WHERE ARE THE SANDBAGS? WHERE ARE THE GUNSHIELDS? WHY ARE THEY IN UNARMORED, RUBBER-TIRED TRUCKS AND NOT TRACKED ARMORED VEHICLES? WHY IS THIS VEHICLE IN GREEN CAMOUFLAGE AND NOT DESERT TAN? ANYONE READING FM 55-30? EFFECT: THIS IS NOT A GAME. THE WHEELED U.S.

ARMY MADNESS IS HORRIBLY KILLING AND MAIMING AMERICA'S SOLDIERS. Army officials are LYING to the American Congress and the American people. These deaths are PREVENTABLE and the result of U.S. Army incompetence that refuses to admit wheeled vehicles are not suitable for combat. Army laziness not to sand bag and paint helicopters and ground vehicles in the proper.

HUMVEE WARNED VULNERABLE IN 1989: Click on photo to see in full size to view! The 1 st TSG (A) has been warning the marine corps and Army for over a decade to stop the driving around in a wheeled truck stupidity. Young 2LT Mike Sparks wrote an article in the November 1989 U.S. Naval Institute PROCEEDINGS magazine to do something about Humvee vulnerability 4 YEARS before the Somalia debacle (see pictures of the article above). Plain text of his article: We also had the experience of thousands of Vietnam combat vets to not become a road-bound truck dependent force. Instead, post-Vietnam with no one shooting at us we where there would be safe 'rear' areas for the to drive around in unarmored, unarmed trucks and for the 'studs' to hitch a ride then fight on foot mano-e-mano. We tried to get industry to take action as the January 7, 1994 letter to Stewart & Stevenson, makers of the FMTV series of trucks shows below: Now years later after over 1, 800 dead and 20, 000 wounded the Army/marines STILL want to drive around in vulnerable wheeled trucks.

They must have a death wish--for OTHERS of lesser rank. 'Just a few weeks before he was scheduled to leave Iraq, Army SPC. Clark of Chico was killed by a remote-control bomb, the Pentagon reported. The 20-year-old Soldier was ready to come home, said his mother, Lyne Clark. 'He wanted out of Iraq so bad.

All he was seeing was dead Soldiers.' Clark was killed Friday in Baghdad as he was riding through the city in a three-vehicle convoy. Clark's childhood dream was to become an elite Airborne Ranger, and he had just been accepted to the training school and was planning to attend when he came back from Iraq, his mother said.

Clark had been in Iraq since March, his mother told the San Francisco Chronicle. 'He kept telling me how bad it was over there.' Lynne Clark said her son received a General Equivalency Diploma early so he could leave Chico High School to enlist in the army. After entering the army in 2001, Clark was assigned to a signal battalion in Darmstadt, Germany, where he specialized in detection and decontamination of biological warfare agents. He was part of the first invasion wave of Operation Iraqi Freedom.

Clark's aunt, Robin Clark, said he always wanted his family to be proud of him. 'He knew if he didn't get out of Chico, he wasn't going to get anywhere,' Robin Clark said. 'He wanted to make something of himself.' Www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/news/archive/2003/12/09/state1754EST0128.DT I HAVE NEWS FOR EVERYONE. SPC CLARK WAS 'SOMEONE' WHETHER HE BECAME A 'RANGER' OR NOT; HE WAS A HUMAN BEING MADE IN GOD'S IMAGE.

Free Download Pinnacle Studio 12 Plus Crack. SPC CLARK WAS A SOLDIER. AND HE EARNED HIS 'RIGHT' TO WEAR HIS BLACK BERET IN SPADES. Now in memory of this hero its time for us--THE LIVING---to live UP to the heroes who have gone before us and make our Army ALL THAT IT NEEDS TO BE.

Its going to take courage to face the truth. THE WHEELED ARMY IS A FAILURE. SPC CLARK DIED BECAUSE WE FAILED HIM--by sending him to combat in a wheeled truck. IF THE ARMY PERSISTS WITH ITS CURRENT FANTASY OF CHEAPO RUBBER-TIRED WHEELED VEHICLES WITH COMPUTERS FOR MICROMANAGEMENT, MORE MEN WILL DIE AND BE MAIMED HORRIBLY.

Its time to wake up and grow up. Ranger tabs don't stop bullets. Nor do callous rationalizations that our casualties are 'ok' because HMMWVs are trucks not combat vehicles (circular illogic).

