    Screaming Yentas Q

    Sorry Pickle, but that is fuckin' funny. You are the only SS3 I know of to barf. I did see one fall out of his seat once, watching IRDS go back and forth, back and forth....Fell right into the tube. Can you say Spatial Disorientation. Laughed our asses off! Seen more than one SS1/2 barf, no...

    M1A/M-14s are sweet shootin' classics IMO. When I checked into my first HS squadron we had 12 or so of them with two being full auto. Yes they were cumbersome getting in and out of the helo but in some circumstances a little extra punch is needed. Unfortunately my Ord. O cared little about...

    They didn't teach you the "butt cheek squeeze" technique? I thought everybody knew that....;)

    Spare the rod, spoil the child (child-rearing tips for aviators)

    My boys ages 7, 13 and 19, go everywhere with me too. Commissary included, as we always end up with more than one cart to push. Of course I wouldn't take the little one on a two week back country pack trip to slay wapiti, but he'd go if I let him! I guess I am lucky, none of them act out...

    Bad answer on my part- Meant to convey that Pilots do in fact get to touch, fondle, and caresses the power levers in the P-3.

    Survival Gear and Preparation...

    Can't go wrong with extra water. Also the Quick-Clot shat is a good investment weight wise. I carry it for my horses and mules in the backcountry where help is a long ways away.

    That's why FE's are issued a small stick upon graduation from the RAG, to FWAP pilots hands as they reach for the power levers...:D I had an old FE who would challenge lurkers in the flight station by saying "I'll bet I can get my knife out faster than you can grab an e-handle"

    40 Reasons guns should be banned

    How's that? As opposed to ten years ago? With FLASH suppressors. ;) Do you really think, that I or anyone else, will end up acquiring a fully functional 155mm Howitzer and setting it up in my front yard? Ever?

    Gun Laws in your state

    Soon we will be hunting (controlling) wolves out west via that very same method. They are pests and need to be rid of. Any other control method doesn't work well. Also, why, oh, why would anyone want to fuck with Texans and their flag, that's like walkin' up to a hornets nest and giving it...

    Wink's CCW Murder Board

    Lot's of variables here not explained, but here's my cut. Is he in a position to shoot the deputy ie clear line of fire? "In the direction" wouldn't make me start sending rounds down range. I would probably perceive the guy in the bushes as a friendly, don't think a dirtbag would waste his...

    Another "praise the Raptor" article

    I saw an F-22 in the flesh for the first time last summer at an airshow here locally. If I had NOT been at an airshow, I would have sworn up and down that thing was an alien space craft. It defies all laws of physics, does things an aircraft should not be able to do. They did a 2 a/c break...

    I'll fourth that for the .357sig. It is a zippy little round with some awesome ballistics. It is 17 ft/lbs of energy short of the best .357mag round at the muzzle for factory loads.

    Self Defense stories

    If you are smart about it, there will be absolutley no problems. Buy a good quick access safe like the one Schnugg suggested. I prefer the V-Line safes myself. When the kiddos are big enough, start the education. When they go over to little Johnnies house to play/spend the night do you...

    Self Defense stories

    I agree to a point. Most all people with military experience(and I can only speak to the Navy side) have exposure to weapons training. Most civillians do not. It is not a "support our troops" thing because this was around during the "we hate our troops" era too.

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

    Had to add- I have and carry frequently a Glock 27. I have shot it allot and am very comfy with it, I have big hands. It is a .40S&W. I also have for this pistol another barrel which turns it into a .357sig. One pistol, two calibers. It's light and small, great for carry. Bevo is right...

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

    Big ugly slobbering dogs are good for that!:D You may want to consider a shotgun. For around 300-500 bucks you can pick up a good quality new scatter-gun. They are easy to operate, and in my opinion, better for home protection. People under stress with little or some range time usually...

    Iran to get SA-20 Gargoyle: POSSIBLY

    Ballistics Calculator

    This one is cool. If you reload, get a chronograph. With this program you can see how loads are "really" performing. Factory ballistics differ from handloads. The first chrony I had, WAS the shoot over type. Well, one day at the range I didn't shoot over it and put a 168gr .308 round...

    Old Uniforms.....1930s - 1940s

    I have never loaded or shot rifle sabots. I do know that changing bullet weight and length in a rifle barrel designed to stabilize certain bullets can have a serious detrimental affect on accuracy. Seems to me that a hunk of lead that light, coming out of a barrel that fast, would need a much...

    Awesome response to a spouse upset over salutes

    That is an outstanding response! Brings back memories of a day onboard NASP. I was walking across a crosswalk when the guy in a car stopped at the intersection started honking. I looked his way and he was yelling some shit and pointing at his blue sticker on his car. I, having been in...
