Ha ha ha! ROFL!

I refuse to believe it.

Someone please explain this for the civilians...

The High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle, HMMWV, Humvee, Hummer, doesn't have a keyed ignition, just a rotating switch.

Exactly!
We do have keys for some vehicles, but they are usually for a pad lock on a chain that secures the steering wheel.
HC here was doing to privates what we have all done and will do into the distant future.
Go get me some...see if I can remember asome of them...
Muzzle blast
Flight line
Rotor wash
Squelch oil
Emery sparks
Track tension
Frequency filters
Tracer powder (To load every 5th bullet)
A case of head space and timing
Lug nut torque
Flight level (For the attitude indicator, if it was sitting crooked on the preflight, which it does when not powered up)
Stuff like that

That's too funny! I think almost every industry has their share of similar items...."hey new guy....go get me a left handed screwdriver" and the like.
But this actually made me think of a decent antitheft device....especially for vehicles with pushbutton starts. Mount something like that front and center on the dash labeled well...and move the push button to a totally out of the way/non noticeable area (maybe a switch with a totally different label?)

A box of Grid squares
Some ba1100n's
A prc-E7
A jar of blinker fluid
Testing the armor for soft spots with a small ballpen hammer and a piece of chalk

How about that thing where you bet them they can't eat the crackers in an MRE in a certain amount of time without a drink?
-
Hey private, go tell Top we have a "prick E7" that's ate the f' up and we need a new one!

WHAT.....no CD player!?

If you tuned that to certain frequencies, you could get some tv stations programing.

The PRC-77 (Pronounced "prick" 77...really) was (Still around??) the standard squad radio set for the Army. Mounted in vehicles, or in a back pack arrangement, they exist by the tens of thousands I would think...Pretty basic stuff, operating on the FM frequencies. I believe the Normans who invaded Britain in the 10th century used them as well...
-
Those operate on "public" airwaves, and would they be a desirable addition to ones acquisitions for SHTF ?

No
Take a big bulky battery which is mil only.
-
not only do they take a huge battery and are not efficient at all, the ground kits (plugging them in the wall) are enormous and very loud. they are also very easy to track the location of those without crypto because they run on 1 frequency instead of ......................I just need to stop and not say anymore, sorry.

So you're saying they're larger than a flip phone? won't fit in your pocket? Takes a Honda 3000 gen to power up?
Oh, I understand......not practical. :)
-
And let's not forget the 1/2" holes
And the metric crescent wrench
-
Wait... wait. What if we were wrong all along and there really was a keyed ignition and the green tab WAS the key?!?

stop making sense bobby, you know that is not the military way!
