Q = mLf Heat = mass * Latent Heat of Fusion You would also want to incorporate Q = mc(Tf - Ti) to account for the cooling or warming of the ice and once again for the cooling/warming of the water. I may not be smart...but I can lift heavy things.

I agree that the Hawks outplayed the Steelers. But they had terrible clock management and they simply didn't capitalize on their forced turnovers. (That attachment I added to the post above really shows it well. The ball is maybe an inch or two behind the goal line, but you figure he is still...

Wow, your picture taken AFTER the play was over is really conclusive... This one shows it

A) The Roethlisberger TD wasn't miscalled: If any part of the ball crosses or touches the plane of the end zone, it's a TD. When he first dove the tip of the ball plainly hit the plane of the end zone. It was close, but it was in. Edit: To refute the picture above: When he landed his helmet...

Sweet. I have been waiting 11 years for this game. (Since 1995 Pitt. vs. Dallas) Go Stillers. Too bad I had to babysit a drunk and keep him from drowning in his own puke for the second half of the game.

Real men don't shave at all. How are you supposed to be grizzled without a manly beard? Think Stonewall used a Mach3? Forget about it!

MTV Cribs yall!! This is pure motivation: Basic Officer Training (B.O.T.) How come we don't get to play volleyball at our OCS?

A) The Marine Corps has WO1's B) I don't believe the Marine Corps has LDO's. C) To answer the original question in a simple way: Warrant Officers do jobs that require a) technical expertise and b) an officer. For example, an Admin Chief might be a WO because the billet requires an officer's...

Our Hueys had ashtrays in them from when smoking in flight wasn't a problem. I am gonna go out on a limb and bet that the UH-1Y probably won't have them though

IT'S A WALK OFF!

Advice from a current E: It may be awhile, but when the time comes: Listen to the Gunny. With all due respect, he has been around for awhile, and probably knows how to run shiat. Conversely: If your intuition says the gunny is a shiathead (and occasionally it happens) don't put up with his...

14 days are for homos. I'm all about 28 days - same great wash, but a little extra CC on top. Get your scrubbers out! Anyway, if you managed to clean all that crap off the tailboom, then you might see all the bucking rivets, and that would lead to "unscheduled maintenance." Ok I found some...

Yeah, some of them dont perfectly make sense (How does Sponge beat Air?) But then again, how does Paper beat Rock? I mean..."covering it"? lame. Rock would shred paper up. Anyway, this is eXtreme to the mAXXXXXXxxxx!!111 it is triple eXXXtreme!

I am guessing it is this.

Why do people always make the assumption that any sort of ground war with China will end in a massive bullet-sponge rush ala Korean War? China has been progressively increasing their STATED military spending budget by leaps and bounds, they have also decreased their military end-strength...

Don't have to apologize to me, I just thought maybe I was going crazy or something. GUNS: Glock 17's rule.

As for your barracks cover (garrison cover is the "piss cutter"), that is the only uniform item I own that I bought from the Marine Shop. It looks and fits much better than one assembled by yourself. Edit: IMO

wait...what? What war went from 1763 to 1775?

Didn't mean to imply that hunting had anything to do with it, merely to make the point that most Colonial Americans had firearms, and were at least semi-proficient in using them.

Re: Hitler & Gun Control http://www.guncite.com/gun_control_gcnazimyth.html Gun control, the Law on Firearms and Ammunition, was introduced to Germany in 1928 under the Weimar regime (there was no Right to Arms in the Constitution of 1919) in large part to disarm the nascent private armies...

Wow...tough livin' out in the burbs. For a guy who can't hold down a job he sure has a nice house/computer/boat. CS is for Pansies, Day of Defeat pwns!!

Overtorques a ***** in real life, but in the NATOPS it says 121 knots :D

The Huey can go 121 knots at sea level (KIAS) Semper Fi

It may not be much, but troops inside would be wearing body armor as well

ie: It is a commodity

Before it comes: HueyCobra you are obviously a Conservative hack and you just love the corporations who are all corporationy in their corporation buildings...screw you Ok, I beat you to it...I know what you were thinking...yeah...you.

Wow, say it ain't say...Congress not allowing a refinery to be built in 25 years, or Congress requiring oil to be shipped from Angola when it could be produced here MIGHT just have something to do with gas prices as well... The CEO of Chevron talks at a Senate hearing: Two ways to look at...

No, if you are not part of the hive-mind, then ALL Marines will hate you. Therefore, unless you drink, get tattoo's, drive a motorcycle and/or Mustang, and curse profusely, you will be a social outcast.

Wow, how did I miss this thread? HarrierMech hit it right on the head: They aren't looking for any one thing, it is a total package deal. I didn't know there was a word requirement for the essay either, I just covered everything they said to cover. LORs: I would guess these aren't a huge...

I thought the "USMC in front of your screen name" was awarded on top of the reaper... :D

Marines the world over typically have a good reputation. ROK Marines are also highly regarded, as are Thai Marines, as well as others.

I guess that attempt at a joke didn't transfer over the intarweb too well... Just assume it was funny and laugh. :)

Did this "friend" then put in a MECEP package?

How about this one: You only have to get your hair cut once per pay period (ie: Once every two weeks)

That + or - .2 miles thing is the Lance Corporal underground hard at work. Marine Corps PFT order:

The course should be exactly 3 miles. Whoever said it is 3.2 is probably misinformed, I would be surprised if a place like OCS would be violating the PFT order... Of course, I haven't ran the PFT there, so maybe I am wrong...

USAF Color Guard. Awesome bearing.

This is true...however, it doesn't mean that uniform items can't mean what we want them to mean. For example, the red stripe WAS issued prior to the Mexican-American War, however, that doesn't mean that the blood stripe of today can't represent the NCO's and Officers of that War. What is the...

Crowbar: I think the term 8-point cover came about when they started issuing boonies in bootcamp. My guess. As to why it has 8 points like that, that seems to me to be the equivalent of asking why the service alphas are green or why coroframs are shiny. Somewhere, sometime, someone decided...
