1st Earth Battalion Field Manual

The manual was made to be all encompassing of the activities going on in California and Hawaii from 1975-1982. Allowing the Department of Defense to extinguish the idea of warfare using supernatural powers. The DOD sent LTC Jim Channon to investigate anything to do with alternative human potential, martial arts, and ancient Eastern philosophies. Like anything, take what you can from this manual. We realize that carrying lambs to your enemies is not the best idea. Regardless, here are his findings.

Skydiving Review Sheet

Traveling With A Parachute

The Airport security may not load your rig if you check it, so pay attention to airport announcements after check-in. If you take your chute as carry on, at least you are in control of it. Either way, arrive 30 minutes earlier than normal to deal with complications.

Pack your rig so that it fits easily in the overhead compartment. Tie the reserve handle with the chest strap or a brightly colored pull cord. Place the hook knife in your checked luggage. Make sure the AAD is turned off. Carry copies of the web pages regarding travel with parachutes from both the TSA and USPA sites and a one page letter prepared by TSA regarding parachute rigs.

Stay with your chute as it passes through the x-ray machine, and be prepared to explain the components that show up in the x-ray. Carry a pull-up cord and spare stow bands in case your rig needs to be unpacked and inspected. If you are having problems with the TSA screeners, request for a supervisor to review the "parachute screening section of the Screening Checkpoint Standard Operating Procedure."

Airline documents, including x-rays of an AAD-equipped rig, can be found under the downloads section of the AAD manufacturers' website:

• Airtec Cypres 2 (if you can read German)
• Advanced Aerospace Designs Vigil II
• Aviacom Argus

Traveling With Firearms

No firearms, magazines, or ammunition is allowed in your carry-on luggage (surprise, surprise). Firearms should be locked in a hard case, and declared at check-in. Ammunition should be checked in separate luggage as specified in the TSA's memorandum. Good luck at your next match, and let those rounds fly!

Weapons Painting 101

On 1 April 2010, TACOM Life Cycle Management Command issued the Maintenance Information Message MI 10-040 "Camouflaging Specific Small Arms" stating that, given command approval, soldiers are permitted to camouflage the M4/M16 weapon systems with paint. Presented here are PM Soldier Weapons crib notes for those soldiers who have the green light to dress out their weapons with paint to reduce their visual signature on the battlefield.

Here are some additional tips: If you are going to match the upper and lower, detail strip (remove every pin, spring, screw, etc.) If you are going to camo, you can paint the whole thing, but it is best if the base coat is done to a detail-stripped rifle. Then start by prepping the surface with an aerosol degreaser and gently rub the entire surface with 0000 steel wool to knock anything loose free. If, when you are done, you see any more than a slight amount of burnishing, you did more than you needed to. Give it a final cleaning with the degreaser. Warm the part with a hair dryer or heat gun set on low, and begin painting.

Anyone venturing into an uninhabited and potentially hostile area should carry a survival pack.
