So you are saying that a professionally prepared and signed pre-nump is a bad idea? Great advice. :confused: The overwhelming majority of divorces don't have property divided by the court. The final distribution of assets is almost always handled between the parties, often with each side...

My advice (aka, shit I fucked up when I was an ensign): Don't get married until you know for sure that your relationship can handle the stress of deployments. You won't know until you do at least one. Don't marry anyone that is going to be financially dependant on you while you are away...

Except for when they ASK to be told to fuck off. Right? That is a notable exception.

For after-Navy revenue streams, aviators have the airlines, SEALs have Barnes and Noble.

I've been on no-cost TAD at least a dozen times both for work related and family related issues. When my son was critically ill, my squadron sent me from San Diego to Memphis (where my son's hospital was) on 180 day no-cost TAD orders. 180 days is the maximum you can be sent no-cost somewhere...

So, the dude with herp got all flared up and had a premature emotional discharge?

You quoted the wrong post. This is the one you need to read: Nobody was "belittleing" you kid. Hold off on the application until you crack that code. You acknowledged that your..um...condition has a stigma to it. Don't act all shocked and shit when people who aren't your doctor crack a...

Read for content Brett. jarhead asked to be told to fuck off, I obliged him. If the level of "douche baggery towards civilians" is to much for him to take (which consisted of a guy posting a picture of a bee on his head, among other "lighten up and take a joke" suggestions) is to much, then...

And here come the PC police. Anyone that asks the original question should expect some level of humor directed directly at them AND be able to take it. This goes double for someone who thinks they have the sack (even with a little rash) to strap on an aircraft and fly into combat. Navy...

Gotta be Lubbock. They don't call it "Raider Rash" for nothin.

Keep the blood pressure down dude. You don't want to have a flare up.

It is an old picture.

I bought one back in 2009ish, and I love the thing. I went with Springfield's "Loaded Standard" which has all of the match features (2 stage trigger, heavier barrel, etc) except for the glass bedded stock. You have to get their National Match version for that. I added an ARMS#18 scope mount...

There is a lot of my own childhood in that article. I grew up in South Texas and at least 4-5 times a week would run out of my living room to watch one of the jets from Beeville or Kingsville scream overhead. Even if it was just a crop-duster, I was that kid out in the yard waving up to the...

For what PCS orders cost these days, they would probably leave you there for an extra year as long as you let them know what you would like to do up front. More than anything, the detailers need to be able to plan ahead. Not having to take action on your billet is probably just one less set of...

I have continued swapping texts with our young nuke, and it seems that he has turned the corner. He has found an instructor to take him under his wing and the 1-on-1 tutoring is paying off. His grades are coming up, and he is about to have his mando study hours reduced.

It was an M-1A, not a Garand.

I spoke to the young lad for half an hour last night. He has a GREAT attitude and is very motivated for success. I will admit that it was just a little bit weird, because it was like talking to a 19 year old version of myself from back in 1997. Straight A high school student, varsity...

That's good news. The fiscal year that I was there, NNPS had 240 suicide attempts with an average student body around 2000. You had about a 30% chance of graduating and about 12% chance of trying to kill yourself before you left. My section in power school started with 35, graduated 7, had 15...

cj62, Your son is where I was in 1997. I had walked into the recruiter's office saying that "I want to join the Navy." When asked what I wanted to do, I replied "What is the best you have?" I bought the recruiter's line about how the "best of the best" go into the nuke program. After hearing...

Gross. Dude on dude lap dances are generally frowned upon.

I don't know about call signs, but I'll honor Brian with a few Haiku. Light on in garage shot! Bitch, please. Small flesh wound. Texas home, Garage Alamo Fuck Santa Ana Gut shot! Ow! Ugly neighbors, no driver's liscense. It's pretty funny that the comments on your story are all about...

As a general statment and for wardrobe planning purposes: Per DoDI 1300.15 (google it, and go to chapter 4.7 if you want the specifics), there are no military funeral honors when someone has committed a capital crime. I would expect that only one of these funerals will be a military ceremony...

My father is a petroleum engineer and recently was working on a rig in south Texas and one of the workers was talking about a gun that he had for sale that he didn't even know what it was. He just said it was "old". Dad is always interested in a new old rifle, and said he was interested. The...

