The Truth Behind My Wild Purchases

its actually simple. the military auctions off alot ALOT. its not hard to find. edit: its why he had so much paperwork to get the blackhawk. its either a museum piece. or it has to be totally inspected to be able. military grade usually means the lowest bidder. and decent quality at best for the times.

[@JohnFarrell-jo2sw]

A lot of that stuff is military equipment the government buys the stuff from military contractors for huge amounts of money and then it’s probably sitting around in government warehouse or the military uses it a couple times and then it’s sold for pennies on the dollar to make room for new stuff the government buys for crazy prices the government is super wasteful with taxpayer money and military contractors are raking in the profits they probably donate to politicians to keep them contracts rolling in

[@bncsmom1]

The problem would be getting it to Maui. It might be rather expensive to get it there then get it back to the mainland. That being said, I totally agree that quite a lot of these things would be perfect for a disaster relief group.

Did water purification in the Marines, those are similar but smaller reverse osmosis units that we would have (1st gen was ROWPU, 2nd gen TWPS). This is the modern LWPS (lightweight water purification system), deployed after I discharged from the USMC. These were designed to be deployed with a Humvee in mind rather than 7 ton and HE support with generation operation. All the same equipment, high pressure pumps push through RO elements after a granular filtration as a pre filter. You can get water so clean if you get it right it can be as pure as distilled. Send these and me out to Maui, I'll call up some of my 1171 boys and we'll show you how to get some clean out water out of these straight from the ocean!
