Story by Mitchell Smith Hello everybody. Today I’m taking a look at the 2018 Bob Marley documentary “Who Shot the Sheriff” on Netflix.

Marley was born in 1945 in Nine Mile, Saint Ann Jamaica. I was fortunate enough to be able to visit Saint Ann back in 2017. We stayed at a resort but we did go out and…

Now these are two opposite ends of the spectrum as one deals with disabling explosives and the other is blowing things up. Typically the MOS responsible for blowing things up (demolitions) is the 12B Combat Engineer. Then we have the combat support MOS 89D Explosive Ordnance Disposal Specialist. Tripwire might have started out as a 12B then re-classed to a 89D as a simple explanation for his two…

Story by Mitchell Smith Welcome to the Outpost. Today I’m taking a look back at G.I. Joe in 2013 as a whole. I thought this was a nice bounce back on the figure end and although the vehicles were almost non existent we were still getting the run off from the past couple years from stores like Marshall’s, Ross, and Ollie’s. There was also that kinda cool Eaglehawk that was straight up re-birthed and renamed Tomahawk. I had the Tomahawk when I was a kid so I did not hesitate…
