You will do well in whatever profession you choose, sounds like you are a fighter!

WARNING OFFENSIVE POST FOLLOWS (IT INCLUDES TRUTH) Some major threadjackage going on here... Organic asset versus a dedicated NSW asset. Pure speculation on my part here- The SGC says "Frogs, we will help you when we can but I own my helos". I guess this is the reason why we have HCS-84...

I think lumpy summed it up. The Strike Group Commander doesn't want to lose an asset, and rightly so. Everyone bitches about helos being the bastard step-children of the air wing until someone goes in the water, or the need for a CSAR mission comes up. Not to mention the myriad of other...

That's how it was when I was in HS. Many squadrons spent the time and built up a reputation with the teams, fun times.

Why not have all HSC (or what ever is HS now) squadrons train to that mission? And not depend on two reserve squadrons? Seemed to be going that way when I left the community.

Ohh makes sense. I only have one .300mag. 'tis a Weatherby for knocking down wapiti.

Leadership 101- Give a crap about all of them, you will not like all of them but you can pretend that you do. Have that attitude and they will follow you to hell and back, everytime. I was actually talking about you and apple pie not me. Maybe if you are looking for homo/gay bashing...

True. I was watching that video with my 15yr old son and he didn't get the humor until I explained it to him. Then, and knowing me, he thought it was hilarious. Still doesn't make it wrong, I'm standing on that.

There has been much worse video shot onboard carriers. If you don't like it, don't watch it... what happened to that?

Jesus! What the fuck were you doing with 1.5k of .300 WinMag stuff? Matches? Guess from my hunting perspective that's a muy grande amount.

I'm still stuck in the IPA world with Caldera, from hippy-land.

Yup the majority Yup the minority. That is always going to happen no matter who you are. You can say "I dislike apple pie" and you would offend someone. You misspelled "carry", I'm offended. Now what do we do?

I have a 13 gun Browning. It sits in a spare bedroom lagged to a concrete slab. I am thinking of swapping the dial lock for a digital one because the old dial failed on me once. I cleaned it and it works fine now. Here is a pretty cool safe I saw in a magazine recently, not much more than...

Those are JMSDF P-3s. Dunno if they really give a crap about ORM. Or maybe they have kept some of the warrior spirit. Is it really that bad in the community now? Serious? I guess I don't want to know specifics because of OPSEC, but pullin' g's on a harpoon shot or yankin' her around into...

It's possible and looks real to me. Would hate to be the dude to get hit by a 5lb chunk of ice picked up by the jet blast. Edit: Wonder how the ORM went for that evolution.....

That, and I found out brake cleaner will melt the rubber of a bikini scope cover. It is also great at removing the paint from your new Bell and Carlson stock.

Anyone have any experience with using an ultra sonic cleaner for brass and/or weapons cleaning? I did a little research and the spectrum is from "not worth it" to "awesome". One common theme is the liquid used in the machine, can leach metal out of your brass and some home grown concoctions...

Looks sweet Doc!

Were you on that flight?

What program did you use to find the Trojan?

I, personally would go for the M1. I really do not know how many M1's are left in the world, AR's will be around for many many years.

What? Thats a legit mission. We intercepted an Iranian helo that flew in between us and mother while in stbd d. Ok maybe "intercept" is too strong of a word. We had guns, we coulda done something if we wanted to, just sayin'.:icon_tong

Is there a low level route out of Whidbey that takes you over Lake Pend O'reille? If there is, someone should fly it often.

Most of that is wrong wrt Navy Helicopter Rescue Swimmers. You have made the common mistake of confusing the surface rescue swimmers with aviation swimmers. Not even close as far as skills, training and professionalism. EMT qualifications, yup, check been there done that. Time for a Navy...

Added bold. He is an FE, they do that. Actually from my experience that was pretty mild. Look up narcissist and you will find a description of your typical P-3 FE:icon_smil I, I, me, me, I are typical words in their vocab.. :icon_tong:icon_tong Hope the smiley faces and tongue...

Great job MB. I'd fly with you anytime.

