Correct me if I am wrong, but if I purchase a firearm online, the online seller ships the weapon to a licensed firearm dealer in your area, who then performs the requisite background checks (for a small fee) before releasing the weapon to the purchaser. Therefore the "anyone could be buying...

Ahhh...the infamous "this recruit don't know" defense, maybe he should enlist and go to bootcamp - because that's the last time that was an acceptable answer for me... Edit: If a 2 year old jumped off a bridge, would Obama? -- Looks like Hillary might win New Hampshire. McCain is already...

I love how everyone uses anecdotal evidence as if that applies to everyone... Creatine is not harmful, and it doesn't directly impact your cardio (I have read studies to the contrary which say it helps it). I ran a marathon taking the stuff every day. Another misconception is that people who...

It is more of a black and silver, the only yellow or gold you can see on it as you wear it is the stopwatch hand. (That picture makes the yellow stand out way more than it really does) I bought this thinking I was getting a "good deal" because it was duty free in the Carribean, then I priced...

What do you guys think of this one: Seiko Flight Chronograph

I dunno...Hillary probably makes for an easy GOP win in the end, IMHO.

http://www.cnn.com/ Most people who have followed it probably saw this coming. Now we will see how much traction Iowa has.

"Did you order the code red?" "YOUR GODDAMN RIGHT I DID!" That movie taught me everything I know...

At: 01-01-2008, 01:36 AM Most people wait at least a day or two to break their resolutions...

That was pretty damn good. That is pretty much like watching the purple-hats try and taxi anything in the pits, only they aren't trying to be funny...

Since we are on the subject of Hitler, he didn't just use "guns" to enact his will over most of Europe, he also favored strict gun control on his own citizens. Stalin too...funny... Pol Pot and Chairman Mao too...hmmm...

You seem pretty concerned about rep points Quagmire...as well you should be! Rumor has it that whoever has the most when it's all said and done becomes the official king of the internet and will gain the special ability to not receive penis enlargement e-mails.

Haven't you noticed that the times of best prosperity are when the government is divided between parties? Democrats and Republicans are both retarded and if they were to carry out what they want it probably wouldn't work nearly as well as they (we) think it would. The best bet is to have a...

But if we could only ban all firearms there would be no violent crime...

I took a crap earlier which gave me time to think. I think the Marine team would win. It would consist of: 8 - PFCs and LCpls to row 1 - Sgt to steer 1 - SNCO to sneak around the AF/Navy dock and "acquire" a better boat 1 - Lt to go to a staff meeting and hit the gym ;)

Give him one!

What a good website, seemed pretty much non-partisan and is a good "logical" way to pick someone based on only the issues. Even though it said I should vote for Fred Thompson, I am voting for Hillary - because hey, we had a Bush, then a Clinton, then a Bush, it's time for another Clinton.

Navy vs. Air Force The Navy and the Air Force decided to have a canoe race on the Potomac River. Both teams practiced hard and long to reach their peak performance before the race. On the big day, the Navy won by a mile. Afterwards, the Air Force team became very discouraged and depressed. The...

I think choosing a candidate just because of their views on the military is short sighted. It's a total picture thing and sometimes what's best for you personally isn't best for the country. Something I think the majority of voters have forgotten.

I think this is reactionary as well. Just because someone is crazy doesn't mean they have anything documented anywhere to prevent them from legally purchasing a firearm. I think a better "reactionary" measure would have been to abolish gun-free zones and hope that a fellow student was...

I honestly think that there is some sort of need for Russian people to have an overly authoritarian government. Like it has been institutionalized or something. Putin is a little sneakier, but the "White Russians" have Lukashenko (since 1994) as their "elected" President. That guy is so...

And as joyboy reincarnated puts the yungins in their place, the circle of lif--airwarriors is complete.

Didn't know I needed to reference my posts. I got that anecdote from "Cobra II" page 263. They referenced it as coming from "Interviews, Colonel Terry Ferrell."

