What article from your military career would you put in the RallyPoint time capsule? TA-50, war trophies, souvenirs, etc. I'm starting with a dehydrated pork patty from the old dark brown MRE's. In 50 years, it will taste the same.

It took 18 day for someone to finally catch that. I am terrified of Sharks. Never see JAWS in theater when you are only 9.

The "blue flame of visibility." I wonder what kind of chemicals we exposed ourselves to with those tabs? I used to mark my TRP's with those bad boys. Engineer stake with a tin can and 3 of those suckers put enough hear to make the can glow hot for thermals on the Bradleys without producing visible flame to dismounts. Good times.

My dear sir, even professors will tell you carbon dating is not 100 percent accurate. Until scientists can tell me without a doubt that it is 100% accurate, I consider it a falsehood and a lie. and yes if you look at the Bible, I wasn't there in the beginning of course but roughly between 7 K and ten thousand years old. what's so hard to understand about that?

I know about all the reasons for smaller projectiles, velocities, base loads, weights of extra ammo, etc., but I am just a larger caliber kinda guy. 7.62 NATO just has that needed thumping power.

A Skilcraft pen, a packet of bug juice also known for cleaning stainless steel urinals, Navy dress blues including Dixie cup cover (because 50 yrs from now they "may" be replaced), Navy camouflage uniform, because that better be replaced 50 yrs from now, and a set of sound-powered phones.
