Please, for the love of God, don't go Marine Infantry. Your attitude is shit. You don't know an abbreviation? Take some initiative and look it up. I have been in the military for some time now, and I still come across abbreviations I don't know. Use your nerd-hacking-l33t speaking...

Ssssssshhhh...exnay on the asgay. The science behind many environmentalists claims seems pretty spurious. I think it's best to adopt the approach loggers use: Smile and nod, and just move the cuts to the far side of the ridge, where you can't see them from the highway.

Yeah, should have been a nuclear engine mechanic or something. From what I understand you would get automatic promotion to E-9 out of MOS school and automatically selected for the STA-21 program.

Why does it seem like Marines have a shiatty QOL IOT maintain combat ready equipment... ...While the AF pays to maintain a super QOL, then needs more funding to maintain combat ready equipment? (Edit: That isn't supposed to be a cutting sarcastic quip, that really is sort of a...

Someone mentioned it earlier, but AFN commercials can teach you everything you need to know. ...ok this doesn't pertain to anything. ......or possibly not saluting? I'm still confused on this one. Edit: Found it, this one is the best:

Also, I think that if many of the more experienced, more knowledgeable, older and wiser members of AW didn't have a steady supply of new posters to berate and harass, they would probably get bored. And that one guy who always shows up in EVERY thread and answers EVERY question with "USE THE...

Wasn't joyboy "that guy" like a year ago? Naw, I'm just kidding, I stopped reading after sinusoidal influx.

I, for one, welcome our new robot overlords.

Yeah, because all those older and wiser protesters certainly have made informed and legitimate political decisions. Protesters are all giant douches, regardless of age. Protesting tyranny by dumping crates of tea off a ship is one thing, protesting a war around the world which has had...

You know who else was part of the solution?

Blah, pacifists are the worst kind of people. They want to enjoy the benefits of the violence done on their behalf to secure their personal freedoms... ...but they try to take the moral high ground and decry those who secured them those freedoms in the first place.

No impact, No idea, hard charger. OCS is much different w/ the billets. Billets are assigned on a 2 or 3 day basis so everyone will have something. The guide isn't even that important of a billet at OCS. If you were to "take over" someone else's billet you would be f'ing them in the A...

Why yes...yes you do play games.

Haha, thanks for the video. Nice seeing some upstanding young men pushing and shoving through the sea of worthless aging hipsters IOT get in.

Here's the rub though Quagmire: I am a white guy, but your story is pretty similar to mine. Low income single parent household, lived in 6 different places growing up (all in crappy neighborhoods), went to inner city school w/ the highest drop out rate and all that other stuff. Except no-one...

LOL...good one. Yeah, my diverse campus (which I PAY to increase the diversity of my "learning experience") really enhances my thought process. That 1.6% black population really has made a difference in my "diversity [insert buzzword]." Because white, black, hispanic, and asian people are so...

Blah, college campuses are the least diverse places I have ever been in my life, "ethnically," socially, and economically. Glad my tuition pays for an "office of diversity..." BTW, the people who REALLY get screwed IMO are the poor white kids who go to the inner city schools and grow up in...

But Master, many years ago people who looked similar to you did some terrible things. Therefore, regardless of when your family moved to America, what they have done or not done here, and your families economic standing, you are over-privileged and the world has been handed to you on a silver...

Again, Quagmire, the economy is self-regulating. I read an article a few days ago that made a point to make me stop and ponder. If women make 75% of what men make, then businesses would be insane not to hire them. Hiring employees at 75 cents on the dollar would give you a huge advantage in...

Quagmire: It doesn't matter who benefits from it, the point they are making is that it erodes personal freedoms by not allowing business owners to hire as they see fit for their business. Edit: Being a racist, sexist, whatever-ist, is certainly unsavory - but it is not illegal. But the...

Spekkio, you talk as if $150,000 is borderline poverty, because you can't find a two story house in your area for under $350.

Protesters are awesome anyway. I wonder if anyone in the history of the world has seen a protester holding a sign and thought "Whoa...I'm all wrong on this topic, that catchy phrase has shown me the error of my rationally thought out position on this subject." I like em because yelling "Get a...

This. I do agree with you though, I think that things based solely on skin color lead to more racially motivated thinking, not less.

