  1. Any of you guys know if you can still get just an AR-15 upper anywhere for a decent price? This is probably a long shot...

    I was thinking of building myself an M4-style carbine before all this bullshit happened. I already have a Bushmaster A2 so now I'm thinking maybe if I can just get an M4 upper and a buttstock that would be good enough. But I'm not really finding anything so far!

    The places that aren't price gouging have been sold out for a little while.

    Recommend waiting 6 months until things settle out.

  2. I may be dense (likely), but why are we hell bent on a progressive tax system? Why should I pay a higher PERCENTAGE for making more money? If the rates were flat, I would contribute more actual dollars the more I make .... But I still don't get why I should pay a higher percentage for being successful.

    What's the history/genesis of this line of thinking?

  3. They changed suppliers a few years back and mandated that they use American parts and labor. The end result is a single supplier that coats their goat leather with what appears to be brown vinyl. If you have an older generation jacket, don't lose it or let it get stolen by Egyptian movers .... The replacement sucks.

  4. Vipers in Egypt. Up your life insurance, but as of a couple years ago they had great quarters and financial perks.

    Been there, done that, would recommend.

    Although not as footloose and fancy-free as it once was still a great 1-year vacation ending in an opr that says 'commander'

    Great deal for the senior enlisted troops on the team as well (for all the thread lurkers)

  5. Interesting. That is the first time I have ever heard that light grays strafed in DS. Actually, it is the first time I've heard that they fired the gun period in DS. Source?

    If you didn't hear about it, it couldn't have happened.

    (are you my wife?)

  6. Show me one post where someone told me who they are and what their qualifications are.

    I'll feed the troll, and maybe we can turn this into an introduction and credibility thread.

    I'm Pete HOSS Harris, an Aggressor at Nellis.

    I've been flying vipers since 2002, to include lots of FMS experience.

    I was a T38 FAIP at Columbus prior, and casual at Andrews prior to SUPT.

    I personally know several regulars here, and professionally know of quite a few more.

    And you are? ...

  7. That should be easy for TMO to look up over the phone.

    Realize it should include the cost of the line haul, pack, unpack, and a 10% weight allowance for packing materials (or actual weight if you reweigh the 'trash'). I'm guessing it would include cost of the packing materials (boxes, tape, blankets, etc) since I know the govt pays that on a regular move (and the boxes ain't cheap), but I can't back that part up with paperwork.

    TMO should be able to answer all these questions for you with actual dollar amounts so make an appointment. Once they give you the

    Numbers, reference the jftr. Trust but verify!
