Actively-serving Marine Mustang here… 11 years enlisted with last billet as a platoon sergeant during PHANTOM FURY. Now, I’m a judge advocate focused on military criminal law.

Waiting (not so) patiently on my GFC which should be done at the end of August.

Semper Fi,

USMC 86-94, reserve Stinger missile gunner and activated for Desert Storm/Shield, got out as E5. Just picked up my GFC on 5/27/24. Getting the hang of it, and trying not to spend too much. Like YetiX mentioned, used, because Marines always get hand me down stuff.

Looking to organize a So Cal get together with other GFC owners, likely in northern San Fernando Valley (Northridge/Chatsworth) or even possibly Santa Clarita area for morning of July 27 or Aug 8. Maybe a parking lot of a coffee or bfast spot. Any recommendations on a location, let me know and I’ll post it in the Meet Ups section.

How are you attaching this? Can you please share some more pictures of setup? Thanks




Hope this helps answer your question, the picture of my tent pull uses a device that can be purchased through Lumbering Bear. I have been using them rather than the eye bolts.

Retired Navy 1999-2020. Still serving as a federal civilian – currently experiencing whiplash and turmoil with the numerous orders out of the White House.
My rig is used, but new to me for only two weeks. Ft Sill OK is home. Looking forward to Spring Break!
