, then you just move men through, right? So sometimes we'll ask you to compare an inch to a mile. Sometimes we'll paint a broad brush statement. But you guys, another way to move across that field fast would be just to put everybody. You keep overlooking shooters in the background. They are good shooters that are capable of hitting that sparkle of light over there when it comes up in the far tree line, be it the other side of the field or the other side of the water. They overwatch as most of the main body steps out into the creek or the field and move across the field as one unit abreast. When the op-4 starts up, everybody abreast is going to start shooting at them, but they are still moving. The people who are stationary that can study that breath can take aim at that force and squeeze the trigger that are going to help everybody get across that open gap. When everybody else is across the open gap, stayed behind to cover their advance, it's a leapfrog thing. We've talked about that before. Then they have a lot better chance of moving across because while everybody's watching, they're crossing, right? Now, let's take this again from an inch to a mile. You're moving through an area and you come to a narrow road and you move your body up to, your group of men up to parallel the road. Now you're looking up and down the road and you might send scouts to your left and right to see, but you know people can hide and you haven't sent scouts to the other side of the road yet, have you? unless you're going to move across the road like the checkerboard mentioned earlier with just checkers thrown on it, random, unless you're going to send a man over and then three seconds later another man crosses, five seconds later three men cross, unless you're going to try to thread that needle across that window of time. Here's the key to this you guys, if you have to get somewhere If someone is watching that road, an observer or someone who thinks that, well, there's enough of a body there, I don't want to engage, I simply want to live to report this, hence an observer, scout. It matters not if the whole body moves steps across into the road, five steps across the road, they've disappeared. The length of time taken to move three or four people across the road at one time. If you're moving and you have to move fast, this is about the most secure way to move across the road because that five or seven running strides across the road, if you move up to the road, even if there's a a hasty or a prepared ambush on the other side, they're waiting to ambush people walking down or driving down the road. If you have moved through the brush in a proper way through the wood or across that road quietly and moved your men up to the rest of the road quietly, and they're at the edge of foliage to where they can see they don't move up to the edge of the road. This is the thing about Mark You see it in the movies. You see it in... You see it almost everywhere. The guy sneaks up to the window and the cowboy sticks his gun out of the window or he sneaks up to the brush and he sticks his gun all the way through the brush. You guys, if you can stand back in that tree line and view the far side of the road or the far side of that quarter mile, the field or the... stream river mentioned earlier without being seen you have a good time to study what you're looking at, right? Why show yourself in any reason? So now You've moved up to this road and you want to cross. You move your men parallel to the road in the aforementioned position. They're far enough back in the brush that they cannot be seen. But you know, this is why it said that deer, that fox, that wolf, that coyote, that squirrel sees you before you see it because it's looking around. And when you're moving toward it, we've talked about motion and shape and color. But when you're moving toward it, it can see you before you see it. We've referenced this before, but if I'm far enough back in the foliage that I don't give my op force, I don't give my opponent an outline, or if I'm far enough back that he can't discern motion and I'm far enough back into the shade he can't see color, I've beat those three indicators, haven't I? I study that. I look up and down the line, every man knows that up and down the line when he gets the odor, we move to the other side of the road. Everyone is across the road in the time it takes to take four or six or ten strides. The event window is so small that if there is an observer looking up and down that stretch of road, why he might be looking down the road while your men are crossing up. Now that's another big if and a maybe and or but, but again, you have to ponder on these things. If you don't, if you do things haphazard, moving people, you're going to lose people just in their motion. Let alone, if you want to get someplace and get something done when you get there, well, you're going to hinder your own performance in getting there, aren't you? Let alone, well, all of a sudden, oh look, they're here. That's a major thing. If that observer sits there and counts over 15 minutes, you know, 100 minutes across the road, well, that's not good, is it? But again, you've got to ponder these things when you're moving people. If you're thinking that, well, we're just going to go over there, you've got a good chance of getting there, but you might not all get there at the same time. That's one good thing about a military unit, for everybody to get there at the same time, isn't it? I mean, unless you planned on, we're all going to, some of us are going to go over here to the soda shop, and then we're all going to be over there on time, right? You ever heard that phrase, Mark? Let's synchronize our watches. They don't do that for just filling time on the air or 78 more frames in the film as it takes the form to move the camera over and they roll the wrist up a little bit and look at the time and roll it back down. 814 frames right there. Wow. You know what I mean? to be at a particular place at a certain time is key. To use time to your advantage. As example, everybody crossing the road in seven seconds instead of 48 seconds or 14 minutes. If you look at a road in itself is not an obstacle. A road in itself is simply a feature on the land, isn't it? But if you look at a tree, the single tree in the prairie can be an obstacle. So it makes you wonder what's on the other side of the road. Hence, we move to the edge of the road until we can see it. We don't move any farther. We move what would be line of breast along that road. We study it for a while, and then we move across the road and we're done with that. You might say that, well, if I move everybody out into the road, what about the machine gun 100 yards down the road? Again, if you move three people across the machine, this is the three on a match syndrome. Three people dart across the road. There's the motion that makes that gunner look in that direction. Another four people move across the road. There's the motion of the barrel that brings the gun to bear. There's the strike of the match, lit. The first cigarette. There's the second cigarette lit. Now the gun is pointed in that direction when the next group... moves across the road. So you can buy your ticket and take your chances and make your