Dibs ... Again

No. But I did stay at a Holiday Inn last night.

@Lord Ratner So basically, let it rip! What mags do you use/where’d you get them?

Biff? Nahh, he’s a Sexual Tyrannosaurus if you ask BQZip’s Mom though!

No, but he did call dibs.

Biff I've gotta ask, were you that squadron member?

One of my last CC calls was pretty gnarly. We all got introduced to a new transexual squadron member. He/she was probably the worst pilot I ever flew with.

Finally, a post under 690 words.

What commander's call isn't a huge waste of time, yet they still continue to happen? Not saying this was cost effective, but when has that mattered in the DoD/DoW? I recognized an Army four star in attendance who retired the next day. Not judging, just some observations...and honestly it's not worth debating!

Sure. You're a bad-faith debate participant who's gotten addicted to political news theater. Even Boomer could keep focused long enough to read that.

Can I get a TL; DR?

Reward hard work and attitude, not necessarily the result.

But still powerful enough to kill. My grandfather carried an M1 Carbine across the pacific and won a battlefield commission. Old school deployments...he left in 1942 and came home in 1946. He said he liked it because it was light and maneuverable in the jungle. Ammo was light and he carried a lot of extra rounds and his 1911 for backup. Break Break - the ATF is in another big fight.

You said who your barometer was and I said who mine was. Simple as that. Until we're in WWIII we'll never know if any Sec Def would have matched up to CoS Marshall. Nice try though. Having political arguments with ppl butt hurt over who's in office so they come to the internet for "wins" isn't my idea of healthy living.

@ClearedHot Miami is good. Congrats.

We get that you don’t like the guy. But from what I’ve seen and heard, you are in the minority. And I don’t want leadership from an email. It’s much more effective when it’s face-to-face. Just because you are on a video, doesn’t mean you are paying attention. No distractions in that big auditorium.

Bud, I think you just painted yourself into a corner. Are you saying Pete is just as good as Marshall? You think Marshall would agree? Marshall, the seasoned statesman and professional soldier vs Hesgeth? BTW, Marshall would be a great example for any of Trump's cabinet to follow. Trump too.

Another great day off football. Penn State...wow. A win-less UCLA goes up 20 on the Lions who were pre-game 24.5 point favorites to win. Penn State did come roaring back but fell short showing their high ranking was a lot of hype. The Alumni already wants Franklin gone. One of my best friends is a two time Penn State grad and she sent me some of the stuff off the alumni page last night, absolutely brutal. Florida SOUNDLY beat Texas...a few takeaways from my end: 1. Arch Manning is not all that and a bag of chips. Dude is being paid a lot of money because of his DNA when his progressions, decision making and ball throwing are better suited for a JUCKO right now. 2. Florida has heart and talent. I sent @M2 a note as the game was winding down...I am glad that is not the team that showed up to play Miami. Miami vs FSU - Miami in my opinion is the most complete team out there but they have things to fix and it starts with the coach. Up 28-3 against a team like FSU you don't take your foot off the gas and let them back in the game. He did it last year and did it again last night. FSU - wow...that team played with grit and heart in the second half. I don't care for all the social media play (by either team), and I think Castellanos gives opponents things to hang on the locker room wall and motivate them. That being said, that kid can ball. Some of his passes, especially while on the run, were lights out. One more week of at large play before the conferences start to eat each other. Ole Miss being the highest ranked SEC team has a TOUGH schedule with Georgia, Oklahoma, South Carolina and Florida.

George Marshall would have, that's the barometer I use.

Mattis probably wouldn't have done it this way. That is my barometer for how a SecDef should conduct and perform.

Regardless of the outcome of the Miami v FSU game it was poignant that their pre-game hype men were a murderer and a sexual predator 🙃

I've got one, and honestly the only reason I feel comfortable with the thing is because the bullets it uses are such low power rounds. It's strange feeling how much less... sturdy... a gun from that era feels. But then again they were just being smashed out by every factory that could produce them.

Liberals, like Salmon swimming upstream.

Anyone have a Universal M1 carbine? I picked one up, took it apart and it seems fine (e.g. safe to shoot). I wanted to see if anyone has experience with one (things to look for, gotchas, etc.)
