M1 Garand Black & White Marksmanship Poster

A picture is worth a thousand words! This poster is absolutely stunning! Basically put, all Garand shooting positions are both illustrated and explained in depth. There is additionally a full explanation for use of the leather and web "Hasty Sling". This poster is on my office wall - it's that good!

"A Careless Word...A Needless Sinking"

"A Careless Word...A Needless Sinking" U.S. Merchant Marine Tanker WWII Poster



Having graduated from USMMA, this has quite a bit of meaning to me. A number of merchant seamen I sailed with in the 1970s had sailed in WWII. Go to: http://www.nicolausassociates.com/Patriotic.htm to see this poster and many others.

US Marine Corps Course of Instruction in U.S. Carbine, Cal. .30, M1 (1945)

This 30 page technical manual was produced as a "Course of Instruction" at US Marine Corps Schools, Quantico, Virginia in 1945. The course was set up for half a day. The first hour covered the Disassembly and Assembly of the M1 Carbine. The second hour of instruction dealt with the care, cleaning, and functioning of the M1 Carbine. The third hour of instruction covered operation, safety, stoppages, and immediate corrective action to be taken by the operator of the M1 Carbine. Finally, the fourth hour dealt with spare parts, accessories, and ammunition. This is designed as a basic overview of the M1 Carbine.


The manual consisted of several numbered plates illustrating various operations of the carbine itself.

Virus Scanner & Malicious Software Removal Tool!

This is a change of pace from my normal posts, but too many people are not running antivirus software - therefore making computer stores rich removing preventable virus infections!
  
The below two computer software scanners are free common sense computer software security checks everyone needs to use about once a month. Norton offers a free virus scanner and Microsoft downloads a free Malicious Software removal tool every month. The problem? You actually have to initiate running these two tools! Here's how!
   
VIRUS SCANNER: Free online Norton Virus Scanner (this program detects viruses your antivirus program may have missed). Go to: http://security.symantec.com/sscv6/home.asp?langid=ie&venid=sym&plfid=21&pkj=NVEOESLHFEPGEVVSDUX. Click "START" button under the Virus Detection logo.
   
MALICIOUS SOFTWARE REMOVAL TOOL: Free Microsoft Malicious Software Removal Tool (MRT): Click "START" button, then "RUN", type in "MRT" (no quotes), click "OK". Click "NEXT", then "QUICK SCAN". Review the results.
  
I recommend you run both of these tools once a month - no matter what type of antivirus or security suite you use.
