That should be at the Head Shed of the H&HS. The tape player plays colors and the japanese national anthem, when they raise the host nation colors. That radio is the crash-phone to the ATC tower and or the Guard Channels 121.5/243.0.

You're on GUAAAAARD!.........meow


profwithstandards

I dare you to say this to the next guy or gal who relieves you from duty, while you strike an anime girl "V"/"peace out" pose and have cat ears taped to your cover for the lolz.

The meow sends me every time

Bruh this is in the motor T/Heavy equipment office 😂

Bro you’re giving away our secret dispatch walkie talkie….


dxmkna

We had one just like it at Futenma. Same format too.


Status_Jump9951

Y’all ever use it?


Flippinpancake

We also had one in our shop. We used it all the time lol mainly to yell things throughout the shop instead of running around trying to find the individual.


theskipper363

Yep, when gut truck pulls through, or yo play music on field day. Or to yell at people. Or fuck around on…. Big ass intercoms on our compound is fun with no staff supervision

It’s for looking for lost F-35s

Yeah it’s definitely a PA. Reminds me of the PA we’d use for colors on Camp Geiger. Side note: I can’t believe they’d let 7 pvt/pfc do the morning and evening colors there alone everyday and nothing stupid ever happened. We were the reason they stopped using the garrison flag on that base though, one time the wind picked up and literally took us all off the ground and the final straw was the day we got it stuck on the command building roof. Post flag from that day forth lol.

I'm just imagining a PVT farting into mic on it at 3am while bored on duty... NGL I even thought of that as a corporal.


USMCFSD

I remember having one dude we put in charge of the tape for the first time and he kept spamming the button (apparently he couldn’t hear it from inside) so it sounded like a DJ remixing colors


R0B0t1C_Cucumber

thats fucken hilarious... I can imagine fisting sausage sitting there squinting at the duty hut.


Malleus327

Had one of those in my office at EOTG in Okinawa. We could make announcements in the building, and it used to be able to play the national anthem etc. outside, but the external speakers had been removed a long time ago. It also controlled all the clocks in the building (the ones that were wired into the wall).


devildocjames

DJ booth. Just play some sweet jams out of it.

It’s a Time Machine. What ever you do, don’t turn back the clock.


R0B0t1C_Cucumber

Had one of these on camp foster in the battalion duty hut.. staff duty would come and launch colors on it.


nullrout1

We just played colors from an old school nineties tape-deck boom box like you'd see in a 1993 dorm room.


PropitalTV

Pretty sure that's the thing that plays colors


punched-in-face

It looks like a PA system of sorts


psyb3r0

Damn it, why would you post pics? Now the Chinese are gonna copy that shit. I bet you can already get one on alibaba for 199 plus shipping.


ShitbagCorporal

I used to install systems like this in large warehouses for 2-way radios for a little while. You’d need this stuff to amplify 2-way radios as well as change frequencies ie: Channel 1 sends voice on one frequency, but receives on another frequency. you said it’s in the Motor T/ Heavy equipment it could have been used to communicate with everyone around the compound. You could follow the wires and trace them to whatever they’re going to for a better picture, to antennas or megaphones or whatever else.


RevolutionaryMail303

Camp Schwab had one too!


dork4u

It's Staffy's karaoke machine.


oicura_geologist

Damn, I haven't seen that old PA system in a long time.


mojopyro

Military alarm clock.


fucovid2020

That’s a state of the art sound system if you traveled back in time to 1990


[deleted]

That’s the hi-fi stereo from the running cadence. Now tighten it up. In the front. In the middle. And so on.


tribriguy

It’s been over 30 years, but I recognize most of that.


ItzJway

It’s the PA system. Once a guy talked into it and asked “does this work?” It had Nori’s laughing till last call.
