Nothing like Big Army cadence! Where the Drill Sergeant knows how to call and form words, in English. And not mumble like a marine.

I see your ROUND BROWN in the background. I too was a Drill Sergeant from 1989 - 1991 KX4VET "I AM A DRILL SERGEANT"

Fn platoon squared away!

very cool to hear the juke box! i knew there were a few common cadences did not realize they were traditional!

B-4-3 great Memories of Ft. DIX 1987

The old cadence songs were better and had more meaning. This right here is really corny. Why is a SgtMajor marching troops? That is for Sgt's, Staff Sergeants and Sergeant First Classes to do. Not a friggin Sergeant Major. SMH

was looking at cadences and was not expecting to find my 25s AIT 1SG 🙌🏻

Thank you for posting this, hearing those old familiar cadences put a smile on my face. D Co. Death Dealers 1/38, 2002/2003 (We had Christmas Exodus just after Red phase).

Still useful in 2024 thanks for this !

2-47, 2002, a whole different element in 2-47 at that time....I definitely love the A/A Cadence. Funny how after a few tours you miss the small things...huh....???

What if the credentials you want is not approved? on the website, how do you go about getting the money to pay for it?

Thank you for posting!! I need to know this information for my job

Interesting, the versions of the everywhere I go one had always been the drill sergeant saying "there is a private there" and the privates say "there is a drill sergeant there"

I'm trying to do this same thing, mind giving me an idea on how you pulled it off?

Dicked up. I would have been so annoyed for these to be my guys

Camera man, get another job

Did you ever do any time at the 10th MTN DIV?

Hi Jean, I’ve been trying to sign up for the chartered retirement counselor course and exam but all the vendors are just flight schools irrelevant to my provider and/or course (when applying to request payment to the school. Credential assistance only since there is no degree). Is this common? What workarounds are there?

I was hoping you would’ve shown how you tie the actual transmitting wire on the D-Ring before the soldered connector attached to the lug Because when you pre-cut the wire for each leg , let’s say for 80 meters which is in the ballpark of 61 feet , well , no one ever explains to a rookie , does that extra 5 inches of strain relief tied to the D-Ring fit into the 61 foot length equation ? Also , how about the other end , when you’re wrapping it around the 550 cord which I will be using , folding it back onto itself and wrapping it to make it secure , making it shorter , does that change the resonance of the antenna also ? I’ve recently taken an interest in building my own 80 and 40 meter dipole . I have purchased a lot of material and wire , even a good Rig Expert analyzer . But before I get started I’d like to know if I need to cut the wires longer and trim as needed ? Or is wrapping the wire at the end around itself going to shorten it in the eyes of the analyzer ? And what knot type do I use at the D-Ring end ? Great video too . Thanks for the ideas . That looks really great Maybe we will cross paths on the bands . Thanks for your time served in the Army 🫡 I served in the Marines 1993-1997 KK4ISW

Guessing you were not a 31C.

Way too much work. Take an ordinary plastic electrician box, place the balun, connector etc in it. Wing nuts on each side for the poles of the antenna. A piece of PVC pipe a bit longer than the box width, drill 2 holes on each end, loop the antenna wire trough the holes and attach the pigtails to the box. That's it.

What size pvc is used, I could not find the size (perhaps 1")?

I just use the eyes on the end as strain relief and element connection, eliminating half the connections.. Just get them long enough to use a wing nut on them.

Well designed, well constructed. This antenna would be imposable to implement without a center support. If it were any heavier you will need a crane to lift it. when going to all the trouble you have for this you should incorporate a 1:1 balun. To help combat connection corrosion a small amount of conductive grease could be used where your spade connectors join to the bolt and nuts. Don't forget a tiny weep hole on the bottom adjacent to the coax connection. Overall I enjoyed the video you have done fine job. Wes - KF7BWS. P.S. you have made it very easy to change elements and the center support should last a life time.

What is the name of your drill hole tool?

Beautiful build, lot of fun, and extremely satisfying,,,that, will last forever,,,,GREAT vid,,,de NV1H😎

What if I paid for an Exam from the Vendor, and later realized its on CA will I get reimbursed for the same?

Nice Job, from one Senior NCO to another. I also serve as a Drill Sergeant 88 - 91 Ft. Sill Oklahoma.

Ah good ol basic training 👏🏼 good job to DS very organized and handled it very well

It's a very good game, my only main issue with it is it's lack of controller support which hopefully will be solved in its finalized version

I miss having fun.

Does the Army CA go straight to the vendor, or do they reimburse you? Most of the resources/vendors I’ve found require you to pay/sign-up before you can get details like the total cost, training schedules, etc.

Happy Memorial day and thank you for your service. Very nice video First Sergeant. Your methodical work turned out a very nice product. I will follow this design in creating my next dipole. The next step might be to incorporate a simple 1:1 balun into the center insulator to balance the dipole with the unbalanced coax. This would help to avoid common mode currents and potential EMI and the related disrupted radiation pattern. Adding the balun may require a larger T-connector depending on the size of toroid and related RF power rating.

Hey man .. Well done! :)

Good evening SR. , i pass my general license on April 2023 and tomorrow am going to build my first 20M dipole antenna using your video as reference , this is a amazing work of art ,cant wait to do it , thank you!!

Hey, man question for you. I just got everything approved, and the office said they paid and approved the request, how do I actually pay for the exam does it come as a credit, do they purchase it, or do I submit the approval to the organization. I'm trying to do SEC+

hey jean, im also trying to take the ccna, what vendor did you use for the actual test and not training, im having trouble getting a quote for the exam itself.

Bravo 551 hooah

Can I use a tee with threads so I can use threaded plugs? I can’t find certain parts here in Ontario.

So if the resistance of a dipole is 72 ohms, how do you match it to a 50 ohm transceiver?

He was my DS back in 2016. Panthers Never Quit DS!

After completing the course will credits then be added to your jlist ?

My TA still hasn't been paid for the fall of 2022... what the hell is going on?

Did this in 1996. We had to do side straddle hops in there with the mop gear on 😂. Then take off the mask and asked who the company commander was and the company first sergeant. True fact our 1SG was 1SG Favre and was Brett Favre’s uncle, no joke. He even looked like him in the face
