We were talking about that in the BRAC thread. I'm for JAX. I could easily live in Oceana then Jax for my Navy career, that's fine with me :)

I have no idea the AF selection stats out of Primary, but Whiting has VT-3, which is a joint Navy/Air Force squadron, which is why it is a good deal for you to go there.

Airports without free food. (ok, this is mostly training command :))

Any organization with the words "Civil Liberties" in it is automatically suspect. ACLU anyone? Sounds real nice in a title, but they're usually a threat to actual civil liberties and freedoms.

That's just so funny. Everyone on the boomer I was on for CORTRAMID couldn't stand Crimson Tide and loved Red October. Then again, Red October didn't portray a boomer... well, a US one at least.

I'd be willing to bet they are already there and have been for a long time.

Are you saying Christians aren't speaking out against terrorism?

As Bruce Willis said in Die Hard: "Welcome to the party, pal!"

He's not dead. He's lucky.

Too little, too late. Still haven't seen any action. No interest. Many hate the USA. Take the Saudis for example. Now, muslims in this country certainly need to step up to the plate. Definitely agreed.

I've seen pictures. It was smaller than a hottub haha. http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1324768/posts

No kidding.

The real Typhoons had small pools on them. No sh!t.

Excuse me, nothing I say is speculation. It's pure fact. ;) And you are correct.

It's not a question of if, it's a question of when. Tell those that would kick your a$$ to grow up. Welcome to the real world. A blanket statement is "all Germans are Nazis". Not "the USA will be attacked again".

Got to love irrational people.

No, he's saying male flight attendants are gay.

Uh... ok. Thanks for posting... I think?

I could be wrong, but don't the rules of war require the enemy to be part of an organized military wearing a uniform of its nation? Doesn't sound like the guys we are fighting. If the United States was invaded and the citizens fought against the invaders independent of the military, they would...

Canadian Mounties do it too. One fluid motion of breaking leather to racking slide to on target. However, this is a technique that needs extensive training. Most people, even half-trained, will forget to do that and try to fire an empty firearm.

Yep, been through a couple of those places. When I go to a place, I like to visit the tourist areas AND the non tourist areas. It's like that in Key West. Key West is GREAT, but until you've ventured off Key West and into the other keys, you haven't seen crap. btw, my parents live in Hawaii...

Thanks for your reply. Was wondering if any Brits were on the forum. Welcome! I'm sorry for your nation's loss, truly, I love you Brits, even if your laws and culture are a bit whacky sometimes, but I will not tip-toe around a very real issue because it is hurtful. The United States WILL be...

INteresting, thanks for the tidbit. Nonetheless, talk about spin.

All too often it is young children and old women. And men in uniform (I've been searched THOROUGHLY in full uniform with authentic ID...). Oh, let's not forget confiscating plastic 2" long molds of guns from GI Joe because they "look like a gun". Common sense and use of the brain needs to show...

Interesting point about profiling. There has been an increasing call for it in this country. One of the louder voices is even a Democrat from NY! Unreal. I guess they're figuring out what Israel figured out a loooong time ago. You CAN, within reason, figure out who your suspects are. Funny...

What he meant was, those that hate us, already hate us. It's like those jackoffs who oppose killing the bad guys... because it will only make them hate us more. Wtf kind of logic is that?

Interesting tidbit about "half-cock". Take a look at a SIG when it is de-cocked. The hammer does not rest on the firing pin. Just an added safety measure. (for the unaware, it's impossible for a SIG to fire by slamming its hammer down. The trigger must be pulled.)

That's the kind of place that would get my business. After that transaction, they could have their prices slightly high, but so long as I still got great customer service, I'd continue giving them my money. It's far better than giving it to China... I mean Walmart.

That's the day your SEWARS don't work :)

Driving around the island in some of the less tourist spots, I believe that. There are parts of Hawaii that look third-world, and I've only been to Oahu.

Oh this I understand. I wouldn't carry a round in the chamber if flying either. The forces of ejection are just too much. I just meant for your typical grunt. I think in close combat, I'd want my weapon at the ready.

So would I! Zero, absolutely zero need for external safety on a DA/SA with a heavy DA trigger. That and it's Iraq.

Barber's Point is atrocious, as I'm sure you know. My stepbrother works there as ATC (think it's called Kapolei Municipal Airport now?), and we drove to the beach on what used to be the base... completely overrun with vegetation... Hawaii hasn't taken care of it all. What a waste.

Hahaha I'm a snob. Moving to a Springfield 1911, even a loaded model, is a step down from a SIG... in my opinion ;) (That said, my next purchase will be a Springfield MilSpec)

Oh ok, thanks for the correction. What about in combat? No way do I want a weapon that wasn't at the ready if I'm getting shot at.

Also has to a factor that many police are morons when it comes to their weapons. I had a guy tell me his S&W pistol was a H&K... or so he "thought". Saw a video of a cop shooting her Beretta... laughed it off when it jammed horribly at the range because she didn't keep it cleaned. I have little...

Forgot to add, a typical FFL price should be $25 or under. Some guys are real dicks and will charge $50, or even $100. I had a dealer tell me he was going to charge me $100, I literally laughed in his face and walked out of his store, telling him I would never spend a dime there.

Oh man, Cecil reopening would be awesome.

Sub-MOA, nice. I believe the Secret Service uses 7mm. Why'd you CHOOSE to move down in the world? :icon_smil

Ain't that the truth.

No, I don't work for Scotland Yard, or SAS, or all their various police and counter-terrorist teams. But, the guy is still speaking, freely, distributing REAL hate and sedition. I'm sure they're watching him closely, but while they watch, he recruits. Maybe they should get on board then...

Funny story... in 1986 when they were selecting the pistol to replace the 1911, both the SIG P226 and the Beretta 92 were the final selection. The ONLY reason the Beretta won over the SIG was because Beretta offered them a slightly lower cost of production. When Berettas started having...

You're a freak for wanting to come down in a chute, injured, over water. Yes, you've told me why a million times. You're still a freak. :icon_tong

Disagree. It's PC run amok. The muslims should worry, they aren't doing entirely enough to fight extremism. Saw it first hand more than enough times in college and still today. And the Brits are run amok with militant Islam. They even have their own nice cleric who actively preaches death to...

Many of the deals on Gunbroker are from shops. When buying new, there is little to worry about. Buying certified pre-owned, little to worry about. Buying used? Well, I prefer to buy used firearms in person, or at least have pictures of the pertinent parts (action, barrel, etc) so I can see the...

Any kind of online order will eventually go through a dealer, for the most part. I'll give you examples: A) Yuu go on Gunbroker and find a sweet deal. A private party is selling it. You pay for it, then you and he have to coordinate dealers. You go to your local FFL and get them in contact...

I own a Glock 23 as well. Fine pistol, I'm considering it as a carry piece since my P226 is too large for my frame. Don't get too caught up in "stopping power". When it comes to 9mm, .40, and .45, each cartridge in a quality hollowpoint is about equal. When you're talking full-metal-jacket...

Not sarcasm. Boondock Saints is the best.
