Yes, the cleanup and recovery is going to take a long time.

We are pushing out to the "unreachable" parts of Nepal. I will be the PA chief for Joint Task Force 505/Forward. No idea how long we'll be there.

I have done this before in the 2006 Indonesia earthquake. I have been giving my Marines talks on what to expect. None of them have seen bodies outside of a funeral home. I won't go into details here about the senses assaulted in places like this.

I will update you guys here (Not this thread, sorry for post jacking) when I can. You can check the III MEF or 3d MEB facebook pages to see what we have done and will be doing.

With the various diseases that will pop up just make sure your Marines are medically monitored. This will be an experience they will never forget, unfortunately.

AND don't forget to tell them to carry around a bottle of Vicks! Just put some under or just inside your nose and it will help, at least for a little while.

I don't envy them!

Just checked again...still nothing from Dan.

Dan....WHERE ARE YOU???

I think he has a new job.

at least that would make a little sense out of the silence

Good one Ray!

I agree with Feldgrun, I scan the forum ( without logging in about once every other month and haven't seen anything to comment on).

Tom,
I also agree with you. It's their company and they are 100% entitled to run it however they want, but it seems obvious to me that they're missing out on a lot of market space opportunity.

Back when there was the death chat thread a new member could make JYD in a week. When Dan introduced the 1311 to JYD's only I remember a few guys made JYD in a few day posting in that thread.

Years ago there used to be many more active members on here, but it seemed like scrapyard introduced more knives back then. There was more to talk about back then. Kind of quiet on here the past few years.