Affirmative action in the late 60's was a little different than affirmative action today, no? -- Dem's don't fight for the poor anymore than Republicans. Welfare is just a means to appease the poor to protect the rich. LBJ implemented his "war on poverty" at a time when real poverty was...

How enlightening those open minded individuals are. Came to post that quote about Marines defending their right to free speech, which they are in turn exercising, but someone beat me to it.

For some reason the black community seems to ostracize prominent conservative blacks. -- Quagmire: The Democratic party has a LONG history of being the party of racists. They killed black Republicans in the 1890's, they put KKK members in the Supreme Court (Hugo Black?), they rejected...

It was a little different then when the population recognized that those planes were going off to kill and maim people and break stuff. Also, CNN didn't have a "man on the inside" to film a plane landing, then run a story at 11 about the dangers of pin-up nose art.

Just thought I would point out that everyone keeps saying "McCain will get the moderate Republican and independent vote" but he will also get a portion of the Democrat vote as well. Just like moderate Democrats like Joseph Lieberman or Zell Miller would be able to draw a percentage of the...

How about a research topic on "Internet Forum Use as a Means of Disseminating Information on Research Topics"

Or you could have a little g-2 and Make your own "OCONUS Packet" then when talking to someone higher up you can sound halfway intelligent as you expound upon the minimal terrorist threat and maximal bikini content of your intended destination. (I am only inferring what an "OCONUS Packet" is...

Bah, we all know you guys just turn on autopilot, get a cup of coffee, and take a nap anyway :)

Yeah, but I think after $600 of porn I'd be so blind I'd lose my flight contract.

I just can't decide which industry needs my help more - the snowboarding industry, the scuba diving industry, or the gun industry...

Did you catch the exclusive Tony Romo response?

Well played.

That's not just YOUR CIF. That's every CIF.

There was also a lengthy discussion about it on AirWarriors

WTF...what is left to gaff off then? Can we still gaff off field day? That is where I personally draw the line.

A better approach to lifting would be something like: M-Back Tu-Chest We-Legs Th-Arms F-Shoulders Sat/Sun-Rest You build strength/muscle in your recovery stage, so you need to maximize the time spent resting muscle groups. Crossfit is the best though. Big muscles are not all that functional...

At this point I'm so confused and annoyed at having read these ridiculous examples that I would like to find some scalding hot coffee and douse myself with it - of course I would first read the clearly printed warning that the coffee was in fact as hot as I felt it was while holding it.

A guy is driving around the back woods of Tennessee and he sees a sign in front of a broken down shanty-style house: "Talking Dog for Sale." He rings the bell and the owner appears and tells him the dog is in the backyard. The guy goes into the back yard and sees a nice looking Labrador...

Wow, the price is really inflating for stripped lowers, I think I bought mine for $70-80 at a gun show last spring.

Hacker: Build it. It is much much cheaper and you can get exactly what you want. The empty lower (ie: just a hunk of metal) is what is considered the fiearm. So you buy that, do all the background checks, etc..., then everything else on the weapon is considered "parts" and you can order...

Yeah, but now that I left places like Yuma and am in a college town, that kinda cougar hunting just isn't the same :)

First time I went cougar hunting, me and a buddy sat out for about 45 minutes using a deer in distress call. Nothing. We went out back to this little logging trail we were following and found some little cougar/big bobcat tracks. I followed the tracks and he had stalked around us about 150...

Haha, I played "hide and seek" with my buddy twice and he couldn't find me either time, I approached both hides from away from him so he couldn't use tracks. The one where he is right next to me was when I went back out to the road, and I just wanted a closeup view of how it looked so I could...

Thought I would throw in a few of a ghillie suit I made over the winter as well. I made it for predator/duck/bow hunting. (Yeah...I WAS this bored...) This was the "trial run" for that suit, so it still stands out quite a bit, especially in the snow. The flash on the camera makes the scope...

I built this over the summer from a finished lower. 6.8mm Kotonics bolt and barrel MAGPUL PRS Stock YHM Lightweight Forearm Leupold VX-II 3-9x50 Scope LaRue Scope Mount

Well now whenever I get a cup of coffee, it states something along the lines of "Caution: Beverage Hot" so I feel pretty safe now.
