It's also plausible that his detention in Gitmo cemented his desire to instigate violence against Iraqi Forces. Kuwait cleared him of terrorism charges.

Didn't buck the trend tonight.

Stirring the pot some more http://www.nytimes.com/2008/04/30/sports/football/30army.html?_r=1&scp=1&sq=caleb+campbell&st=nyt&oref=slogin Read Campbell's quote on NFL being so cutthroat

Doesn't matter now that he's out, but why the hell is a commissioned officer questioning the war on national TV? Everyone has to consider what they are doing, sure. National TV is not your venue for doing so. Personal opinions are fine. Questioning your chain of command and the national...

Now when are we going to get a ramjet AAM like the Brits have?

Right on style, wrong on the content. He's got a point. You have to be Ken Burns to pull off a coherent 10-hour documentary. This guy is no Ken Burns. There's virtue in brevity.

The music overlays seemed like they were youtube-inspired. I liked the opening montage laid to The Killers, the others, not so much.

http://sports.espn.go.com/broadband/video/videopage?videoId=3361421&n8pe6c=1&categoryId=3060647 Wanted to get people's thoughts on this. Army is allowing their top athletic prospects to go directly to professional sports while recruiting in the off-season.

I have heard rumbling that they may stick around a bit longer than the F/A-18 since the latter's airframes are wearing out at a faster rate and may get first priority for the JSF.

He's mentioned in this update that he's just purchased GR3 as a parts backup.

I searched, I don't think it's a dupe. And I don't want to soil the jets make you poo thread.

Shit, I hope in four years they'll find better things to say about me than that I was a national merit scholar.

Almost certain it won't. MATSG is good for standing up for Marines and the CO has said the similar policy at Whiting will not apply to Marines headed up there.

IDPA, and i think USPA allow military and LEO to shoot from a duty holster, so that'd be the way I'd go.

If you have to separate straight men from gay men, wouldn't you also have to separate gay men from each other?

Love the commentary. As far as creepy, check out Children of the Secret State, shot undercover by a North Korean exile who snuck back into the country. http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=1875007335054132657

Anyone ever think of doing an empirical study (comparing logs or whatnot) and putting the "good idea" to rest?

So you justify excluding gays from service for want of a head. You could make that argument for females as well, why double the number of berthing and head facilities required? And that probably justifies keeping females out of submarines. But we've managed to find room for them pretty much...

And how is this any different from if they were straight and raped a female sailor? What does their sexuality have to do with it?

The Brits have had co-ed showers in Iraq, and seemed pretty surprised how uptight Americans were about it.

That's what they told me, and the lady I spoke with was quite helpful in looking up the program specifics and apologetic that I didn't qualify as an OCS grad.

There was one at one TBS company's Mess Night (Alpha 07?). Claimed his wife wanted him to buy it. Once word got out, he was required to wear it to Mess Night. Yeah, he was "that guy". I think he had the boatcloak too but don't quote me on that.

Shrug. 850 452 9460 x 3044 is to the MOC LT's office. They can tell you for certain. I don't expect them to be committal about anything unless there are extenuating circumstances.

I'm guessing you're a Marine LT. You don't contact IFS about leave (you won't get it during IFS anyway), you contact Marine Officer Control. If you're an Alpha Co Guy, you'll likely have a wait for IFS and it shouldn't be a problem getting leave in the interim.

That's what a second mag's for. If I have to use a third, I'm taking the BG's gun(s).

I'm guessing for the price they're P225's, not CPO certified. I have one, it's a good deal for the price but needs about $30 of work on the feed ramp for it to feed JHP's reliably, and magazines are no longer in production and starting to dry up in a bit.

Pictures would help man, I know you have a camera.

Hell, I can't remember what question I asked.

Their website says they've got an indoor one in Baker and an outdoor on in Panama City

Bay Minette's about 25 minutes from I-10, about 40-50 minutes to Mobile.

My 2 guns in 2 months will attest to that. I think he's talking about Styx River, which is about 20 min from the Blue Angel and I-10 (drove past it every day on the way to IFS). I shoot at Santa Rosa, if I stay here for primary I'll get a membership at ERML.

Sleek, not too cluttered, not too multimedia. Very nice.

Pfft, I don't want jets (for my first choice, that is).

Can I check out NATOPS before I check into Primary? I've got Smith's book, which is great.

No, no, I'm not thinking this'll help me with API. I'm just really curious about this stuff and don't have an engineering or aero background. What books would cover aerodynamics and engines/systems at a more advanced (i.e. not simplified for english majors) level? I'm not afraid of math (that...

From a CO's perspective, bussing you out at sunup and bringing you back at sundown is a perfectly practical system - you're on duty and your time's already paid for every 2 weeks from DFAS. If this were the civilian sector (and I were in charge), I'd have an a reimbursement system tied to how...

I've been contemplating a workable solution to present (you know, present a solution, not a problem, etc, etc) to IFS, but I can anticipate their reply: IFS is a place of duty, we will provide buses out at 0500 and back at 1700. I'm sure the schools would love to have a gaggle of O-1's hanging...

I was going to ask what season it was, but it's in the address - season 5.

Or for that matter gas stoves? Is it the hurricane risk or low water table or something like that that prevents them from putting in natural gas lines? Cooking on electric ranges is no fun.

It was in my OSO's checklist but to be honest I can't remember if they ever checked it. To be fair, I can't recall much from in-processing.

Marine OCS at in-processing requires a note from a dentist saying you're A-OK. Purpose being they won't have time to treat anything during OCS, so you'd better be good to go for 10 weeks.

Just out of curiosity, how often does this happen and how long does it last? I'll refrain from griping for now....I could still get Vance.

Well, I am already in a lease for a place right outside NASP; I had wanted to move closer if I got Whiting, but I may have to suffer with a 50 minute commute to live in my own place. :icon_rage
