No, but he did call dibs.

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.

Dibs ... Again

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

Finally, a post under 690 words.

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.

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.

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.

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.)

Ironically this response is a masterclass in fallacies. Whataboutism (“others waste money too”), false equivalence (comparing a mass GO recall for every senior leader to routine TDYs), red herring (ranting about DoD identity when the question was whether the TDY was justified), ad hominem (calling folks political hacks, retarded), and a false dilemma (“either in person or useless Teams call”). Nice work dudes!

210 RQS (AKANG) is still in conversion and *should* be the last(total force) unit flying Golfs.

Obama golfed? Guarantee he used the red tee box.

There are probably tens of millions a year spent on useless TDYs/PCSs. Cue every person who goes to in-person PME, every bullshit “TDY for the boys” (but they are fun as shit!), every guy who travels to unending conferences and meetings while not providing, nor consuming, anything of value to their job and other attendees. We have endured a significant identity/priorities crisis for years in the DoD, and unfucking that is critical enough to not just throw it on YouTube or a TEAMs call (where nobody will actually listen/receive anything - they’ll be “present” with their muted mic symbol). Complaining about one TDY out of tons each of these GOs are doing yearly is lazy, political hacking on display. Attack the argument/point SECDEF is driving home, but you can’t, because it’s the most logical direction one has given in my lifetime. So, you jump to a retarded Red Herring argument of “but mAh TdY CoStS!” Hilarious, and sad at the same time.

It wasn't Coach Huggy. And many of the soccer parents were truly not happy I wouldn't.

Renewed my FAA medical two weeks ago. The AME reviewed my intake documents and said...."hair color brown....still sticking with that huh...." Ouch!
