Normally that's a problem, but I couldn't find my phone. I still have no idea where it is.

Oh, totally not the kind of cougar I was thinking of....

Oh man.... I gotta hide my laptop when I get drunk! But, uh, HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! I'm already well into my New Years hangover.

Sweet party, drunk as ;getout!:#!! Fuck yeah! Gonna go pass out now.! Good arty!

great film. Why can't we have films that effective now adays? It got the point across, with humor and with a dose of reality. It didn't feel condescending or demeaning, unlike nearly every piece of crap training video I've seen in the Navy.

Boy, those CIA guys sure think of unique avenues to get info. Clever!

Man, I miss all the good fun!

I'm not an ejection seat guy, I've gotta ride it in no matter what (or bail out...), but this guy seemed to have all his sh!t in one sock. He was cool and calm - though you could tell his stress level was building as he was coming into land, i'd like to have seen his heart rate. He wanted to...

What is this, "sea-going" thing you speak of? :icon_tong

HEY! Big girls need love too. :weeping_1 I like to think of her as more of a Couger than old... I guess with the per diem, it kinda IS like dating a Couger!

No problem there, I'll just buy a few on the road - less commitment that way. :D

If you were to deploy to a place with high per diem for the entire six months, say, Bahrain, you'd be pulling in $124/day, for 180 days that'd be $22,320. That's a lot of green - but you're going to spend a lot of money there. I've never been there (currently P-3s don't deploy to Bahrain), so...

Okay, gotta take issue with this. You guys fly sexy planes, chicks did those. You tell a chick that you fly Patrol planes and they look at you like you have an arm growing outta your ass. Now if you follow that up with, "Wana take a spin in my Jag?" they leap into your lap. So, it isn't...

Okay, now I gotta call BS on this one. How can you choke someone with a whiz wheel? I suppose if you rammed it down their throat, that might do the trick. But when I imagine choking someone, I think of the external approach, you know, with your hands, or rope, or whatever you tie Red's mom up...

I'd love to see her in the P-3 IUT when the "student" FE goes for the wrong E-handle. Rather than merely knocking his hand away before he gets it (hopefully), she'll kick him in freakin' head. Cool.

What about carrying a weapon openly - such as a shotgun in bear country? I was under the impression you couldn't do that either. Though, realistically, you're more likely to need a pistol against a person than a shotgun against a bear. Unless you're on Admiralty Island or Kodiak.

And we're freakin' dangerous. Don't mess with us. As the bible says, the red will inherit the earth!

Not gonna lie, that is pretty neat.

HA! Guess who gets the hard fills...the guys who busted their asses but may not have played the game well...

It is a start. The more Muslim clerics who actively denounce this sort of thing in their churches, the better. I find it intersting that Hamas declined to comment. Interesting quote: Muslims and Arabs must confront the violence "that is taking place in our name and in the name of our...

What A4s said... My opinion was purely based on my own belief that it could have been worse. I've kicked around the idea of this kind of attack in one of my grad school classes - and I honestly thought that it would have been worse, especially in a place like India (high population density...

HAL OFF THE TOP ROPE! Holy crap I about pissed myself at your post man! I gotta sign up for that board...

I'm not a fan of the religion (and honestly, not a huge fan of most organized religion). What Muhammad built is not what you see today. Just as Christianity has changed over the years, so has Islam but I believe for the worse. This is not to say that probably the vast majority of Muslims...

I have a glock 22 (.40cal) and it would be very difficult to do what he did if you exercised even a tiny bit of firearms skill! Unless your finger is on the trigger, it's really hard to make a glock go off. There is no exposed hammer to somehow trip. If you let the slide ride forward with...

I musta missed that. That's a funny statement really. Because if the poster had learned anything about Mohamed he'd know that Mohamed was originally a peacemaker! He was a very good person who really got different sides to sit down together and has things out in a peaceful way. Didn't...

As much as I love my bag, I certainly wouldn't mind having a two piece outfit - would make doing the duce so much easier.