Sooo how old are you actually? Not dog years, not how old you think you are or your internet fiction persona years, but in real after Christ died years? Serious. It might help you to disclose.

That's pretty cool! I knew/dated/married/divorced/dated/married/divorced (yup twice the pain) a chick who was actually turned on/attracted to that scent. Brought gun cleaning to a whole new level....

I have one target I made in word format to print out when I sight in a rifle. It has 5 2" black squares. Found these and they look pretty cool. http://nssf.org/targets/

That was part of my point, we did not have enough runway and aborted, so you are right. Friggin' hairy. The other point I was making is the P-3 has the performance to make the turn obviously, or I would not be sitting here drinking a beer right now. :D:D:D I'm retired I can do that now...

Looking at one article in the current Approach magazine, made me remember my P-3 days….. According the article- “You can’t wave off if you mess up the touchdown; it’s too aggressive of a turn to downwind for most aircraft to negotiate. You can’t fly straight ahead because you will hit the...

So, a long (not really THAT long) time ago when I went through the mtn flying course at Fallon, pilots were taught to pull power at the LZ alt till we drooped. Then, make a magical calculation, look at DA/PA, winds and determine if we would/could loose tra at the bottom of the approach or not...

Hunting this weekend Shot a couple of these. Picked about 5lbs of these. My buddy had a tag and shot this big guy. Quarters hanging in camp. Not a bad weekend!!!!

Do not think this is for me, because I know what happened.… I am the guilty party. I posted a link to the vid with a comment. I SHOULD have checked my sources before posting the link. I had no idea at the time it was a dual class C. Web San set me straight, lesson learned. I am glad no...

I really want to know how the suppressor and muzzle brake work in unison. And I REALLY want to know if a suppressor actually works with a .300mag. I shoot a .300wby with a muzzle brake and ya, the dB's are pretty high.

He's weeping because he found out during initiation that his life just became a lot harder. Or the tabasco from some fun times he and all his friends had the night before is still burning..... All kidding aside, this is a huge moment and cumulation of years of hard work. Congrats to all...

That is friggn’ sad. As a holder of the coveted 0812 NEC and quite possibly the first AW to complete the course (a whole ‘nother story) that is some serious neglect. No sight picture? Breath control? Trigger squeeze? We spent at least one day in the classroom before every shoot...

OK, A4’s agree but also disagree. CDA is my home town, I left over 28yrs ago to join the Navy. When I came back it was not the same. We have had an influx of people from other states driving up property prices, left leaning attitudes, etc.. With the destruction of the mining industry, Bunker...

The Japanese never cease to amaze me with their fascination with cartoonism.

As a local resident I am happy we renamed the airfield after him.

I had always thought the "pilots will "flip" the helo over if we ditch over water." was an old urban legend. I was asked that question many times during pax briefs, but always told them not. After reading this I guess I was wrong, at least for Army. Jump while the A/C is still flyable yup...

Outstanding job Whidbey SAR folks! I've been on that bridge. Pretty steep and narrow down there.

Correct, it is another example of our MC's not checking their work.

Yup, but that means he has no Aircrew wings, they are now (after years of fighting it) authorized to be worn on top of your EAWS pin as they should be. The Master Chief is a bubblehead. And I swear I know Captain Burke from somewhere, is he a helo guy?????

That's a tough one. After you try all the things suggested above and nothing works you may have a lemon. Seriously doubt it, but its a possibility. I have a Browning BLR in .308 that doesn't like factory ammo. It only likes handloads that have a precise OAL. IMO 4" groups at 100yds is...

I believe the intent of the 3591.1E is to retain the highest qualification you shot. If you shoot expert and are awarded the medal, then suck at your next shoot, and shoot marksman you still retain the medal. I read nowhere in the instruction about "exempting" yourself from a qual., just to...

Yup it's old, heard he has another dog too.

Good find Synix... I'm partial to HC 7 and their history though.....

True, and me too, but they shot his dog..... in Texas....

He showed some extreme restraint and discipline in dealing with these pricks. All four could very easily be dead right now. Hmmm wonder how a jury trial in Texas would come out on that one.
