That sums it up right there. I have had similar experiences with the DMV. "Oh that's what you wanted to do? We can't even do that." "So why did you cash my check?" "Well you will be getting a refund." "Oh good. When can I expect that?" "90 days."

Everyone seems to be using 'combat' as a blanket term. There's really a big difference between Spc. Joe Schmuck support person who gets in a firefight, and Spc. Tommy Toughnuts infantryman who walks around all day looking for a fight. I have a female friend from the Army who had been attacked on convoys in Iraq and had people shooting at her, and she shot back. That's combat, no doubt. I also have friends who were infantry, and a couple who were Rangers. One of them spent 18 months straight in Afghanistan dragging a sniper rifle up and down mountains, setting up ambushes and attacking Taliban. One of my Ranger buddies was in Iraq breaking into buildings and chasing down people in the streets and arresting them. All these people 'served in combat', but it's a big frickin difference. My female buddy was totally competent in her MOS, passed her PT tests no problem, and was generally one of the more squared away people in our unit. I was glad she was in my squad (we were marksmanship instructors in this unit mind you, not infantry). BUT I can tell you there's no way in hell she could have physically done what my infantry friends did day in and day out. That's just one example I guess, but something to think about. edit: spellinz

Another pathetic ATF operation... This is pretty irritatiing to me; I used to live about two blocks from where they set up shop. It's a fairly decent neighborhood, so I don't really appreciate them trying to attract dirt bags there on purpose! ATF's Milwaukee sting operation marred by mistakes, failures

Those are some pretty revealing tests. I can't tell you how many frustrating malfunctions I've experienced after dropping my ham sandwich into my AR!
Not sure if this has been posted before, but here's an interesting comparison of the stopping power of some popular calibers: An Alternate Look at Handgun Stopping Power
You can get the whole thing on Blu-Ray (or DVD) for fairly cheap now: https://www.amazon.com/Vietnam-HD-Blu-ray-Edition-Various/dp/B005BSCPCM/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1359388712&sr=8-2&keywords=vietnam+hd I gave it to my dad for Christmas but I haven't seen it myself yet. Looks good.
You can use this if you want
Saw this last night at Gander Mountain... Anyone looking for a lot of tracers? 7500 rounds, net weight 400 lbs!
What the hell did I just watch??????? So the BUFF is refused service by the KC-10, so he has his F-22 buddies just go ahead and try to kill everyone? What a bunch of dicks!
WTF why did they skip past all the porno sounds at the beginning of the song?
What color socks do you guys wear under your pressure suits?
'Do nothing' is always an option... that's like engineering/business school 101!
Some photos from the Beale facebook page: Nice reflective belt!
There is a form; it looks like this (the first page): https://www.specialtactics.com/pjcctprk.pdf Although I think that is an older version. You just have your doctor fill it out for each follow-up checkup to keep track over the course of your 1-year post-op period. I had my doctor fill out that form, and I provided that form plus all the other documentation that was generated by the clinic, at my FC1. I was told that was all they needed. However I'm still waiting for final approval on my waiver so take it with a grain of salt I guess...
Well, that guy is crazy. But Piers Morgan is an idiot. I have to laugh when people ask questions like "How many gun deaths were there in _______?" I've yet to hear how gun deaths are somehow worse than non-gun deaths.
Looks like the Marines are getting on board! https://www.marforres.marines.mil/MFRNews/NewsArticleDisplay/tabid/7930/Article/136240/service-uniforms-every-friday.aspx
