Sgt Murphy (early 80's) who was in Force Recon said he could only handle 3 day mission ops. Mostly because he couldn't sleep, and they didn't use vehicles. I've only been in one CH 47. That is when I found out that it quilt lining over all the hydraulic lines. Now all the CH46 that I flew on all had hydraulic fluid all over the deck. You never walked on or off of them. You just slid on or off of them. The fuel tank in the center of CH46 for extended range didn't bother me. The frayed hose going to it was a different story. I had a but pack that I kept a wooly pully, beanie, gloves in a zip-lock bag. Then I had poncho on the outside. That was my lumbar support and pillow. Great Stories and lessons.
I do my best when watching your content to take it seriously, however, when Dorr sits more than one other person down I now know what to expect. Thanks guys. Good talk.
My longest mission by far for sure was when we drove in from Kuwait to Baqubah, what a long slow miserable drive, add in some broke down vehicles and a couple of little attacks and man a huge journey escorting trucks hauling tanks, Bradley’s, and equipment.
Tier One and Tier Two Soldiers and Sailors ( with an occasional Marine Raider ) giving the goods on TTPs, anecdotes, and common sense and humor, from a MILSOF ( Military Special Operations Forces) perspective. This is " Tactical Hyve Actual" . Amen and Roger That, Solid Copy.
The way things are going in the world today especially in America, you might get that chance if they do a draft bc the military cannot get anyone right now, there recruiting numbers are so low they are desperate for new blood.
The longest "op" was constant patrolling the Iraqi desert for 4 months non-stop. We slept where we stopped, got up in the morning or night and patrolled again. No shower or good rest for 4 months really wore us out.
2001 Afghanistan January. I had been in country for hours and a team took heavy contact, so we jumped on the birds and they got us there quick. that turned into a move to contact. After 4 days our pows got taken away. We where jealous that those those dirt bags got to go to before us. Due to the heavy enemy presence it turned into a large operation that had us there long enough that I can’t remember how many days we where there. 3 weeks maybe. It was cold high enough altitude that we had a guy with altitude sickness. and of all things it rained.
Not measuring d*** but this, longevity in the suck, is where the US Marine Corps shines. Constantly living out of our trucks for, not days or weeks, but a month or a bit more at a time.
It's interesting hearing Coch's perspective on a story Andy Stumpf has told a number of times! Coch, would you to see you on Andy's Cleared Hot!

Repeal the NFA!
Long missions without resupply would make me sad lol I can already guess how I'd feel
Interesting to find out they carry little birds in 47s on those long runs the littles can't reach.
Cool
How about your best Hog Hunting stories?
I have a feeling Cooch lost at Smiles every time just cause he’s always smiling.
Abolish the ATF
Repeal The NFA!!
Arrest politicians that support the NFA.
Hold the line, do not comply
Support BLM
You speak of 47s...but several videos were 46s
I can sense the suck. It’s part of who these men are.

Why do SEALs need trucks? I'm not or never have been a SEAL but Sea, Air and Land...
What do you mean? General mobilization is a gift from the gahds.
For transporting their combat flip flops...
