[Boatanchors] [ARC5] (OT) Another marine radio on the ham bands

[SGS 126]

Sometimes people clean things up, most people alive don’t know there was ever an Army Air Corp so it’s easier to say I was in the Air Force.  i was in the Marines and I get tired of explaining soldiers and Marines, which is higher a Colonel or a Sergeant, etc.
