The CRH IOC won't be until around FY19...so I don't know what will happen in 6+ years. But to also address your question...if a fighter guy bails out over bad guy land, we go and we get him.

Good call...probably wouldn't see too many other high altitude places needing CSAR/PR in the future. Oh wait a minute...

What brand of .223 and for how much?

Really dude? Just like when Clinton launched over a hundred missiles around the same day the Lewinksy hearings started...just a coincidence? Or just like why Obama said for several days that Benghazi was a result of a video...only much later for his administration to finally admit it was a terrorist attack when it shows they knew shortly after the event? It's all political, especially at this point. I remember pundits saying that the reason Bush was making a big deal about Iraq and WMD's the summer/fall of 2002 was so that his party wouldn't gt creamed in the midterms because of the weak economy(attempt to change the narrative)...I have a feeling that they were at least somewhat correct. Don't be so naive. The downside is that we appear weak to our enemy(s), and that gives them strength. The only way Iran will discontinue their nuclear weopans effort is if somebody destroys those capabilities or if they have a regime change...negotiating won't do anything to a country whose rulers rule by fear, intimidation, and who quite frankly, could care less about their people.

Or they just really feel sorry for you... I kid, I kid...congrats man! And if you can't finish the bottle, PM me and I'll give you the address of where to send it.

Why??

From what I can tell is seems quality. It never jammed and was very easy to operate...switching between magazines would take some practice to do it quickly. It's short (bull pup) and fairly light...which means it kicks quite a bit. But hey, it's a shotgun so it's supposed to kick. I plan on buying one when the prices come down to MSRP...whenever that happens.

The .223 was PMC Bronze (brass) from Cabella's...it was $5.99 for a box of 20 and free shipping--yeah, I bought quite a bit. I think their current deal is $6.50 a box and I don't think they have the free shipping anymore either. As for .45, I'd check out Buds Police Supply...I think they have a decent deal on .45 brass. Also, sgammo.com is often pretty good, and that's where I bought the .40 this time. I go to slickguns.net a couple times a day (click on ammo) and that's where I find a lot of the good sales. Good luck!

Hmmm....good point. I didn't really think about the backpack/hiking part. Have you (or anybody else) been buying a lot of ammo lately? I saw some great deals recently online and bought quite a bit of .223 and .40...surprised at how low it was actually. Also, for M2, are any of your AK's in 5.45? And do you have any Krebs made AK's?

The AK/AR 'pistols' are neat for sure...and what is even more neat is how they qualify as a 'pistol' thus not requiring a SBR Class 3, etc. However, from a practical stance, I don't really see the point. If I was really wanting an AK type rifle with a shorter barrel, then I would just jump through the hoops and get a SBR. So just like the bump fire stocks, I really don't see the reason to get one...other than the fun factor, which believe me, I'm also a fan of satisfying! Let us know if you get one and how it shoots!

My brother has one and I have shot it several times--what do you want to know?

Thanks man! Appeciate you and tac airlifter responding to my questions. I recently found a site that has them for $2480 which is the military/LE price. Right now they just have them in black and if I'm going to spend that kind of cash, I'm wanting to get exactly what I want and that's in FDE. Unfortunately they're out of those, but I think I'll pull the trigger when those come back in stock as you can't beat the price.

I thank him for his service to our great country and prayers to his family.

They are independent in that they have completely separate boards and that the protected information from the SIB (protected witness testimony, SIB findings/recommendations, etc) are not shared. However, pure evidence (photos from a mishap, toxicology results, cockpit recordings, etc) are not protected and are thus passed along to the AIB. So I assume if the SIB was not finished with the evidence that the AIB needed, it may be held up.

Damn it...that's what I get for slacking on my ACSC

Just not on May 5th...we'll offend the illegals... https://news.yahoo.com/federal-judge-school-censor-student-display-american-flag-160239621.html Really?? Who would want to work with this douchebag?

The said person will either go back to a 60 or a Huey as the manning requirements for Hueys are increasing and AFPC wold likely not release you outside of a helo billet.

So pardon my ignorance...I'm taking it you didn't have a single commissioned officer (non Warrant) in this unit you had authority over?

Sounds more like an opinion.

It would only get about 1/2 of the country's attention because only about 50% pay income taxes.

Cadets are kicked out of ROTC all the time--I remember a few getting kicked out years ago when I went through that fine, outstanding program...the kool-aid was delicious! Unless something has changed, cadets are briefed on day 1 that they have to report any civil involvements and such involvements could jeopardize their scholarships as well as being able to continue with the program and earn a commission. This dude screwed up and got caught. I'm sure the military will be just fine without him. Next subject...

Wasn't 10-15 years ago, now was it. I was well aware of President Kennedy's speech, so I convientily went back as far as the mid 50's as the first person in space didn't happen until 1961. In 1989, George Bush Sr talked about putting a man on Mars by 2019...we'll see if that happens, it's already been 23 years. https://www.space.com/11751-nasa-american-presidential-visions-space-exploration.html

Agreed...but, to honor Neil Armstrong and the like, it's an interesting question: What do folks think will be the next 'First Man on the Moon' event? First man on Mars? AIDS vaccine? Some other achievement/discovery?

Agreed...but what's funny (actually sad) is that even now there is a large segment of the population that believes there are limitations on advancement due to the rich, banks, far right wing extremists, blah blah blah. To me, having a President, who happens to be black, is not a far reach these days to the majority of the country--there have black politicians in every aspect (except President up until recently), black 4 Star Generals, black CEO's, etc. The percentage of people who vote purely on skin color is extremely low...and you can't fix stupid. I'm not saying it's not important to highlight the first time it happened, but again, it was (and will be again) bound to happen...same with a woman. Now having someone walk on the moon, I don't think many people were saying 10-15 years prior that it was 'bound to happen'. A woman will get elected President someday I'm sure in my lifetime, and it won't take anything special to make it happen--it will just happen when it happens. To put a man on Mars, that will take some work and enginuity.

Definitely agree on this one (if it were to happen)--just because they're all Muslim countries, doesn't mean they're all the same/like each other. Not to mention the whole Shia vs Suni and Arab vs Persian aspect. For the record, to me, this part of the thread (Israel attacking Iran's nuclear capabilities) is worth an interesting discussion, but what I find troubling is that there are some on here wanting us to get into a conflict with Iran which I think is completely idiotic. We all love our jobs and want to do the mission at hand, but who wants to get involved in another shithole country where the majority of the people are too lazy to fight for themselves and, quite frankly, don't really care much for the US? I'm all about buying their oil...and that's about it.
