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...
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...
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.
You don't want to know what this has done to LLoyds Shipping insurance rates. Absolutely astronomical cost to go through that area and be insured with them now.
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...
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...
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.
Here's a comparison of 3 great carry guns for size.
Para Ord Carry LDA (.45) ...a heavy little gun in large caliber
Glock 19...lightweight reliable 9mm
Sig P229...heavy carry gun in .40 caliber
For a fraction of the ransom money....say $200,000...I'd be game to build a team and ride a ship over there heavily armed and take care of business if the skiff came calling.
Why aren't they arming the ships at least with private security dets? Can't cost that much and the ROI on a one time...
Work on the stuff in red, eliminate the number counting underlined...
I desire to become a Naval Officer for a few reasons. The first of these is to serve my country. I believe that there is nothing more honorable than serving one's country in the military. Having several family members who...
Are you freakin' kidding me??? Look where it got this guy...out of the NAV.
Do not send a letter or you'll look like a tool and never hear the end of it. This is aviation, not the pork-chop club.
Swinging the pendulum the other way.....
I taught a plebe who turned 17 in May and reported to USNA the next month on June 27th...The youngest plebe I've encountered.
After 9/11 occurred my carrier the John C. Stennis pulled into Coronado on Sept 22nd.
I met my wife and kids at a small cafe on Orange Ave. in Coronado for lunch with our two kids. I was in my wash khakis and flight jaclket.
We were back together as family after my being out on the boat for...
I tried a Canon IS $1200 pair in theater and they gave me a headache. I could see them adjusting to my movements when looking at long ranges. I didn't like them.
Nayone give them good reviews?
You need a both category.
NFCU - checking savings accounts, car loan, kid's accounts
USAA - mortgage, investments, insurance, credit card, savings account
Each has something to bring to the table.
Looks great. I like the smudges on the fuel tank caps.
You may also want to try ordie writing near the arming indicators below the cockpit.
"600 rds HEI" or similar...check out images at www.news.navy.mil for some ideas.
