And the top is never threaded to accept a threaded style truck. Well, here is the solution to your homemade flagpole problem. Light poles are a great deal compared to what a flagpole of that quality would cost. The investment in parts is well worth it.

Then one of my readers in uniform sent this correction: "First of all, they are posts, camps or garrisons but never bases. I am stationed at ---/---/--- of _______. We have two trucks on our post. Just thought you’d like to know.

My Response: >>lol. I love it. Thank you for the correction. Your thought is also correct that I very much want to know and to get it right. Please see our trucks page where this new information has been posted and forgive this civilian's lack of military experience. To us, the protected, you guys work on bases and have guns that shoot bullets. Plus when we send you mail, you have extremely unusual mailing addresses.<<
