Locked & Loaded Magazine Special Edition: The Rescue Vixens

THE RESCUE VIXENS

People are tired of magazines that have ads, sales pitches, and bogus “fillers” to eat up space. They want a magazine that is free, easy to access, and totally focused on badass pictures and content. They want a magazine produced and written by the people and for the people. They want the chance to share their passion and to be heard. It is our absolute pleasure to meet these standards and to give you Locked & Loaded Magazine. We hope that you enjoy our content and if you don’t… tough shit. This magazine is not for the faint of heart! - Daniel & Kaitlyn Ramey, Editors-In-Chief

TALKING WITH TJ

As we begin our journey into the descent of madness that is my mind and the crazy antics of my life, I would like to first introduce myself. My name is TJ, blah blah blah, that sums it up and all you need to know. Whew… got past the CRAP no one cares about! Now for the good stuff.

Mustang culture is one that is very unique and brings together people from all walks of life. One thing is for sure though, the STANG Mag crew isn’t your typical crew. We are a bunch of weirdos, oddballs, and out casts. We party hard and live by our ride or die motto and have adventures like no other. From partying in various spots all over the U.S., to touring some of America’s most haunted sites, to having my ass spanked by a beautiful Latina in Las Vegas in front of a restaurant packed full of guests (and owning it), it’s never a dull moment! All I can say is... strap in, rev the shit out of your motor, and let’s go!

BATTLESHIP NEW JERSEY

One of the coolest events of the year is the annual STANG Magazine and Locked and Loaded Battleship Bash. For the past couple of years, we have been going to the USS New Jersey, in Camden, New Jersey. The USS New Jersey has a long history protecting America, which dates all the way back to December 7, 1942, when the ship was officially launched. The USS New Jersey is an Iowa-class battleship. The Iowa-class battleship was a class out of six classes of fast battleships, which was ordered by the U.S. Navy between 1939 and 1940. These battleships were designed to intercept fast capital ships (which are typically larger leading ships, which are heavily armored and have larger caliber guns, which are considered the most important ships of a navy) and also capable of serving in a traditional battle alongside slower battleships acting as its fast wing.

What makes the USS New Jersey so special is that the ship has earned the most battle stars for combat actions compared to the other three Iowa-class ships. The battleship earned a Navy Unit Commendation for service in Vietnam and 19 battle and campaign stars for combat operations during World War II, the Korean War, the Vietnam War, the Lebanese Civil War, and service in the Persian Gulf. The USS New Jersey supported the assault on Iwo-Jima by screening the Essex group in air attacks on the island on February 19-21, 1945. USS New Jersey also screened

the Essex group right after Iwo-Jima to attack Tokyo aircraft production sites, then Okinawa. USS New Jersey was directly engaged in the taking over of Okinawa from March 14 until April 16, by fighting off air raids, used her seaplanes to rescue downed pilots, defend carriers from suicide planes, while shooting down at least three and assisting in the destruction of others. Prior to the invasion of the Okinawa beach, the USS New Jersey carried out heavy bombardments of the Okinawa beaches to prepare for the invasion. The USS New Jersey was the only US battleship providing gunfire

BATTLESHIP NEW JERSEY

support during the Vietnam War. On November 25, 1968, the battleship launched its most destructive bombardment against Vietcong near Quảng Ngãi, destroying 182 structures and 54 bunkers, inflicting heavy damage to 93 structures, and demolishing several tunnel complexes.

The USS New Jersey’s main battery consisted of nine 16”.50 caliber Mark 7 guns in three, three-gun turrets, which could fire 2,700-pound (1,225 kg) armor-piercing shells some 23 miles (42.6 km). The secondary battery consisted of twenty 5”.38 caliber guns mounted in twin-gun dual purpose (DP) turrets, which could hit targets up to 9 miles (16.7 km) away. With the rise of air power, battleships needed to gain and maintain air superiority in order to protect the growing fleet of allied aircraft carriers, which lead the USS New Jersey to be fitted with an array of Oerlikon 20 mm and Bofors 40 mm anti-aircraft guns. When reactivated in 1968,

the USS New Jersey had the 20 mm and 40 mm AA guns removed and was tailored for use as a heavy bombardment ship. When reactivated in 1982, the USS New Jersey had four twin 5”.38 caliber DP mounts removed and was given four Phalanx Close-In Weapon System (CIWS) mounts for protection against missiles and aircraft, and eight Armored Box Launchers and eight Quad Cell Launchers designed to fire Tomahawk missiles and Harpoon missiles.

USS New Jersey was decommissioned for the last time in 1991 and spent the remaining years in the navy reserve fleet or mothball fleet, after serving a total of 21 years in the active fleet. In 2001, the battleship was donated to the Home Port Alliance, in Camden, New Jersey, where the battleship is held on display for tours.

Pretty cool history huh? This battleship has played an integral part in our nation’s history and I am glad to

be a part of the annual battleship bash were proceeds go to continue restoration and preservation of this living piece of history. This year was a special event for us, since we did a WWII rockabilly theme. Many of our Veterans dressed up in their old military uniforms and non-Veterans dressed in WWII military style costumes, bringing back history and making it memorable for people who attended the battleship that day. Now me, I am not a Veteran. I am plus sized and I couldn’t find a military costume, so I did the next best thing.

Every Navy guy in our group loves the movie Down Periscope. If you have seen the movie, then you know the infamous pirate scene where they threw the Executive Officer Marty Pascal overboard for mutiny. So, I dressed up as a pirate in honor of our Navy Vets’ favorite movie. Now unfortunately, my costume went over many peoples’ heads, and instead it became why in the hell is TJ dressed as a pirate to a battleship? Well,

you know what, I don’t care, you know why? Because I got to go be on a battleship dressed as a pirate!! ARRRRGGGGG. Who else can say that!!! Most importantly, my costume made a Veteran battleship employee who drives the golf cart around the battleship smile, as every time he passed me, he would laugh and scream AAARRRGGG!! Kids also loved the costume and made comments as they passed by me. That is what it’s all about. Why we do what we do. It not just about us, but the impact we have on others. If my lame ass pirate costume made one person smile then, I say that it was a successful day! Don’t ever be afraid to step out of your comfort zone, be bold, and stand out. Fair winds and following seas.

NOSE BLEED TIGER LILY

Tiger Lily is the walk on the wild side Vixen. She’s a feisty, fiery female blazing the trail of excitement. Full of energy, wit, and dancing feet she puts the wild in wilderness. She’s an outdoor kinda gal off roading in her Jeep at the beach. She has a soft spot for furry friends and is the hot mama of three rescued cats. This tiger doesn’t enter a room and purr, she’s enters a room and roars!

Nose Bleed is a 1972 Nova. Being the typical motor head back in the 70s pulling motors in the front yard under a tree, the owner was always wrenching and tinkering. Owning a few cars back in the day, they wished they still had today including a 1968 Mustang. A few years back after retiring, the owner decided

they would get into a Pro Street car, as they always liked the look and stance of those cars. They looked for over a year before they found what they were looking for. They were going to build a car but at the current age, it would never get it finished to enjoy it.

This 1972 Nova has a 358 CI motor, top of the line internals, 4-speed, 671 blower and a 373 rear. The owner bought the car to enjoy and has been having a blast with it ever since.
