Leadership at the 'Deid
You don't need to read the foreign clearance guide to see that....just go through customs anywhere in the country (but especially at the Deid) and you'll experience it firsthand.

VA Loans
Yet another satisfied NBoKC customer here. Closed w/ Dave Devine yesterday on a VA re-fi (3.75 to 3.25). Zero closing costs w/ lender credit, and I cannot emphasize how easy the process is. Literally, I probably spent less than 1 hour filling out forms, etc prior to closing yesterday. Signing completed in my home yesterday evening. Did I mention how easy it was? Highly, highly recommend.

SOS/ACSC information
I'm on Joint Forces (the 5th test). I completed all 7 tests easily today, but the exercises are killing my will to live. I've only got 1/4 done so far.

I just called their San Diego store (the main store/number was already closed for the day) and they said they were out of stock. Did you have any luck with the main number?

Gun Talk
Almost pulled the trigger (no pun intended) on the S&W M&P-15 about 3 weeks ago. Big mistake waiting on that one. Anyone know of any other locations that still have 'em, or any other AR-15s, in stock?

Life at Al Dhafra
2+ years later....can anyone give a more recent update about life at Al Dhafra? Looking for info for a 365-er type deployment, not a flying one. Dorms? Food? Interwebz? Off-base?
