Beau, a reader of TFB from way back when I first started the blog, took this photo recently of the first hot meal he had eaten in two days. The rifle on the right is his standard M4 with an ACOG optic. The green bag contains night vision goggles. Everything is sitting on a TQG (10 Kilowatt Tactical Quiet Generator). Beau is an US Army UAS (Unmanned Aircraft Systems) Shadow RQ-7B Maintainer. Thier RQ-7B is just outside the frame of this photo. He was careful to point out that his brother in the Air Force gave him that coffee cup.
