Oh, that's right, we must have a military full of individuals who relinquish their thought process and personal opinions and convictions for the say of one man. That turned out great every time in the past! So I should not question those in command when something does not appear as right and...

It may sound futile in some minds, but do understand that I have not lost it or flipped over someone's list of pictures that they ranked by their own opinion. I have used words that portray my thoughts, but in no way have been bent out of shape or had them affect me more than enough to give a...

What I believe Herc meant by that was that title/position does not give you any personal respect. Respect for the title/position/rank comes from your own title/position/rank, not personal. Sound about right Herc? His degree of mental ability is not in debate at this time, but we can all take a...

His position demands respect from my position, but he has shown nothing that is deserving of my personal respect for him, and he has actually proven the opposite from my personal opinion.

I am disgusted by several of the "top" pictures, not just his. I do not agree with his policies, promised and the few completed. His race was not an issue brought up by myself, nor was his position as the current President. But in regards to the title he currently holds, we at my level do not...

Subtlety is not what I do, as IRfly realizes. As for better than anyone else? No, simply another peon in this game that is expendable, yet still has the ability to think and know when something's fucked up. What I meant by my disgust was not for the mere fact that I do not agree with his...

I am disgusted by the first several, save a couple, and most especially what has been claimed as the number one picture. Absofuckinlutely disgusting. Number 39 is the one that has the most behind it, a true picture of a thousand words, plus feelings, emotions, convictions, and realization of...

Are you effin kidding me? Are we going backwards? What is it with these idiots in position to make decisions not knowing their history? I remember discussing this with A4's a while back, became a good discussion. Effin ridiculous. The MG3 is based off the MG42, the M240 is not. The 240 is...

Any chance of changing mine to Slug? Since I tossed my OCS packet and am now a ground pounder.

Here's somethin that aint boring, Boot Camp Graduation this morning.

How does a FTF bypassing all the commiefornia BS sound to you?

You bring up good points A4s. But you were comparing the BAR and M1919 to the enemy's SMGs. Yes, the increase in range and penetrating ability of the 7.62NATO would be nice in a support weapon, which is why we have the GPMG, the M240. But for a SAW weapon, the suggested replacements listed...

Who's bright idea is it to replace the M249 with a mag only capable weapon? If they want to go with a line of all Ar modular weapons systems (M4, M16, Sr15, Sr25) then why not work on the SHRIKE? Sure, the mag fed select fire BAR was great and fully capable of the squad support role at the...

Some help with rumor control? Isn't the Army looking to use MutliCam as its secondary(probably turned primary) uniform to the ACU's? I thought the digital design was originally in R&D by the US Army, they couldn't make it work. Then the Canadians took it and made it work for exactly what they...

Jsf-35 I have heard near to nothing from any channels for quite some time about this aircraft. Lately, from news channels and military reviews from outside of the United States, they have seemed to have lost faith in this aircraft. Making one wonder why the media blackout of the aircraft...

How would you free up the wing space for armament? That's a lot of area to leave out. What about a combination of the Harrier's thrust nozzle system? Each engine then has a main rear nozzle and a pair of the Harrier's type on them as well, leaving three ways to adjust. It would be too much...

Speaking of concepts, I would like to see if a slimmed down attack version of the V-22 would be plausible. Jet engines instead of props, tandem pilot arrangement. I know that the -22s already scorch the grass when in idle, so jet engines could cause some serious problems everywhere, if left in...

Thanks for the extra info HJ. And yes, not much confidence in the Army's ability to get new things working like they should. I'm surprised their Land Warrior program is still going on. That looks completely ridiculous and as though the whole system was put together without a single input from...

The Army seems to be making a habit out of canceling high dollar projects and programs. Commanche, Crusader, this, and others.

http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/europe/article4888286.ece Takes on this? I've heard nothing through MSM or elsewhere, seeing that something like this would be big news.

It's been free for army personnel for a while. About time the Marines got it.

Dude, that advice comes AFTER the presentation of pics. :icon_tong

Is that an Sr-25 you're carrying?

Don't forget about the French Foreign Legion and willingness to fight and the history to prove it.

^ SgtMaj Brad Kasal. Talked about a bit on another thread.

NOO!! I just saw the new Navy commercial that had nothing but unmanned vehicles in it, aerial, submersibles, and surface vehicles. With "unmanning the front lines" at the end. Damnit.

Never underestimate the capabilities of a very bored individual with a laptop. :icon_tong

You definitely have a superb eye for photography. Please, keep the pics coming.

I found that picture of the AH-1Z and UH-1Y on marines.mil. Excellent shot. Would you mind if I used it as my desktop?

Didn't catch that. Nice job Heyjoe.

Silver Star awarded, second of its kind. I thought about putting this in the War Zone, and if any mod feels it should be transfered, feel free, but it is news. Army Pfc Monica Brown earned the Silver Star for her actions last month. Article below and links at bottom. Not meant as a...

Hahaha! Under their hunting photos, this guy who took a buffalo looks like he got scoped!

M14? no. But there are many M1A's you can grab. For a standard M1A, the common price is around 2 grand.

Sr-25M/Mk.11Mod.0 or M40A3 or M14 national match with EBR stock.

A couple years ago when working construction, we had some incomplete asbuilt drawings that had conduits and pipes not even shown. We ripped up the fiber optics for half the school district in one swipe of the bucket. Good thing it was during the summer. I'm not sure if they brought in guys...

ouch. I feel sorry for the kids. I would love to have that Nighthawk custom 1911 though.

They're gonna get your guns :eek: :icon_tong

Had to search through another gun forum where I saw it earlier, but this was the only link I could find about it. http://www.lonewolfdist.com/Products.aspx?CAT=242

I didn't think that's what some here were expecting, but yall also have to consider yall's relationship verses her career. Just playing devils advocate.

Go Marines and all your loans will disappear upon commissioning. Problem solved. Well, unless you don't graduate OCS.

Send him to the gallows or a firing squad. Educate me, is this being dealt with by the civilian world assisted by the Marine Corps, or dealt with through the Military assisted by the civilian world?

You can only become so tolerant before you throw efficiency out the window. As for the gays, as long as they keep it to themselves and don't act on it while in service, or at least in uniform, fine. An old Navy guy once told me about silent overboards when one became too open about their...

Just a bit of humor.

Hopefully they use their BWB design for the new bomber.

Copy that. I guess the Navy guys out-number the Marines here, just trying to pull in more Marine pics.

From the green side of the house. Words don't even begin to compare.

Paging Brett!

Sometimes I get bored with all the ammo lying around. :icon_tong

Too big to fit here, but a great one of a Phrog. Edit: Now this one is quite cool. It is just the angle, or do the rotors cant outwards a bit? Any help sizing these down to fit in the thread? Thanks.
