A close friend of mine owns an RPD. That is a fun gun to shoot!

AM, those Fillipinos wouldn't be the Far East Construction Company would it?

NDD is right. It is the Philippines. The right shoulder patch is the Philippine Army patch. What I can't tell from the left shoulder patch is which Scout Ranger Battalion it may be. It looks like the 74th INF BN, which used to be 1st Scout Ranger Battalion, but for all I know, all Scout Ranger patches look the same.

I decided to take our mascot out on a vehicle patrol.

Never mess with an A-Team mascot!

We were told by the instructors to eat a good breakfast because...it would make this particular procedure easier.
