    SERE school (Survival, Escape, Resistance, Evasion)

    26 posts on a thread with SERE in the title and still not locked up. Maybe we're all learning how to STFU? Thats change we can believe in.

    Seeking advice on that first handgun or next weapon purchase? Ask AW!

    I have a G23 which is a .40 in a compact frame. It does sort of "push" back on you more than it does "up". And also if you really like a gun but its hurting your thumb just get a Hogue grip on there for a few bucks. Even the litle cheap slip on ones are effective.

    Another good lesson for us youngens to learn when to STFU. Thank you New York Times for starting this thread.

    To each his own. I have a Glock 23. Its definately not my "favorite" gun but I am good with it and carry it often. Back to the thread: I want one. Just because.

    Russian Sub Fire

    Its not really beside the point. So youre saying its not cool for a nuclear detonation to happen anywhere, but then list a few places that its ok? And are small nukes ok, just not the large ones?

    My Latest Purchase (or just pictures of your current guns)

    I looked at all my mags for all my different models and calibers. I held it with the bullets facing foward and away from me. I noticed that from back to front, the parts that curl in cover roughly the same percentage of the total back to front distance. Or in other words, when you load a...

    Stupid questions about Naval Aviation (Pt 2)

    I had one filled before I went. I was worried that it might turn into something worse while there. I was in enough pain as it was I didnt want my teeth hurting. Plus, some days chow time was as good as it got. Why impede on that with broken teeth? :-)

    Also putting one together yourself will save $$ and give you a better "appreciation" for your weapon.

    My Latest Purchase (or just pictures of your current guns)

    One of my cop buddies carries that sometimes when he's off duty. I was looking at it recently and if you just throw it in your pocket, the hammerless model slides in and out very quickly. I have a SW637 and with certain types of pants I wear, the hammer very briefly snags on the top front seam...

    Nukeproofing?

    Kind of sounds like the playing the thirds system. I think its dumb to try to gamble with things like that. Apply for what you want, bust your ass to qualify/earn it, be happy. Intentionally hurting yourself to help yourself just sounds stupid. Its like making yourself bleed a little so that...

    "Mother's Little [PRT] Helper?"

    Well I'm part of the PFT side of the house, but heres my tip: Take a dump BEFORE. The pft is probably one of natures best laxatives and having to blow severly f's up your run time and your will. Also, you wont forever scar the guy holding for your crunches.

    OCS stamp font

    Wait to get there before marking your stuff. When I went through anyone who used markers or paint got in trouble. They wanted the worthless shoe polish only for the giant letters. Shirts really do not take that long to mark. If you mess a shirt up then its worthles. Just do it there.

    Looking At Your Medical Records?

    I would advise against willingly leaving major medical procedures out. If you got sick pretty bad and were never treated but healed up ok, then thats a different story. Something like surgery I wouldnt leave out.

    Pre-commissioning Loan USAA

    I had a few questions and hiccups during my process. Call them up. Their customer service regarding this loan is excellent. Take those questions you just typed and ask them. For some people, its easier to fill out the forms based on what program they're in. For some people it doesnt make...

    Concur with all the above. All you need is a letter from CO saying you are enrolled in the program and will grad and commission on whatever dates. Have them fax that over to USAA. It takes about 2 hours for stuff to process through their computer system (thats what they told me) so after a...

    Shipping to OCS

    Just remember to keep your PT up as well as your PFT score. The 3 PFTs I took at OCS werent that hot but I could always keep up with the PT sessions unless they were really run-heavy. I saw guys who were the exact opposite. Got great PFT scores but fell out of every PT event and got dropped...

    I have the 45 compact. I've put about 800 rounds through it. Still somewhat new but no problems so far. The slide is so heavy on it though that it doesnt really recoil that much more than my glock 40 compact.
