I know that if the Navy had them as a selection that would've been my first choice.

Gotta admit I was kinda surprised that Biden agreed with Palin on the gay marriage issue. I thought that was strong party line for the Democrats. Either way, I think it was really close, almost a tie, and as such I'd have to give edge to Palin since she was considered the underdog.

Fight's on!

That's a huge bitch!

I'm not assuming anything, just saying what it appeared to me. If that's not what you were saying then that's my mistake for misinterpreting your post, but a two word answer is pretty hard to interpret any other way.

That sounded like sarcasm to me, which is funny considering how often you've referred to snopes as truth. Sounds like most liberals when they don't agree with something that is counter to their point. http://www.airwarriors.com/forum/showpost.php?p=368177&postcount=32...

Pay the man his money.

Well, that's true about the gleim book but I gotta admit the gouge class came in really handy after I had spent the night before the class/test drinking. It required the least amount of thinking. :D

It's a Foxnews blog, so temper it with that, but interesting new campaign ad. http://embeds.blogs.foxnews.com/2008/09/26/john-is-right/

I particularly noticed how Senator Obama stuttered and seemed to forget the name of the bracelet that he supposedly has. Both have had mis-speaks, but I would think Senator McCain has a slight edge. He seems to be more on the attack than Senator Obama, who seems to be on his heels.

A simple private license is in no means considered a professional license. If you notice in the FAR's, you can't get paid to fly people around with only a private. Get your private and they might help with your commercial/multi-engine/etc, but you gotta show you'll do it on own first.

I knew China was pursuing space flight but I didn't realize they were this far along. Maybe the Star Wars program from back in the day wasn't such a bad idea after all? http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,427786,00.html

My recommendation.....whatever pistol fits your hand best. Don't even worry about the brand till you actually hold several pistols. If it fits, I'm a huge fan of H&K, but the most important thing, GET ONE THAT FITS!!!!

Which is pretty unbelievable in my opinion. Weight and balance is calculated in the F & H by using 200 pounds per aircrewman, is it similar in the R? I ask that because there's slop built in with those weights. I've flown with crews where we are all over the 200 assumption, so if it's similar in...

Sucks for the guys there, the four months I had in the pool was dedicated to lowering my golf game down to almost scratch :D Or you could wear it at the dip, along with your brown shoes, and not look like a SWO. Must not have seen too many OCS'ers then eh? Believe me when I say that shitbags...

It doesn't matter....it's moo.

Yup, if you're an unwinged stud or applicant, it would take an act of God to get an anthro waiver.

Except anthros.

To get to snake's question though, is there a specific reason for not allowing carry on base, or is it just one of those "that's the way it's always been" kind of rules?

But it was a blog, so it's pretty much same same.

Threadjack here, but I think that's an unfair and biased opinion. How can you say that we should've taken them into this county, and that not doing so was wrong, in the 20's and 30's based on what happened 10 years afterwords?

Don't kid yourself, hookers and blow comes in just as handy. :eek:

Was still a fun thing to do when I was there too, especially when doing aerobatics.

While I can't speak specifically about GSBPP, I had several friends there that enjoyed the program. It may not be as highly recognized as some other disciplines there but it's still a decent degree. My only question is, can you apply for it out of USNA? I knew O-1's in ever school except that...

Was sitting around thinking about this so decided to look it up. Just so everyone has the info in hand, here is the actual law from the BATF's website. http://www.atf.gov/firearms/faq/faq2.htm#b11

One thing I just noticed in reading about Palin is she also has a kid in the military. I wonder if that would be any kind of point made or not made wrt to both sides of the isle. Either way, I think it's a good choice, and not because she's a woman, but because in her limited career she has...

Or going swimming down Brownson road and also swimming across Rip Miller Field. Good times! :D

Yeah, but I think it's a lot different when they bitch because they don't like it instead of bitching because it just doesn't work.

Or, just call it Hurricane Hanna "Montana" and then you can be happy because it'll sing to you as it smashes your house and makes all your preteen daughters go apeshit for it's autograph.

I drive a Jeep too, but I don't have doors or a top so I never wear a cover while I'm driving (one blew off once and was a pain in the ass to go back and get). When I get saluted while I'm in the Jeep I just nod and say thank you. Whenever I go on MCRD the Marines jump out from foxholes and from...

Not until someone comes up with something like this to get that FITREP bullet. :rolleyes:

Seriously, other than the difference in shading, what is the difference? Bueller? Bueller?

Dang, that sucks, because bleach is the easiest way to make them soft and comfortable!

Not always, that was his point. But I agree, $150 is a lot. Good idea too on it satisfying req's for a CCW (if that's an idea for the op down the road).

Except for yours.....:confused:

I did something similar when I was there as an E-3 back in 2000. It wasn't through MWR, some crusty retired Chief Gunner's Mate ran it at a local range. If memory serves, I think I paid $50-60-ish for the quals. He did all the paperwork. You are right though, there may not be many...

Yeah, that's the issue, without something like a Texas drivers license you're not a resident, and orders are supposed to be the way of showing you are a pseudo-resident.

Another thing you can try is to put it in the box that the watch came in while you're not wearing it, assuming you still have it. That way it's flat and shouldn't lose/gain much time at all, if any.

Don't want to know how! :icon_tong

Leading authority on both those smells eh?

Here's your new avatar.

Yeah, and that can be the tough part. They are the same age so it's pretty easy to be all chummy with them. Best advice a former chief of mine gave me when I found out I was going to USNA. He said, "take care of your guys, don't be your sailors fuckin' friend". I'll never forget that.

Considering most junior enlisted are 18-20 years old, I doubt you'll be younger than them.

Unless I'm just reading it wrong, isn't that what I said? Keep turning towards the landing runway (back towards the airport) and then continue to turn to establish yourself on the missed approach procedure.

A missed from a circling is basically turning as required towards the landing runway and then continuing the turn to establish yourself on the missed approach procedure. I seem to remember the FAR/AIM saying something about the turns will be different depending on where you go missed at on the...

No keeeding about it, suck less at your checklists and it'll be less time you have to sit on deck roasting like a pig.

Checked yes when I enlisted. I was enlisting for the nuke pipeline, which if you read a few posts above have their own set of rules. Got the waiver, and was still able to get into USNA and ultimately fly with that in my record. So yes, it can happen. Work hard and good luck.

I never got actively sick, but felt queasy a few times, and that was after eating bagels/bread/etc before I flew, but when I would eat a cheeseburger or something like that, no problem. Guess it just depends on the person?

Unless you have a complete p.o.s.(which the majority of guns nowadays aren't), shot-out barrel, or a gun physically falling apart on you, the accuracy you experience from a firearm is almost entirely the responsibility of and caused by the shooter, not the equipment.

To add on, and while I'm not speculating about this specific case, a friend of mine who is a JAG said that frequently in cases like this they also try to lie about or hide what they are doing when they are asked/get caught.
