Thanks for the great info, missed out on a good one.

Disregard. Sold for $2100 as a data point.

Need input: 7.62 EBR, Sage stock, LRB upper and I assume LRB action. No experience with LRB. No mags, no accessories. No mars or nicks, slight wear on the mag well and trigger guard. Bolt face is clean, extractor looks very good. Concerns: Can't shoot it until after buying. No experience...

Not to be outdone, next weeks Navy Times will certainly feature some 400-pound LIMDU baby-momma in aquaflage hanging at the PX doing this. But hey, Coors is on sale!

Imodium.

when I was in RI in '04, the closest you could get to Sara was about 100'. I peste red a guard about it and he said they don't let anyone near or on it. They (Forrestal was still there) looked pretty rough.

A friend stated Big John was looking pretty rough in Philly a couple of years ago. It's interesting when all of your old ships are razor blades or in some "ghost fleet". Guess I'll shove off to the VFW...:) Big John Decom Day, April 23, 2007.

http://www.mizzima.com/news/world/6958-british-man-recovers-buried-spitfires-in-burma.html How incredibly amazing. Griffon-engined no less. Good to see some good news from time to time.

If you could distinctly smell burritos, it's a P-3.

rivercity? is that an app on a IPhone?

Not to sidebar, any guesses as to how long this will take to cue up the Cecil Field vs. Oceana debate...

True, but can you imagine the quality porn? All that lovely gibberish about integrated/synthetic/network stuff is great, but as of late last year the mighty war pig was showing up to an OP (usually late) in the 'stan with no GRG's, much less relevant imagery. But I imagine the P-8 will cure all...

You're not long for VP...

still say Avondale...can lightning (or bullets) strike twice (apologies Statesman)? ...and I carry.

Damn, even the ladder looks brand new.

As if the Kuznetsov carqual Youtube clips weren't morbid enough....can you imagine the PLAN twist? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ljg6GAgRWGY

As if our stacks aren't crazy enough over there...can you imagine some afghan dude checking in with the warden? How awesome...

Brite Star can self-designate and boresight. Wescam MX-15 balls were much better than Litening if for no other reason than we were lower in the stack. http://www.gs.flir.com/products/unmanned/britestarii.cfm

In VT's, the production process formula assumes(d) at least one training event every training day. If a student isn't accomplishing this, the command is behind generally speaking. Right or wrong, the stud who asked for leave got looked at if for no other reason than we had to spend a few more...

I've been in Avondale since '93. Old neighborhood developed in the 1920's. Drove to Mayport (40 mins), then stationed at Jax, back to Mayport, finally back to Jax. 12 mins to NAS Jax, no traffic. I walk 300 yards to 6 restaurant/bars. Not sure how I get back.

I remember having to wake him on a couple of canned instrument jet routes (or was it the other way around?), awesome guy. Great stories.

I don't know how old you are or how much time you have under your belt since your bio is so colorful, but if you're a nuke and you have all of your GI Bill benefits, your preference for school sounds reasonable. I'd be wary of making a NEC/career choice based on what the Navy needs. You...

Theme from Baa Baa Black Sheep. Hell Yeah!

yeah, I heard you guys get top-shelf booze too...what the hell took me so long?

Now that, was funny.

Yup, continuous folks are good. This is an attempt to audit the conditional recipients of ACIP. As one of these degenerates, I read it as: "We ordered you to a flying billet, but we need you to jump through your ass to prove you're flying". Also, "we will lose whatever paperwork you send us...

If recent history suggests anything, it's that once these programs disappear, they are awfully hard to re-start. British naval (and overall military) downsizing since WWII is sobering. I'm skeptical that a JSF buy of substance will happen from them. It's too easy to push down the road and the...

Whoever was operating that ball on the Firescout go-fast takedwon needs some work....

FSGT Crouch, nice to see you again. GYSGT Woollett trained, OCS 15-96 Seaman to Admiral pukes. Only time I saw Woollett smile in 13 weeks was when I blew the crotch out of my khaki's doing "good morning darlings" in front of the chow hall. Good times.

My father in law has a low serial number super in his vault at the gun shop...I'll take a photo and post it. The blueing on it is fantastic.

JAC Molesworth is an old B-17 base of legend and it is decorated with 8th AF artifacts from the surrounding B-17 airfields, Grafton, Bassinbourn...utterly surreal. Throw in great beer, and possibly the best Indian chow on the planet in Cambridge... What a tour...

Yawn, much more to the story...0-5 who suddenly feels compelled to rail against the perceived dependency on PPT....yawn again...oops..gotta go brief for another hop...

Okay John, sounds like another round of well-deserved wardroom dues....anyone?

Finished up and escaped as of last Wednesday. Overall, not a great deal of value. The culmination exercise was a good secenario, but 3 weeks isn't long enough to turn a YN into a Humvee gunner. That's also not the stated intent of the program. The tactical types made it fun, but admin folks are...

A "senior person" shot himself in the foot last week on the m9 table. The females are largely disasters on the tables of fire. Overall impression with five days left is still that mostly command discards are sent here and that most are totally ill-prepared whether it be physical or mental. Sorry...

Shot over 150 rounds yesterday alone on the A2 (yep, Saturday on the 300 meter acoustic range on 6 full courses of fire in body armor in South Carolina in July!), going to shoot well over 3-400 this coming week. I'm not even a "mandatory qual". If you are a relatively new shooter, they spend...

A marine stud said that thing felt like you weren't carrying anything. Nice pick up for sure.

There are about 200 here now at Ft. Jackson. Easily the most "diverse" group of folks I've been around in a long time. Day 4 assessment, most are genuinely deer in the headlights right now as the reality for many that they will be in theater in a matter of weeks has set in. Weapons immersion has...

At NMPS "stand around and do nothing" right now. Seeing Cuz next week. Pita, but worth it for the U-28 gig. See you hounds on the back side.

I wonder if those were the same blimp folks (as if there are a shitload of 'em) who were looking for Maritime Domain Awareness (MDA) work a couple of years ago, back when DHS was handing out huge UASI grants...hmmmm.

A Bone driver in the VT's used to recall the horrendous FMC rate and certain propensity to go through motors. Great stories of having to tap the burners when tanking under certain conditions. I'm under the impression many Bone's were mothballed only to be brought back out some years ago.

Not gonna get fired, too much at stake like Flash said. If McChrystal is out, then the admin is left holding the bag if things go completely south. At least with McChrystal onboard through endgame, the admin can delegate blame. In fact, they can say they took the high ground leaving an...

Somewhere some Norwegians are dusting off their deep recovery gear.

Ahh Rob, still refreshingly optimistic!
