Aren't these questions you should ask BEFORE you buy? Just food for thought... Regardless, they look like nice rifles. How much did you pay for them? They do seem a bit over-priced, as do most big-company AR-15s.

The standard apartments are Edgewater Isle in Hanford and College Park in Lemoore. Hanford is about a 30 minute drive. to the hangars. I will tell you, from having lived in both Hanford AND Lemoore, Hanford is much, much better in terms of quality of life, how nice the town is, etc.

Go to Meridian.

It's hard enough to balance air-to-air and air-to-ground, let alone the jamming mission. F-that.

Never seen anything like that in TACAIR. NATOPS is secondary and expected knowledge. It's not tested on flights, only on the yearly NATOPS sims and Instruments sims. Tactics are the name of the game. That being said, honestly, it's actually not a terrible idea.

You don't know what a travesty is. Four Winds is legit. Buy from him, they have excellent food products. Get a sandwich from the deli... AWESOME!

Congrats! Never sell it. Everyone I know that's sold their first gun, regrets it.

Cool, just trying to keep it sane. I'll have to check this guy out, sounds like he has a following.

Who is Blackfive and where is the article accredited to? There is a LOT of bad information going back and forth in this conflict.

Poor wording. Read it again. I think what they're saying there is that IF they base an ABM system there, if the US and Russians were to go to war and it went nuclear, Poland would be struck as there is a US system there. I don't think they're saying "Put that there and we'll attack."

Common misconception. The sea's don't have to be too "rough" for the boat to pitch like that. It's all about the frequency of the swells, due to the long moment arm of the ship.

Well, they used to fly our F-8s and they still fly our E-2s. I'm guessing they designed the Rafale to be compatible with US carriers.

I'm pretty sure Iraq nor the USA is going to let Israeli tankers into Iraqi airspace for their strike, not overtly anyway.

That's something our Navy hasn't dealt with in some time... a legitimate air attack on our ships.

Apples and oranges. Backpacking through Europe and returning to the USA after your vacation does not equate to packing up and moving your entire life to a foreign country.

You want her to come to Japan with you, but you don't want to marry her... time to have "that talk".

Rock Band = video game that uses electronic instruments to interact with the video game system.

Two words: Rock Band.

Blind Man's Bluff. Read it. Eye opening. Holy crap.

Well worth the $30 for the license. Read the gouge people have already posted. There is a list of approved firearms for the C&R license. The ATF determines what is a curio or relic, and it's extensive.

That's actually kind of funny, it's not too far off the concept of the actual music video for that song.

Too late. See: Iran.

I don't know why, but reading the post from Old R.O. made me think of a guy I worked with on a commuter boat when I was in college. When he found out I was NROTC, he told me he was a retired LCDR, and that he served on the battleships. He "loved the big diesels that drove that ship". I stopped...

My normal warmup is: 1. 2 minute Plank 2. 50-60 push-ups 3. 10 pull-ups 4. Stretch That tends to get the blood pumping from a cold start.

Unfortunately, facts don't matter to the media or the reaction of the people. Think about how ignorant most people in the world are about nuclear energy. They hear radiation or contamination or whatever, they panic. Hell, I bet most people's nuclear education in THIS country comes from the Simpsons.

Bad year for the Air Force.

There is a LOT more that went into the Cuban Missile Crisis than that... I suggest you do some more research. That was one of the few times that no-sh!t, we were almost at war with the Soviet Union.

It's actually 45 days... and they can waive that by the way... don't depend on it.

Waco and Ruby Ridge are some of the best examples of oppressive government. As more information came out after those episodes, it became very apparent that the government lied, decieved, and was very heavy handed in its execution. The fact that the FBI sniper who murdered, and yes he murdered...

THAT depends on what you're doing on cruise... while you may be doing something in the "great scheme of things", it's hard to feel like you have a purpose sometimes...

On some nights, I'd rather catch the 1 wire than go around...

I agree with Flash. While invasion of the homeland is not a bad argument per se, it's highly unlikely. The only thing close to an invasion we've seen for some time is along the Mexican border (see: Mexican Police and Military attacking farmers and Border Patrol). A better argument for the 2nd...

Iraq. He survived, despite multiple gunshot and shrapnel wounds. He had to defend himself for quite a while before rescued.

That's ok, you guys can pretend to be fighter guys all you want ;)

Pvssy ;) The 1891/30 isn't bad once you shoulder it correctly, but that M44 definitely barks. On "Big 5", decent selection of surplus rifles... but holy sh!tty ammo prices, Batman! I will NEVER, EVER buy ammo from them. EVER.

There is some scary sh!t out there, we'll leave it at that.

Ahem, we like to think of ourselves as little f, big A in the 2-seat Rhino community, thank you very much.

Holy. Sh1t. That's an awesome story Catmando. I would have sh1t myself after realizing the ship was getting ready to launch.

You know what sucks even more? Cruise, home for 3.5 months, cruise again. Is your airwing not on that great program?

I have a Mosin-Nagant 1891/30. I'm a fan of it, it's a rugged rifle, kicks like a mule, and is cheap to shoot. I bought it for about $80 with my C&R Type 03 FFL. For the price they're sold at, you can't go wrong buying one. Beware of corrosive surplus ammo, not a big deal really, just needs...

Well, on the Navy side, NFOs can become FAC(A)s and they can also become JTACs. I'm not sure about Marine NFOs.

And that's the thing, we need to start using the tactics the anti-gunners have been using. In other words, start chipping away at the stupid gun control laws piece by piece, just like they laid them in there. Their use of incremental gun control has been very effective... we can do the same with...

That actually has resulted in multiple legal battles. That is not a dead issue in any sense of the word, the Feds are not happy about CA's law.

A city in Illinois has already dropped its defacto ban on hanguns due to the Heller decision. It's already starting to do good work. It would be really nice to see it do some work in CA in regards to the ridiculous bans on certain weapons here, but we'll see.

There is an inherent "delay" in power response for a jet engine. There are a lot of variables: engine design, altitude, current power setting, and many others. At low altitude, where the air is thicker, power response is better. At higher power settings, engine response is also better. For...

Are you asking if there is a spool-up delay when you change power settings on a jet engine?

Ahh yes, that abortion of a law. Gotcha. I still would have found a US made AK flash suppressor ;) Nice wood on that AK though, looks pretty.

What he said. It's really not that hard, when the air is stable and all the appropriate lights, etc are working. Once you get the hang of it, it's really no different than day time... except it's dark. Unless you're on one of those British tankers over Iraq. Not only are their baskets very...

Why is there an M-16 style flash suppressor on that barrel? It looks goofy.

Not Kings County, or so says a deputy I asked.
