By any chance, was the USS Momsen a giant floating M113 with 5 inch guns?

That poor guy...why'd he have to be stuck with that name?Last edited by TopHatter; 11 Oct 16,, 17:47.“He was the most prodigious personification of all human inferiorities.

Since the thread popped back up, I found out that aside from sharing a fascination with OOR over SHSNBN they are both Combat Engineers.

Kicked out of the Marine Corps with under a year of service. Peer Evaled out at Officer Candidate School. Never held a MOS or served in the fleet.

True. It seems we did our part in keeping the Sparky from being anything but a fat wannabe posting youtube videos about his vast "how to fight" inspirations playing video games and airsoft.
Who's service kept him around? the US Army. AR's outfit.
Seems we are in the clear.Comment

But also noticed we put him out of harm's way in the Army RESERVE...where he would have looked longingly at M113s from a distance in the Army National Guard. Reserve engineers are wheeled.“Loyalty to country ALWAYS. Loyalty to government, when it deserves it.”

so I invited Mike Sparks onto WAB, I'm going to list him as a Military Professional/Defense Professional for now thanks to his indepth knowledge of the M-113.
starting next week I'll give him Administrator privileges.
