I guess for the Navy this is exciting! 🤣 🤣 🤣 Warship Chicken in San Diego Bay USS Momsen (DDG-92) & USS Harpers Ferry (LSD-49) https://twitter.com/i/status/1597661110693265408 And if you're really bored, and want to watch the "extended version" with comms, go here (the "close call" starts around 22:00):

Good ol' San Antonio!

Considering how blue the southern shit hole portion of the state is, as well as the shit hole metro areas are, plus the fact that Be(a)to(ff) actually garnered 43.8% of the vote versus Abbott's 54.8%; that statistic still gives me hope. God bless Texas!

I also started in 1981 and can attest to this. Chiefs then were Chiefs, and practically all wore Vietnam service ribbons amongst other awards. It spoiled me as a young E-1. I watched those "old school" chiefs disappear over the years as they retired and moved on, and in their place were mostly politically correct, tow-the-line SNCOs who were mirrored images of the officers. Hell, most won't even cuss these days in fears of offending some airman! What made the USAF great during those years was officers were officers, and Chiefs were Chiefs, and each complimented each other. Now it's tough to tell the difference! And just to pre-empt the expected replies, anyone who uses the term "boomer" will earn a 30-day suspension! 😁😁😁

That dude is annoying as fuck!

Ya gotta admit, the Germans can find some creative ways to have fun! It's gotta be the beer!

The new DS Prodigy? Not a fan...

Dunno, never shot one before. That's why I'm "buy-curious!" 🤣🤣🤣

This is tempting me... The new XD-M Elite 4.5” OSP 10mm combines all the refinements of the Elite series with the impressive power of the 10mm cartridge. Offering an impressive 16+1 capacity, the pistol features the Match Enhanced Trigger Assembly (META) with a flat face, crisp break and integral overtravel stop. Additional features include an optics-cut slide, an extended/removable flared magwell, improved slide serrations and an ambidextrous slide stop. The result is a highly shootable — and remarkably powerful — polymer-framed pistol. https://www.springfield-armory.com/xd-series-handguns/xd-m-elite-handguns/xd-m-elite-45-osp-10mm-handgun/ I just need to find a dealer that actually has one at or below the MSRP of $653!

It's getting to be that time of year again, gents!! 🍺🍺🍻

Seriously! WTF?!? Little Debbie snacks are being retired from service at military commissaries Pour one out for Little Debbie. The snack line, which includes Zebra Cakes, frosted mini donuts, and other cornerstones of commissary cuisine, will soon no longer be stocked at U.S. military bases...

An airport worker who knew how to take off but not land stole a small airplane Saturday and threatened to crash it into a Walmart, circling for five hours over unnerved Mississippians before ending the flight safely in a soybean field where police arrested him... https://www.al.com/news/2022/09/pilot-threatening-to-crash-plane-into-tupelo-walmart-stores-evacuated.html

Yet another reason to stay the fuck away from Walmarts! You figure out where he's going!

Rumor is we lost Afghanistan because we weren't diverse enough!! 😲😲😲

The irony... The administration that just raided Donald Trump's home for old nuclear information hired this to oversee current nuclear information!

Spanky?

If true, it's tragic he made such a fatal decision based on an event that appeared was out of his control...
