I’m 17 and i just enlisted in the Marines. How hard is the shooting part in boot camp? i have never fired a weapon in my life and i just wanted to know. also do you have to have like extremely good eyesight for it? because i have better eye sight in my right eye than in my left and at meps when i took the vision test i couldn’t see the part in my left eye and she changed something to where i look down and then i passed it? info please?
coke, hubby likes icetea too or MGD…I like antyhing not to strong tasting. What is a good suggestion for a case ? MIKES ICE tEA twisted teas? mom says something like XX??? Whats that IDEAs please . we are camping and boating
How do People Change after USMC boot camp? Is it bad or good? Do they come out hard and not care about things? I been hearing a whole lot of various things from just about everybody! My mans going to leave for boot camp what should i expect when he comes ba ck and even during!?
While raising the hard top of our Dutchman popup camper we forgot to open the one tie down and started cranking the top up. When it got to a certain point, the cable for the corner that we forgot to open made a loud pop. The cable that makes that corner go up broke. How do you go about fixing this problem. Does anyone have a schematic for repair?
I mean, what if everyone just said the hell with it, dropped all of our monetary responsibilities and simply went camping? A permanent vacation? Go live on a farm or what ever?
What the heck, it’s happening to us anyway.
Think it would be easier if we got a jump on the ways of the establishment instead of getting burned out by the process?
Would you be happier to make your own decisions about it?
It’s kind of a grinding noise, and actually making the turn takes more physical effort than it should. I’d like to have a bit of an idea as to what might be the causes before I take it to a mechanic. I bought this van used a year ago, and it’s a 2003 Grand Caravan, fairly low mileage, good tires. Already checked the power steering fluid, and it’s good.
I was thinking 35% for the back areas and 20% for the front driver’s and passenger doors.
can be hard to reach on some you have to press off the pulley thats on the pump just to get to the bolts. you will need a pulley puller for this you can rent one at a parts store. labor guide calls for 3.1 hrs so if you have never done one count on all day.
