    Default LCAC Ops

    I have lost my mind. If found, please give it a snack and return it?

    Really cool!

    The Marine Corps version has more than that, Sergeant Major. I hate them. You can bet if they was any way I could swing it, I flew or took the Amtrak. Maybe if somebody would inform the boat's pilot that LCACs in fact CANNOT fly ...

    They look cool, I guess, and I'm sure some swear by them. I'll take the Frog leaking hydraulic fluid all over the place and destined to lose power at any given second

    Those things are too high tech for me. I guess I am just getting old.

    Old timers lol

    Some of the comments in this thread are the same things our grandpas said about aircraft carriers back in the day

    "that's too high tech, who needs to fly an aero plane off a ship? A good battleship is all you need"

    Innovations like this are A) the reason we are the the best military in the world and B) actually help recruiting, that thing looks like an oversize remote control toy , much the same as training today mimics video games in so many respects

    True that, Sergeant Major. I'm not against high tech, but I have to wonder about the serviceability of some of the stuff. Give me a .45 and an M-14 and as long as I got a bore punch and ammo I'm in business. All this "cool looking" stuff looks like to much work and more shit to go wrong when least desired.