When in COMBAT ride in COMBAT vehicles. 1-800-OBVIOUS to those not clouded by egotism. The 360 degree, non-linear battlefield of today doesn't allow us topick and chose where combat will or will not take place.

Everyone had better be able to fight and survive, and this means TRACKED not wheeled vehicles. Wheeled vehicles be they Stryker, HMMWVs or FMTV trucks are not combat vehicles. Wheeled vehicles are 28% less space/weight efficient than tracked vehicles. Freud Instincts And Their Vicissitudes Pdf Free there. You frankly cannot make wheeled vehicles RPG-proof because their wheels have to turn to steer and they can never be as armor protected as tracked vehicles.

Sending our men into combat in anything less than a RPG-resistant light tracked AFV is letting heroes like SPC Clark down and its time this wheeled madness be stopped in America's Army. Its going to take Congress and the American people to save our Soldiers because the Army is fullof weak co-dependant people who are too proud and arrogant to admit their dreamof a lazy Army rolling on rubber tire wheels evading breaking a sweat by computer mental gymnasics to create linear safe and front lines that do not exist is a miserable failure.

The Army continues to 'spin' how their wheeled vehicles and computers have succeeded as the enemy 'votes' otherwise with RPGs, IEDs and AK47s. Its interesting how the Army 'spins' away our dead and mangled men by citing how heroic they are to excuse away their incompetence, which if corrected would result in living instead of dead heroes. Able bodied men and women with all their limbs to enjoy the rest of their lives.

This provides guidance for safe spot or touchup painting using Chemical Agent Resistant Coating ( CARC) paint. Is limited to touch-up or spot painting using a brush or roller. As stipulated in TB 43-0242, CARC Spot Painting, dated 1 January 1991, Units are not allowed to completely repaint vehicles or spray paint any portion. Moreover, TG No. 144, Guidelines for Controlling Health Hazards in Painting Operations, states that touch-up painting is done to prevent corrosion, not for purely cosmetic reasons. If the paint is marred, but not deep enough to see bare metal, you do not need to paint.

Units are only authorized to use single component CARC paint. The table below lists NSNs for single component CARC. Make sure you read the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for each paint/solvent used. Color Color Number NSN Size Green* -01-229-7546 1 Qt Can Brown* -01-229-7543 1 Qt Can Black* -01-229-7540 1 Qt Can Sand -01-234-2934 1 Qt Can Aircraft Green -01-246-0717 1 Qt Can Tan 686 -01-276-3638 1 Qt Can * Color for 3-color camouflage system Solvents used in CARC and other paints are flammable. Never paint near open flames or where there are sparks, like welding or grinding. Never apply CARC to surfaces that will exceed 400° F (Exhaust pipes, engine manifolds, etc.). Heating painted surfaces releases toxic gases, vapors, and metal fumes.

If the existing paint requires surface preparation, manual 'wet' sanding is the recommended method (Old paint may contain lead or chromate's). 'Wet' sanding eliminates the need for respiratory protection. According to the Preventive Maintenance Magazine dated April 1996, decals are a possible alternative to using CARC for bumper numbers. See page 3 for decal NSNs. Potential Exposures. HDI, a component in CARC, is a potential sensitizer especially to asthmatics. Soldiers who are asthmatic should not apply CARC, as a severe life threatening allergic reaction may occur.

Chemical overexposures do not occur when applying CARC outdoors using a brush or roller. Respiratory protection is not required for outdoor brush or roller painting. However, personnel must don chemical goggles, NBC gloves, a hat, and cover arms to prevent skin contact (NSNs provided below). If Commanders desire respiratory protection nonetheless, the M40 NBC mask may be used. This applies only for operations performed outdoors-involving one quart of CARC per person, per day. DOL Repair Activity Division accomplishes all other painting operations (i.e.

Using more than one quart per person per day, spray-painting, painting in areas with restricted airflow (inside/under vehicles).

Contact the DPW Hazardous Waste (Compliance) Office at telephone 967-3268 for disposal instructions. Preventing unnecessary waste is very easy - Do not spot paint until you have enough area that will use up a one-quart can. Because once the can is open the paint starts curing and hardens within hours. Resealing does not stop the curing process.

Is it generally not a problem to choose to install a piece of 32bit software outside the win 7 default program folder for 32bit software?
