Throwback Thursday: Float Tapes - Part 1
This is the first part of a "Throwback Thursday" series titled "Float Tapes." The creator, Kit Badger, recounts his experience as a young Sergeant and squad leader in the US Marine Corps in August 2001. He was preparing for a Westpac deployment with the 15th MEU SOC, originally planned to go to Djibouti for training. However, events of September 11th changed these plans. The creator intended to document his deployment with a Sony HandyCam, capturing approximately 19 hours of footage over six months. The "Float Tapes," 19 in total, were lost for about 18 years before being rediscovered. This video marks the beginning of sharing the story of that deployment, starting with the last night in the barracks at Camp Horno. Specific gear mentioned includes the Outdoor Research Floodlight Down Jacket and the Prometheus Design Werx A.G. Watch Cap.
