Yeah....you should talk to your sub LT. Of course they have important missions, and he'd know it. A lot of their stuff they can't talk about.

Also....isn't it hot as hell down there??? No thank you.

That pretty much sums up FL's law, as I understand it. I'm not really up on the specifics for CA. I've read a law summmary once since moving here, and I don't think you are required to "retreat" in your own home, but I'm not positive. The problem is the civil suit that could result from a...

I am referring to a civil suit, the families of the burglars filing a claim against the homeowners. Some castle doctrine laws specifically protect people from this, I believe Florida does.

Hopefully they don't get some asinine suit filed against them. Hopefully the castle doctrine in Texas protects them from losing everything for defending themselves.

I love how he answered his own question in the first paragraph, classic.

My wife and I have used LaQuintas in various parts of the country. Not all are pet friendly, however. I ran into that specifically in SD. Make sure you call the hotel ahead of time, but in general LaQuinta is pet friendly. Other hotels will allow them, just have to call and ask.

Gasp, but she is going to marry the father?!?!?!?! How horribly traditional and family oriented, freakin' knuckledragging right..... (sarcasm implied) I guess the media had to come up w/ something to write about!

Man, this is a pretty loaded question, but I'll give it a shot! In the Marines, you are a rifleman first. Further, if you want to fly, you need to be an officer (Navy and Marines). First of all, in the Marines you will need to go to The Basic School first to learn how to be a platoon...

I agree that we should stay away from the racists stuff, black vs. white is just stupid. Wright is a nutjob, no question. Just counter Obama on every issue, I'd rather win on issues. I don't want this country be run by socialists.....

Wow, you cited a BLOG. Again, go back to your hole. HOPE for some more CHANGE without boring the rest of us.

That brings up another interesting point. What will a unit do with a scholarship student that is honestly struggling in an Engineering major? Let them fail and kick them out, or let them switch to a more appropriate major? I switched from engineer to poli sci as a freshman, and probably...

Hehe, maybe we should have bought some more Hotels!!! HS love, while it's still possible!

How could you only be allowed 1 DLA payment when you could be making more than 1 PCS move in a fiscal year? Doesn't make sense....

Uhhh she ousted the the previous governer who was ALSO a republican. Hardly a "good ole boy" move. Go back to your hole.

Thanks for the input. If the stock is beat up, I could pick up a new one....even the paratrooper stock! Well, can't get that one until I'm out of CA.

I just sent my order form into CMP this morning, hopefully I'll get my Service Grade M1 Carbine soon! Any other carbine owners out there? A general question for all you CMP buyers, do all their rifles come covered in cosmoline? Their website did not really specify. I remember seing...

"They want to make me an astronaut? Oh, I hope not..." Great scene, when men were men.

I was reading the Chicago Libune this morning, and this guy didn't seem thrilled: http://newsblogs.chicagotribune.com/steve_chapman/2008/08/mccains-inexcus.html He digs her because of her lack of foreign policy experience. That totally misses the boat! What is worse, a VP candidate w/ no...

I appreciate the fact that this anti-war demonstrator understands the rights he has, and appreciates those who provide those rights. It's tough to shake off some of the things he suggested in the Vietnam era.

Dude, you are out of your element. I'd love to see you make that "TBS isn't a good fiscal choice" arguement to a Marine. Donny,please.

Thats what I was trying to avoid! ....and everyone knows the flight school rumors are legit:D

I think Bud's Gun Shop www.budsgunshop.com maybe be closer to a grand on the basic M1A. I don't think I've ever seen them for under a grand, but Bud's has the best price I've seen. I don't actively look for M1A/M14s though.

And you know this how? If your CO/NROTC Staff put that info out, I understand. Don't go freaking anyone out unless you have a solid source, other middies don't count.

Let me ammed, ea6b got in before I did, listen to his info before mine!

My process was somewhat confusing, so take it for what it's worth. I was always under the impression that you had to have the waiver before you could select for SNA. I had PRK during Christmas break of my Junior year so I could have time to heal etc. I had my commissioning/flight physical...

That is some interesting news. i dont think I've met anybody that got lower than their 2nd choice...unless they weren't medically qualified or had the appropriate credentials. That sucks for whoever gets their 5th choice.....

Never knew this was possible. If gun shops offered/knew to do this...they could probably get some more business. All the hassle has completely turned me off to buying in CA, especially when CMP is a possibility. mmmmmm Carbine!

That doesn't exactly inspire confidence!

It's still an incorrect statement. What is supposed to be in the fleet in 2012, and who told you it won't be until 2020? Donny, please.

I think this could go either way and is dependant on the state. In CA you could be a non-CA resident and buy here, but you have to have military orders placing you in CA. I don't think you can buy a long gun w/o being a res or in the military...ive tried working with the system. However, when...

I think it is this that makes shops uncomfortable selling to military if they don't have an state ID. Apparently the laws in CA changed recently to allow military to buy w/ military ID and Orders. A Big 5 clerk actually joked w/ me and said until recently it was easier for an illegial alien to...

It is also an issue of the store covering it's own @ss, probably because they don't understand the law. I've run into a similar situation. I PCSed to San Diego about 2 months ago, but I've remained a FL resident since I'll be going back there in a few months. Anyways, I was thinking about...

And I love it when someone things their gun is better or more reliable just because it's more expensive:D Had to do it! HK are exceedingly pricey, but it should boil down to personal preference. I'll stick w/ the block G19 for now.

Bingo, I think that's the movie he is referring too. I havent seen it since 8th grade....

Maybe ConAir was a real representation!

The few times I've gone to their site they have been selling the Greek stuff, never caught another kind. Thanks for pointing that out. There are a couple of other good surplus ammo sellers online, but ODCMP definitely has the edge when it comes to 30-06. I really need to speed up this rifle...

Ya, thats the M2 Greek Ball, I believe. My buddy has a few Spam cans of the stuff. Looked to be in rough shape, but ran like a top. I was wondering where you could find the American-made stuff from WW II/Korea.

Seriously, what about all you HSC bubbas that are on the LHA/LHD? I thought they had the plane guard job as well.

Great, where is it sold???

I love it when you're out of your element.

BOTH on the list:D

Count it:D:icon_wink

I'm sober, therefore I don't want to talk about the Stabilator on my aircraft. That said...maybe I'll pay attention to the stab's indicator during autos tomorrow....

Wow, the techno talk really took the fun out of the thread.

....arrest drift.....cushion landing???

You sound like a pretty solid candidate. It's nice to see solid grades and athletic ability, being the captain of the team is also fantastic. Have you filled out an application or conducted any interviews yet? I can't speak as to whether or not your father's service helps the application...

If PRK is not an option....definitely go NFO over SWO. Compare this forum to sailorbob.com........you will see the light. The NFO's I know are having a blast, the SWOs I know....are not. If I had to pick NFO vs. SWO, NFO without hesistation.

My thoughts exactly, I went and looked at his previous posts, and I sense troll. He even made a comment that the Navy needed a navalized F/A-22......riiiiighhhhhttt. @Hacker and vick, thanks for your input. Its great to have a discussion about Navy vs. AF, especially with bubbas like you...

That is a real possibility. I love the historical aspects of it. The only downside I see is having to reload when the Greek Milsurp runs out, unless new ammo surfaces. I also have a thing for the M1 Carbine:D A Mosin Nagant and SKS are aslo in the running.