choices, but you have to figure on a lot of these things in particular if you're going to say to a bunch of people, cross that road fellows, or we have to get to the other side of that field. There's a whole lot to ponder on, ain't there Mark? Most important here again, remember, it's time and delivery, but also minimizing target time. If you have to move through an exposed area, the idea is to both minimize and deceive. Minimize exposure and deceive with regard to force strength. That's one of the reasons. The old technique used to be called a ranger crossing when you move in force like that or in group like that. You also dis-signature, so it's harder to ID as you're moving through an area if somebody else is operating in a vehicle or security mode. Remember that the bad guys can't be everywhere all at once, contrary to what they try to claim. And because of that, there is, again, the rule of averages is what they're working on. The idea that if they throw enough bodies out there randomly, or with whatever system they come up with, systems, as we've told you before, patterns, kill. Anytime that you produce a pattern and somebody can start setting a clock by it, then somebody's going to use that clock to their advantage, not yours. Oh yes. And that needs to be taken into consideration. It's one of the reasons I joke, but I'm not, about taking a set of dice to determine your, for instance, your checkpoint schedules or any other activity. As random as the toss of a set, a pair of dice. As random being the key there. Even individuals, we've talked about camouflage. When building camouflage, Let somebody do something on their own. Give them an instruction and then step away and come back and let each group review and determine if actions that take place. Again, ingrained into the psyche, the genetics of what requires is reinforcing or bad input over the whole idea of how things, remembering how to use with regard to dispersion, sometimes or at a given point you have to bring force to bear. This is the problems. that we've tried to explain tarry case but sounds really great how many miles apart were you and fred think it instantly take care of it was a little too much of moving uh... reconnaissance personnel in in any kind of force in groups of five to disperse them to get the do their job right to move through the enemies real lines are moved through the area contract action help making contact without exposing yourself or some cases they were very over group you look at it each action eats up minutes especially when it's ground operations. When you're traveling to fight, when you're traveling to move through an area, remember you tack the actions you're seeing overseas in Iraq because they're all bragging up garbage again. And again the Israeli and American run ISIS, that's Israeli Israeli, needs some of these thermal images and everybody goes, oh look there's guys! And yes there's a cluster of three or four or five guys together and it's like they're, oh yeah, When they, you know, they're using special tech and they, during the day, American units, American uniforms, with 13, 14, or 15 men built up together. Points about that. Ten yards apart, at least, sometimes farther, and usually as a fireteam leader, if you've got everybody in a squad leader, in a place, make them, you force them to keep thinking about that. You may have to remind some people. People have a tendency to bunch up because safety in numbers is the concept. It's part of that pack thing again, that old... However, at a given point when you do collect for an assault or an attack, you do bring force within close proximity or the amount of energy is talked about. You know, think about this. For in this case, one over 100 yards. Properly dispersed and there's 10 yards between each man. What is the distance between 10 men if 10 yards is the distance? But over 100 yards. The guy in the front when he makes contact, he's pretty healthy. You know what I mean, guys? He goes, wow! Okay, so he goes crazy, he's bumping around. Around 10 yards. Number three. And remember, bullets travel faster, so if you can see, creating supporting fires is a nice thing. But remember, it doesn't mean the target has made contact. He's firing somebody up, and nobody can really see him all you're talking, and you're trying to... He's giving instruction. Now here's the other problem with this. Back 100 yards to the rear, that one guy that's tail end Charlie, let's not forget the guys that are carrying belts, machine gun ammunition, automatic weapons, anti-tank weapons, and 80 pounds. So people can run right by them. You can run at the same speed, but one of them is con-talking 10 men in one squad. Remember, in traveling, we're looking, if we use a road, we use a road and we're traveling, not just over one, and not, not, then you're looking at two sides of the road, a platoon, guys, that's only two squads. Cut your column length in half. You're still 10 yards apart. of contact and then two more that have to run up to catch up and then two more that have to run twice that distance. Oh and by the way the platoon is another hundred yards to the rear or when right and thing you're giving any kind of proper understanding or credit because traveling activities in motion is exciting. It's like getting sugar fixes or candy fixes. That's all that the movies do. But in reality the very dull part about it to where whereas you get older it will grind your feet. Remember there are two terms, fallen arches or flat feet. Okay, well you know what, let me give you a little hint about something. It's not that your arches fall. If you've been doing this stuff enough inside your feet, they don't hold proper structure anymore, and they go flat. I know we've got a caller here, but remember every time you step down, how many pounds of pressure are you applying guys? Or your body weight. 60 pounds of combat gear and do that for 10 years. Now I'll add 60 pounds of combat gear and every once in a while you're helping to carry the squad gun because the guy's tired. More kanz ammo or you're carrying like a set of things. Unlike the video games. You grift? Just the laws rotted off carry two because remember, you know, everybody at least carried one. Quickly the assignment was to carry two. Power. Even though again you can burn up real fast. That's a lot of platoon. Two times 40 is 80 rockets. little chunk of change there to be carrying with you for an infantry unit. But every pound you carry means so many tens of pounds of impact on your feet. And that's why you hear, you don't even talk about it anymore because, hell, everybody rides into everything. So the new guys, oh, we're doing it really rough. Really, I don't think we have any leg units left in the U.S. Army anywhere. Everybody, to one degree or another, is expected to be mechanized. or delivered by airplane. And don't forget, MyPod 2 base plate and somebody's carrying the optics. Yeah, but George did have your back, didn't it? I gotta say, I did it many fourths, many fourths, many fourths, marchies. Exactly. And remember guys, think about that for years, for decades. Yup. It takes its toll. But this is why we gotta think things through and understand the real world as opposed to the Hollywood movie version. The Unfun part.
