    Vehicle purchase on deployment?

    On my Harley I saved about $3k from what the dealer was selling them for. The high end bikes certainly will save you a lot more $$$. I bought a 2001 XLC 1200. You can get the bike set up anyway HD would normally do it if you bought from a dealer. Also get an extended warranty as part of the...

    Vehicle purchase on deployment?

    I bought a HD and Chevy from the overseas car sales the NEX offers when you are deployed. They were both a good deal. It helps if your really hate haggling with dealers, too.

    Navy can and will do it. Happens for a lot of mids at USNA. Navy covered mine. I had a bad bite on one side. As I was on shore duty for 3 years, I got a consult from a navy orthodontist. The consult indicated they were needed for other than cosmetic reasons. So they agreed to do it. Navy...

    They didn't ban CD-RWs. They can be written to over and over again. May be a temporary band-aid fix.

    Glock 36 vs. P220 Compact

    The ported .40 cal recoils a lot less. sort of chugs in your hand when you shoot. Muzzle flash vs port flash...no real difference to me when I have a Surefire Torch in the other hand. G23 C shoots well for a .40 cal.

    The Great Flight Jacket Thread (wearing/buying Leather, NOMEX, WEP jackets/patches)

    As an old retired guy I wear my green nomex jacket with my nametag (wings), topgun and tomcat patches anywhere I want. Wore it on veteran's day in DTA. Didn't hear a peep. Then again, I'm retired and can tell someone to go pound sand as the jacket has no rank on it. I also have one of the new...

    Glock 36 vs. P220 Compact

    Nope, it's a G23C in .40 cal, same size as a G19, more punch.

    Glock 36 vs. P220 Compact

    It's okay. As a long time Glock shooter, the DA/SA takes some getting used to for me. It's sort of a safe queen now. The white print on my G19 is just white ink rubbed over the letters to make them stand out. Although it is an older G19. Picked it up in 1990. I really lean towards my...

    Glock 36 vs. P220 Compact

    Difference in grip thickness between the Glock and Sig pictured is noticeable. The LDA is a single stack and pretty slim, but hold it tight when shooting it. Glock is the lightest. If you have large hands the Sig will work well for you.
