Lennie, I guess it's silly to point out to you that SINCGARS is
NOT the end-all of radio communications in the Armed Forces.

but you know nothing of the system where I a 54E know a afair about
them, without having served a commo related MOS. make it very dubious

The SINCGARS "family" of R/Ts is now a QUARTER MILLION in number
of supplied and operational small-unit radios used by ALL
branches (USCG use unknown), primarily for land and land-air
tactical communications. They began operational life in 1989,
first in Korea. Designed and made by ITT, Fort Wayne, IN,
(other production by General Dynamics Land Division now
disbanded and reorganized), a QUARTER MILLION radio sets of the
same type exceeds every other U.S. military radio set/system in
number. Ever.

Stebie had five years of his service life to see one, yet is
"unfamiliar" with it. [the USMC does indeed use it, is using
it now in Iraq and Afghanistan, as is the USA] For that matter,
Stebie cannot recall/remember/mention ANY nomenclature of any
military radio except some MARS equipment, despite 18 years
claimed as a military radio whiz-bang. That's NOT consistent
with ANY radio-interested person. [Stebie is unfamiliar with
the HF-band AN/PRC-104 manpack in service since 1986 with
land forces...nice little "QRP" rig designed and made by
Hughes Aircraft Ground systems, operational with USMC and USA]

Perhaps Steve was the kind of "A" NCOIC that walked around with a
coffee cup the size of a beer mug and too busy handing out commands,
demands, and insults to have noticed the equipment?

pretty much or else left so clueless about it that he did not realize
he was just holding a spot on the MTOE, and since he mat well have
recieved a nice comendation for holding down that spot he may have
concluded he did something