I was at that Wal-Mart in West Memphis just a few hours before the shoot out between the "soverign citizens" and the police went down. I was returning from a trip, and had my AR and M-14 in the truck and had stopped for an ammo re-supply. Those guys had AK's and knew how to use them. The...

My services are not needed. I'm going to the gym. That's good news.

but if you know something that the Casualty Operations Officer should know lickety-split his e-mail is nathan.kaspar@navy.mil we can be a lot more helpful if we know what is going on.

I wrote all of my representatives in DC about this issue yesterday, and recieved the following from Senator KBH, Dear Friend: Thank you for contacting me regarding Project Gunrunner. I welcome your thoughts and comments. Project Gunrunner is a Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco and...

Only gotta kill 'em once.

Volume of fire is the big issue with this weapon. M-4's/M-16's are not intended to be operated as fully automatic machine guns for hundreds of rounds at a time, the M-249 SAW was intended for just that purpose. The piston action will keep less heat and fouling out of the action, so that will...

When you see the shitty way that this ATF operation was executed, the brazen political motives behind it, and the dishonest way the State Department interprets statistics, our "high ground" over Mexico on these issues gets a little shaky.

Another article on the subject. http://townhall.com/columnists/hughhewitt/2011/06/10/missing_the_news

Political correctness and ethnic sensitivity training. Be careful, it's a 198 slide .ppt and I keep getting sent back.

Most of you guys follow this gun stuff as close as I do, but the attention span for the public at large is not going to pick up on what has really gone on with our Executive Branch and firearm policy. I will not hold my breath on the mainstream media picking up on the depth and political...

There is nothing wrong with flying back to your hometown. Flying down main street of your home town at 50 feet and several hundred knots, that will get you in trouble. The conversation with a CO would probably go something like this: JO Pilot:"Hey Skipper, there is an airshow at X airport...

Dammit A4's, that cannon is already sold!!! Can't you find another?

For a physiologist, it's actually a career enhancing job. There aren't any line officers in that office.

It is my personal belief that the constant re-work of the PRT is due in large part to the fact that there are two O-4's in that office competing for a #1 EP fitrep. Whoever is assigned to PRT policy is not going to break out by just saying "looks good, no changes needed here". IMHO, the...

The Navy Times article is pretty well spot on. The Beta Test message came out at NPC a few weeks ago, and there is a big "test pool" coming out of the University of Memphis as well. We have all of those little gadgets (like the leg strength test) up in the office and I took a few of them for a...

The Navy PRP office is right next to mine, and I know the guy who is in charge of the changes. There are a lot of possible changes in the works, mostly for the better. These aren't tweaks, but wholesale changes. When Pete gets back from TAD, I'll see if I can get some specifics.

We could not get the FBI to arrest a guy who threatened to blow up my building and shoot whoever survived the explosion. Turns out that there is not a lot of interest in federal law enforcement in locking up crazy people. Their opinion is that unless they are a "credible threat" there is no...

Shirley, you are not calling me Francis!!!

Take a fucking joke people. Damn.

Mr. President? Is that you?

I got written counseling about a month ago for pointing out that a civilian was incompetent. She made 300,000 worth of errors in 2 months, caused 2 congressionals, and basically fucked up everything she got near for the past 3 years...all while everyone KNOWS she is incompetent. I made the...

I am glad that the Remington 700 in .338 Ultra Mag that my girlfriend's father sent me home with on Saturday is new. Anybody got a shoulder pad I can use. I hear these things kick like a mo-fo.

If you have a firm (but reasonable) price for a specific gun that you want, it has a way of finding you. A lot of money is made off people that don't know what guns are supposed to cost. You can just look at the mark-up at the gun counter at places like Bass-Pro vs a dedicated gun store. The...

I have not gotten a speeding ticket since I started carrying. It's almost like the cops know that you are the same team and give you credit for telling them what's up and making them feel safe.

And since this has not been circulated in while... Everyone with wings next to your username, please take copy of this to your admin shop and ensure that your duty office has a copy in his turnover. Your Squadron’s Casualty Binder I wrote this from a Senior Watch Officer perspective...

I love it. I just put it in the pocket of my cargo shorts and forget it is even there. The only problem is that since the weight is almost identical to my i-Phone, I have almost pulled a gun on a few people while trying to check out an incoming text message.