How accurate is the helmet control on the 20mm? Can you "eyeball" targets, or do you just put the x-hairs in the general location w/ the helmet track and manually fine tune it in? Edit: That is kind of a random question...

Those are seats for the crewchief

This floored me...definitely illustrates the difference in mentality. In the Marine Corps many people feel that the infantryman is the main effort - and everyone who isn't is support. Maybe in the Cold War Era it was different, but it strikes me that nowadays the boots on the ground are the...

Luckily I go to school everyday in a "gun free zone" so I know I am safe and secure.

35. Spent an hour trying to think of a funny reply to the "You might be an AW regular if..." thread.

DocT: Those are the wings from the second question, the ones I showed I think are the one for the first question.

Dunno if this is a cogent point, but there are volunteer firefighters just about everywhere. If that is your primary reason for not applying for other schools you might have a better chance of getting into, then I would say you might be limiting yourself unnecessarily. Another option I would...

Where they these? This is the only thing I could think of based on that description.

Probably telling them your e-buddies are going to boycott the place won't get you much traction...

When is an 8 letter word a 4 letter word? (Bonus points for Navy and Marine Corps answers)

Phrog, I can't watch your cat for you anymore...sorry...

It is pretty straightforward, do the military thing until you are done, get out, apply for a job w/ Dept of State. If you want to be an Ambassador you can be a political appointee or "rise from the ranks." If you have a lot of military background, you might prefer something like DSS...

Yeah, that was terrible... I had to watch this to get the sting out of my eyeballs.

I would bet most priors don't even have a good grasp of this. I was randomly (from my point of view) assigned a job as a flightline mechanic for AH-1/UH-1's when I enlisted. Every idea I have about every airframe/community out there is based entirely on the few people I met from each community...

Harriers might be fun, but come on...Yuma... This might be dumb: But how many people started out wanting X, wanted X the whole time through flight school, and finally got what they started out wanting?

Reading from your bio, didn't you go to OCS the summer after you finished your MOS school? No offense, but it seems like you are exactly what you are preaching against, only with about 4 or so months of extra training...

With all due respect, I don't see how tough demanding PT and leadership billets are failing to make me (and the others I work with) well rounded.

PLC: You are a regular civilian until you graduate college and commission. You would attend two six week sessions of OCS for 2 summers -or- you would attend one 10 week session of OCS (PLC-Combined) OCC: You are a regular civilian until you graduate college, then you would go to 10 week OCS...

There is no best, each one has pros and cons. If I had to do it again, I wouldn't change a thing...but I also got picked up on a relative longshot (MECEP). BTW, I wouldn't make a decision based solely one what is "easiest" and what lets you party the most in college. NROTC has me on...

Alright, here is the correct answers to your questions based on MILPERSMAN 1220-010 Enlisted Aircrew http://buperscd.technology.navy.mil/bup_updt/508/milpers/1220-010.htm b. Age. Thirty years or less at time of enlistment or reenlistment. Waivers for Regular Navy fleet volunteers...

Not to be an asshole or anything...but if you don't know what you are talking how about not posting? Someone who actually knows something about the question can probably answer. Here is a good means to gauge the situation: If you find yourself typing "i think" and it isn't because you are...

I would contend that Rights are only guaranteed by, at the most basic level, violence or the threat of violence. If Rights are given by either a)God, or b)"our existence as human beings" then how do you justify the fact the concept of "individual rights" is rather Western (Dare I say...

Seether - "Out of my way" If you haven't been to OCS lately, stand by to watch it 50 times.

I know America is the greatest country in the world, and we, as Americans are far superior to everyone else...but most other countries have bi-lingual signs all over the place. /sarcasm off The case for demanding English first be taught in schools is fine. Crying because you might...

In the Marine Corps you can enlist with a guaranteed aircrewman option. You need to meet the prerequisite swimming skills, I cannot speak for the clearance issues though.

I hope these aren't dumb questions, but, would these be considered "career killing moves?" In other words, can you have a diverse background with plenty of flying and non-flying billets and still avoid retiring as a Captain? Are you screwing over other Marines if you wind up needing to...
