    I was a Field Radio Operator ( MOS 2531, now 0621) in the Marine Corps, then, I cross decked on over to the Army's 75th Ranger Regiment, however, now that I AM a Veteran in the Civilian World, I honestly never thought how important HAM and CB AM/ FM Radio was so important to Me in a Survivalist Prepper mindset. Thank You, Sergeant Major and Josh for the Video and It's accompanying Information and Intelligence ( I2).

      *Thank~You for Your Service!*
      My Dad was a Field Radio Operator in the Army in Eiretrea (now Ethiopia) from 1946-48, then became an MP there until 1950. He loved that country & its ppl, and truly admired Haile Selassie (so much that he & my Mom named their 1st dog that, lol). He was a GENUINE "equalist", NOT one of these phony, commie Feminists, and treated me exactly like my brother who was one year older. I was usually the only girl in most of my math & science classes, and the ONE time I complained to him, "BUT, Daaaaaadddddd, BOYS DON'T *LIKE* SMART GIRLS!" (said with my hands on my hips & in that *HORRIBLE, WHINY VOICE that ONLY TEEN-AGE GIRLS CAN DO),* and after 15 seconds of stone silence & not a MUSCLE MOVING, HE BURST OUT LAUGHING & said, *"YEP".* Of course, I found that SMART boys liked SMART girls, but that's a whole different story... Anyway, BEFORE he let me get my learner's permit for driving, I had to demonstrate how to change a tire & put air in them, change the oil/oil filter, check all fluid levels, change the air filter, change the spark plugs (with non-pre-gauged: he made me look up the correct spacing in Chilton's), I even rebuilt a carburetor bc my bro was working on a '69 Impala. After ALL THAT, I ended up buying a brand new mini-truck bc I'd saved so much money it was a much better deal, lol. It was a manual transmission, bc I'm a control freak. And I got a truck bc I worked w/handicapped kids & got the court's permission to sign them out of the facility, so I'd take turns with them taking them out places & it was just easier to toss their wheelchairs in the back. (It was hilarious bc I live in SoCal & Disneyland used to be not too expensive, so I could afford to take them there, OR Knott's Berry Farm, or the movies, or the beach, but 99% of the time they wanted to just come over to my house [I was just 16 & still lived at home- plus one of my 'kids' was Deaf, so I was taking college classes & my folks AND my bro were ALSO learning sign language with me]. BUT my Dad put a CB in my truck. I had a *10pm curfew,* BUT I drove cross-country at 17, lol! I STILL HAVE THAT CB & STILL KNOW MORSE CODE. Sadly, it won't help me here in Calif, though. Our gov. has banned ALL repeater antennas. I do not know HOW he gets away with this crap. I do not know HOW his illegal election stands. They called the vote at 3pm with the other guy AHEAD by 70k votes, BUT they said that Newsom won... WTF? Every petition we've done has been rejected, even though we've gotten MORE THAN 2 MILLION SIGNATURES. None of the ppl in office have actually been elected. Weird, huh?

    My Dad has been into HAM radio for most of his life. He was 14 or 15 when he first started developing an interest around 1960 and built his first radio from a kit, he is 75 now. He turned his hobby into a career working as supervisor for our hometown's city wide police and emergency communications department. I was always fascinated to sit and watch him write out longhand as he translated Morse code like a champ. In that way he communicated with people all over the world. He has his group of cronies that meet same time, same channel almost every night. I am starting to appreciate the importance of HAM radio and may pursue a license of my own. I'd like to do so before Dad passes on to glean a bit of knowledge from him (no way I would ever understand all he knows), and perhaps inherit some of his cool gear too.

      You dad entered the program when you had to know Morse code. That separates the men from the boys. That was dropped with the multi-channel portable radio technology hit the field. I salute him because a lot of people have been saved by signals bouncing off the ionosphere and picked up by Ham operators and relayed to appropriate rescue services.