Brett, when did you get all pious? :) I don't feel I was "bashing" the religion, so much as pointing out its failings. Yes, you could certainly do that with ANY religion, but in particular I believe this one's failings to have world-wide implications - TODAY, not 70 years ago, and not 70...

'noter evil gun... I hope that guy got fired. Pretty bad form! I'm not entirely sure how he did it. He'd have had to pull the trigger after releasing the slide...why would you do that? Pretty basic stuff to screw up on.

Proof that guns hurt people! The police chief never meant to shoot himself, but the evil gun had other plans! How much more proof do you right wing nutters need that guns are evil?

Bastid! you beat me to it. Gangster: "...it's an 88 Magnum." Danny Vermin: "It shoots through schools."

Yup, we act like children. Happens far to frequently. Not the same though, not at all. And yes, I understand that if you live in an authoritarian country that you may not be able to protest against the acts committed in your faith's name. However, there are millions of muslims who could...

Sigh... Brett, do you HAVE to come stir the pot? Can't you just urinate on a guy's lawn and call it good? :D

Good point, the ISLAMIC governments certainly don't do much to help the situation. Yes, not all of them are bad, some are quite good - Jordan. Again though, it boils down to my basic premise that - Islam is a violent and irresponsible religion - TODAY, and they need to grow up. Not all...

Yup, many of them are... sticking to those OLD OLD Islamic "values". If only there were some country out there, that was an example to the rest of the world of how to be. You know, not a perfect country, far from it, but one where millions of people actively try to go for a chance at a...

Good comparison - the US of 70 years ago was backwards in many ways, equal rights was one of them. But being a secular government, not allowing any religion to dictate the terms of how we view other religions or peoples, means that we have a fair (mostly) government. Now, take a modern Islamic...

This is a very poor comparison. Why should the average American, or ANY American prevent the organization of a group that believes in white power, or any other kind of power? Believing in white power is perfectly legal - so long as you don't say...lynch anyone. If you want to get together...

So I'm clueless about Islam because I'm unwilling to defend the religion as a whole because of the acts of a relative few? I disagree. Islam, as practiced by millions and millions of people is just f'ing backwards. I am sorry if I'm being ethnocentric here, but there is just too much BS...

They claimed it, they're known - nobody else has claimed it. Yes, religion can be a crutch, a tool that evil people can use to warp the weak minded to do their bidding. But, when a group (such as a religion) as a whole does not stand up to the massive use of its name in violence, then they...

The group that claimed responsibility was the Deccan Mujahedeen, a muslim group. Yes, they have had violence from other groups, notably Hindi. You don't see, on a world wide scale, the suffering caused in the name of other religions like you do suffering caused in the name of Islam. In the...

I don't see why people have a hard time buying the, "we're a peaceful religion" line... I'm sure they have a very good reason for targeting civilians for slaughter. I mean look at all those recent mass terror attacks by Christian groups...oh wait...

Do PhDs make people dumber?

The only knife I'll ever need. Never without it.

We use something akin to the Norden bomb sight in the P-3. Similar, but a lot less advanced.

Sometimes a government must do things to ensure the safety of its people that cannot tolerate the light of day.

This begs the question of what he was REALLY doing to go blind...

i rocked moboards in OCS, but I totally agree with A4s. If you can do it, fine, whatever. The guy who's likely to be best at moboards on a ship is going to be a SWO, and, well, he can have it. I'd rather be getting crew rest than doing moboards.

That is really fantastic work. I second the above - you could get paid for this. Think you'd ever do one of the mighty War Pig (P-3 Orion)? I'd consider buying that!

I think i've taken off with that little before. If you think that taking off with 29K of gas is exciting, try taking off with 60K in the hot place after setting power in the brakes. Now that is...kinda dull.

Go to the JROTC program in Milton (or try Pcola) they lent me five swords for my wedding in Pcola. I don't remember the POC there, but they are easy to get ahold of. All they asked in return is that I speak to some of the kids should the opportunity arise.

Be thankful of those small blessings. Now, if i could just get that P and a NOB this time, i'd be SO far ahead :icon_tong
