There's still a few places where you could put some more lights....maybe a set in the rear to get tailgaters off your a$$?

oooo but you see we thought ahead and did that :cool: . me and bob put two fog lights on the back. I told him to do it so he can see what hes running over when backing up at night. :p
also he has means for losing tailgaters. when they get to close he has a button up front that he pushes and shoots water onto there car/truck. it works very good :D
 






I still think you have some room left for lights on there. I suggest buying stock in whichever brand you have been purchasing. I sure hope you guys have a relay for ever pair of lights. If not you'll have a serious wiring issue on your hands.

Also I suggest a S/C sticker on the side to go with the hood mounted blower.

It's looks nice with 35's, mods do well though when it does not impare drivability.

I don't think the skull would have anything to do with implying that it has more HP. I like the lights in the eyes though, that's cool.

When does he goto bootcamp and where? I was stationed at Camp Pendleton.

P.S. Tell him to keep a low profile at boot camp, best way to stay off the quarter deck.

Semper Fi
 






hes there

You get to fire the SAW, M-60, 50CAL and MK-19 grenade launcher. Nothing like launching 20 HE grenades in less than 10 seconds.

The .50cal was my crew serve weapon and I had it with me at all times during training ops. She could stop a train...:smoke:
 






that just made my day. i think in the first week there we throw live grenades. i cant wait for the m203 though. i got to fire it on rifle range week because was the series high shooter. missed company high shooter by 2 points.
 






hey man, glad u made it home in 1 piece. no place like home, eh? when u gonne leave again and for how long now? time for a gilmer trip eh?

The 203 is small time....lol

I almost got on the rifle team, but they screwed up my join/train dates so I never went. I was pissed, but ya, it's great being the high shooter huh? I ended up being a Marksman:shoot:Instructor instead during my last couple years.

Good luck,
Matt
 






Welcome back Marine. OohRah! Good Job on the Range. Coincidentally, I'm on the Rifle Range this week, but I don't shoot nearly as good as you do. I qual tommorow.
 






Welcome back! I'm glad you finally got to see your feature first hand!

I heard the scoring system has changed for the rifle range. Is this true or are they still scoring on the 250 max points system?
 






yes they did go back to the 250 point scoring. i dont like it very much but its not like i had a choice. thanks rick again for leaving it up until i got back, i got new pics for all to see of the new crap i put on in the past few days. ill be sure to put them up before i leave for school of infantry.

Actually, the 250 point system is for ELR, SLR uses the 65 point system. ELR is entry level rifle, SLR is sustainment level rifle. Basically, in boot camp they use the 250 point system, everywhere else they use the 65 point system. I shot a 35 yesterday, which is Sharpshooter. Bob, Are you still coming out here after SOI/MCT? Let me know when you are on the way out here so we can meet up. Until then, have a great time on boot leave.
 






ill be coming out to MCT on monday but i dont have to "clock in" until tuesday at 1500, so if you want to meet up at the airport i think my plane gets in at 2230 on monday and i have no idea where to go to tell them im there. my cell number is a california number now so i have one when i get out there if you want to call it on monday il be there.

Funny, they did the same thing with me. I was there a day before I had to check in. Ended up staying at a friends house.

Good Luck,
Matt