    My brother in law use to be a radio operator back in the day in the early 2000s, may he Rest In Peace. I use to sit and listen to him talk on the radio for hours to people he never met but they had a bond that they would be on at the same time daily. I remember he talked to people in other countries. I asked him how he did that because I was intrigued and he said in Spanish. It’s this box called la Chancla in Spanish which translates to “the sandal”. I can definitely say that the radio community is very very close and look out for each other because when someone needed help in the city he would be right there.

I started to ask questions locally, but it seemed that some of the ham community were arrogant, super snobby elitists. Made me laugh due to my background in comms, knowing that it’s not rocket science. This video inspired me to give it another chance. There are idiots in every hobby that need to be ignored (see some posts to this video), and good people that are willing to share what they know and be ambassadors for the future of ham radio.

      @stevem5691 3 года назад +62

      This is true but it's best to get the practice before it's needed. While the govt most likely wouldn't be persuing FCC violations during a full blown SHTF situation, there will most likely be a lead up to this.
      Look at things now, the govt is printing money at a crazy rate, society is breaking down, politically we're in a terrible place and overall, many is broke and pissed. The govt will most likely go on the hunt for any money they can grab, be it with increased audits from the IRS, gutting different departments and possibly fines for things that used to be "not a big deal". Add to this the recent people getting involved in HAM and the unfortunately attitude the HAM community (mostly older) has towards newbies in general, I wouldn't be surprised if 65 year old Bob in his rec room radio station reports you to the FCC because "that guy doesn't have a license!" or "He hasn't said his call sign in 45 mins!".
      It's a quick way to get screwed over that can be avoided with some quick paperwork. While I dont agree that the govt should have any place in what free citizens do or how they choose to communicate, a license gives you ample opportunity to practice the skills you need to know while in a stress free environment which will allow you to better operate your equipment when stress is the new daily normal.
      Besides, you can just stop identifying yourself in the future should you want anonymity while on the air.
      Basically, learn and do it properly now so you know how to do it professionally and competently later.

Now that I'm quarantined for the net fourteen days, I'm studying for an Extra license. At my age, survival just from day to day is an iffy thing to consider. :-) Thanks again.

    We MUST start to communicate with other groups or militias. Communications is vital and we need to start NOW time is going fast. Even the need to communicate if an invasion of a foreign nation (Chinese) we must act quickly. Look up some gun groups and give them a call then get together over coffee and exchange info! Then do it again with another group or militias! This is so very important and it is imperative to be able to contact others for help or to meet up when something goes down!

You epitomize what a man is.... not for your choice of profession but rather your ability to stay focused & true to yourself.... have a goal, a path and a vision to succeed..... yet when 'first contact' happens you had/have a real strong ability to re-evaluate, re-focus and continue towards your goal....
    This episode also shows even though you have a vast life experience closet of talents you are never to self-important to learn something new!!
    You are both strong role models!! Thank you!!

    Great info, I am disabled and also have a serious illness, but I have wanted to become proficient in some skill(s) that could help others during a major crisis should one occur- this seems like the ideal way to be effective even with my limited mobility. As a kid I loved sitting in my Dad's truck and talking with truckers on his CB, and when Mount Saint Helen's erupted, only one person in our very rural town was able to get and spread information about it and at that time, I thought that was cool, but now the essentialism of that ability to know things has become even more clear.Thanks for this very informative video.

    I checked into 449.700 here in Los Angeles last night (first conversation I've ever heard on a radio!) and heard a community check-in as well as a fun questionnaire happening across the greater Los Angeles area. What a great community to peek into - I downloaded the hamstudy app last week and feel ready to pass my Technician test once things re-open, but for now, I feel much better having taken my first steps.

    I hate the fact that our dollar, compared to the US dollar is worth shit. Sometimes I think it would be a lot easier to just move to the states, and the fact that I could have an AR is another reason.
