You can only have too much ammo if you're swimming or on fire! A buddy of mine told me about a guy he knows who has a shipping container full of ammo buried on his property south of San Antonio. Of course, that's all he told me! 😉

HeloDude Honestly, like you unless something interesting shows up in my feed, there's not many I watch or actually follow on YouTube. Garand Thumb does some interesting videos, and I know his background so there's some validity to his comments. Hickok45 is always entertaining. He's like many older Texas gentlemen I've met over the years that can talk your ears off about guns, and it's always an education. Nutnfancy is irritating. As if telling people to stock up on ammo is some kind of epiphany! Worse of all, he's not even entertaining! Other than Garand Thumb and Hickok45, I watch more Doug Demuro than anything else...

Same circus, different clowns! Although I will admit when it comes down to actually being a productive president, I think the last clown did a better job of it!

Sorry, HeloDude, but Nutnfancy is a complete fucking idiot who I quit watching years ago! I get your point, and it's a valid one; but using him as an "expert" on the topic negates your otherwise sensible argument. There are so many things wrong in that 45 minute video (TL:DW) that even when I tried skipping through it, I still had to endure stupidity at a level no one should put on U-Tube. Plus, anyone who hasn't learned to "buy it cheap and stack it deep" by know deserves to be in an ammo panic. I do agree prices and availability will get better; but we've already had too many of these "scares" to not have learned the lesson by now. Anyone who failed to do so will simply be weeded out if the real need ever arises. Tough for them.

I guess our hope is that COVID will magically disappear like the Spanish Flu... https://www.healthline.com/health-news/what-we-can-learn-from-the-1918-flu-pandemic-as-the-omicron-variant-spreads

From Mike Rowe (one of the few celebrities I actually trust!)...

Was it in poor taste? Yes. Should Biden be spared the same attacks Trump had to endure? Hell no!

From a year ago... Electric scooters to be distributed at Edwards Air Force Base on Friday $1 to unlock, and 15¢ per minute to ride. I guess suggesting riding a bicycle instead is just being too much of a dinosaur again!

Yeah, this is progress towards a more effective fighting force! 🙄

And just because it's different doesn't make it right, a fact many "openminded" people fail to accept!

Atlas is on the GAL, so if interested contact him directly.

ADMIN NOTE: Gents, it's getting ugly in here! People are losing their sense of civility to each other, and it has to stop! Personal attacks and name calling will not be tolerated. Either have an adult discussion and respectfully disagree, or this thread will end. No more warnings. Thanks for your understanding and cooperation!

Bless your heart...

Did you not talk with an ADC when presented with the Art 15?!?

Of course, if this shit is allowed, why not a skateboard?!?

Do you want me to move this to the WTF thread?!?

"Perhaps the best Air Force recruiting commercial in history was posted to social media on Monday, but the Air Force recruiting service had nothing to do with its creation. The 14-second long video shows a pair of pilots making their way down the flight line at Joint Base Langley-Eustis, Virginia, flight-suited up and carrying their helmet bags. The thing is, one of them is not walking: he’s rolling on a skateboard while holding what looks to be a cell phone to his ear..." https://taskandpurpose.com/mandatory-fun/air-force-pilot-skateboard-flightline/ 1504528583_AirForceamnncosncoonFacebookWatch.mp4

Badass!

Call 'em! +90 322 346 50 11 For what it's worth, Google says they're still open! I was last at Incirlik in 2015, and there was no going off base; but Pops had a shop on base between the BX and Commissary!

The Navy's on board... Navy to Start Separating Unvaccinated Sailors The Navy will start processing unvaccinated active-duty sailors for separation under a new policy guidance released Wednesday. Thousands of sailors risk ending their career’s early and repaying bonuses and education fees for failing to be fully vaccinated against the coronavirus by the end of November. “We want every sailor to receive the vaccine and stay Navy. And if a sailor gets their shot, we will honor that and make every effort to retain them,” Rear Adm. James Waters, the Navy’s director of military personnel plans and policy, told reporters. “On the other hand, those who continue to refuse the vaccine will be required to leave the Navy.” Wednesday’s guidance comes two weeks after the Navy’s COVID-19 vaccine deadline for active-duty sailors. As of Dec. 9, the Navy has 5,731 sailors who remain unvaccinated, representing 1.65 percent of the active-duty force. Of the unvaccinated, 326 have temporary medical exemptions and seven have a permanent medical exemption. The service received 2,705 religious accommodation requests but has not approved any of them... (full story at title link)

First members of military are discharged for refusing COVID vaccine The Air Force has discharged 27 service members for refusing to receive a COVID vaccine, marking the first service members to be involuntarily discharged for balking the rule. A spokesperson for the Air Force said the 27 active duty members discharged received counseling about the vaccines, and when they still refused, commanders made the decision to discharge them for refusing to comply with the Pentagon's vaccine rule, a lawful order. All 27 have been in the Air Force for less than six years and may have had additional reasons for their discharge but refusal to get a COVID vaccine was one of the reasons for the discharge...
