That Mars mini I linked to above is essentially a thermal camera that is small enough to use on a pistol and has a ballistic reticle with a built in LRF.
I had never heard that. But coincidentally when I was at A Sqn the OC and 2IC’s tanks were named Apricot and Apple.
Tank naming conventions are that all A Sqn tanks begin with A, B Sqn with B, etc. The names of the tanks within a Troop share a theme, e.g 3 Troop, A Sqn tanks were named after demons (Azazel, Abbadon & I can’t remember the third)
In 2 Troop ours were based on Greek mythology:
12 (Troop leader) - Apollo
12A (Troop SGT) - Athena
12B (Troop CPL and the tank I was gunner on) - Atropos.
Atropos was the fate who cut the thread of life.
1 Troop were - Apocalypse, Armageddon and Antichrist
4 Troop - Only one I can remember is Amber-Lynn.
Reminds me of the problems I am having with Discord at this time. Another circular reference that does not seem to be solvable for the foreseeable future.

Pigs are smart. Smarter than dogs… And dogs are smarter than people.
I love German precision.
I just got an email from HR warning me that I have 0 (zero) days left of vacation remaining from 2025 and I must use them before they expire in a couple of months.
…
Uh… okay? I’ll take them all tomorrow and I guess still coming to work. ![]()
Try to get -1 for instant retirement. (2^31 days off)
I laughed! ![]()
ROFLMAO, I never thought I’d do it but last December I got two of them. One for my PC and one for my son’s.
Honestly pretty useful stuff.
hahaha
that thing remember me like 25 years ago that i need to put a cable to suspend the tip of the graphic card to not fall/bend.
