    Easier to teach her to shoot a .45! Personally, I'd recommend anything with "XD" in its name...

    I have a Taurus TCP, which is basically the same thing as a LCP only a little better (the last round locks the slide back). Honestly, I only use it for when I'm doing yard work or in the garage, I really wouldn't trust a .380 for self-defense. I know it's only a short 9mm, but I am a firm believer in the old adage of never shooting a large caliber man with a small caliber bullet...

    I'll give it a try once I get back to the office later this week; but I would be very happy if I can finally log into BaseOps via NIPRNET!

    The only '1911 problem' is not having enough of them...
  5. Yep, the Panthers inactivated back on 18 June 2013. They're an A-29 squadron training Afghans at Moody now... If you want overseas, the 25 FS at Osan's your only choice; and yes, as far as I know it can be a two-year, command-sponsored accompanied tour or non-command sponsored for a year. If the latter, you'd have to pay for your wife to fly over, but you'd get local OHA. I believe on-base housing is still somewhat limited. It's been a while since I've been there...
  6. Wait. there's two Majestik Møøses (Meese?)?

  9. Yep, no respect for the drones...
  10. Nerd vandalism... And seriously...WTF?

    According to XDTalk, they've been out since around November... Note: Not mine. Honestly, I find I shoot better with the 5-round mag versus the 7-rounder I have. I'd like to shoot a 6-rounder mag if only to see how it compares...

  13. Or, on the other hand, two homosexual active duty males that "have:" a child. I guess neither gets it (STS)...

    Nice one, busdriver, I am sure no one here will be too shocked to learn I have one just like it! I actually made a nice little acquisition last Friday, a 1952 Stevens 87B that I scored for ninety bucks! It wasn't in great shape but it cleaned up well, I spent some time with some lemon oil on the stock and got all of the paint spots off it. Someone carved the initials 'JMB' on both sides of the stock. That adds to its personality even more! I hoped to shoot it this past weekend, but the weather decided differently. I can't wait to shoot this old "clickety-clack" (so named because of the sound the action makes when shooting it)! Here are some of the seller's pics, it looks a lot nicer now... The oddest thing (besides the gills on the left side) is that the bolt stays open after you fire a shot, and it doesn't chamber the next round until you release the trigger!
  18. Looks like carports to me... https://www.baseops.net/militarypilot/housing/laughlinafb/ https://www.housing.af.mil/laughlin/ https://www.laughlinfamilyhousing.com/ https://www.travelux.com/Destinations/Details/NA/US/TX/Laughlin%20Air%20Force%20Base
  19. Don't assume anything. Since no one has officially complained (other than 17D_guy's comment in this thread), we mods/admins aren't going to do anything unless we see it becoming a problem. But in all fairness, I hope we don't see a new thread every time JQP posts another article. If that becomes the case, then maybe we'll see about setting up a sub-forum to discuss his observations. In the meantime, as it hasn't hit the threshold, no harm no foul...
  20. As far as I have read, there are only three Sikhs in the US Army who have gotten waivers. MAJ Kamaljeet S. Kalsi (center), a doctor; CPT Tejdeep Singh Rattan (left), a dentist and CPL Simran Preet Singh Lamba (right) a combat medic. The latter has a master’s degree in engineering, but since he wasn't a US citizen at the time he could only enlist. I can't find any instances of Sikhs in the USAF who have gotten waivers for their turbans and beards. According to the article from which the above picture came from, there aren't any, nor are there any in the Navy or Marine Corps.
