  1. Also, Biden wants another “assault weapons” ban because “common sense and things,” meanwhile you only have to look a few days back at the Netherlands to see precisely why the 2A exists and is critically important to the survival of a free society. Thank God the GOP was able to narrowly take the house, else bullshit like that may actually pass.
  2. In today’s news, Biden trades a prolific arms dealer who conspired to kill Americans for POS Brittney Griner, but leaves another American who’s been in Russian prison for 4 years. What a jackass.
  3. I think that’s the one positive thing that’s come out of this disaster. Talking to friends from all over the work spectrum, it seems like this old line of thinking is changing. I don’t give a shit if someone chooses to wear a mask, but I honestly will still think you’re a complete idiot when I see your mask around your chin talking to a stranger 2 ft from your face, or when I see you rip your mask off as you leave the plane, only to see you standing nuts to butt in the Jamba Juice line without it. Those people are just virtue signaling douchebags who can’t let go, and I don’t feel bad about thinking that.

    Communicate - navigate - aviate…duh.
  6. I would think 13, and if they said 11, I’d tell them to GFY and find another unit.
  7. I’d do it - you absolutely cannot do a lot of things in the civ world that you will experience in the mil world (amount this difference is depends on what you fly). The camaraderie and life experiences in and out of the cockpit are irreplaceable by the civ world for the most part. You’ve got ~40 years left to fly the airlines, why not have some awesome experiences and serve something greater than yourself for a handful of that time? If max money, minimizing moving, and minimizing effort required at work are important to you, then don’t do it.

    Why not both! M2 should grab that one and then find a 300BLK.
  9. My completely uninformed guess is the guy had thousands of hours if he’s flying aircraft like that. I have over 2k hours flying fighters, and only last year I damn near hit someone - misprioritizing a fast rejoin over a safe “it’s not going to happen within these tight time constraints” decision and just not doing it. I’ve done thousands of rejoins, tons of experience…task misprioritization and pressure to “get it done” is a real thing at all levels of flying experience.

    Been there! Honestly I don’t find airline flying boring, I find it different. Different isn’t a bad thing.

    About 9 months ago they told me in person only for the discount. Policy must have changed.
  12. And it will only get worse until enough people tell them to GFY in every form of verbal and physical means. A lot of conservatives are pushing for better quality GOP candidates who are more in tune with “the masses;” that’s certainly a real challenge that must be faced cranium on. But holy shit, supporting directly or indirectly the insanity, including widespread censorship and other general fuckery, that the Dems are pushing is throwing gas on a 5 alarm fire.

    Tree - there are good mag extensions for the 43 that you don’t even notice aren’t OEM. But also, there is no such thing as a bad reason to get another gun! And the 43X is already cut for a RDS, which is nice.
  14. Seriously? Sounds like they fixed the problem, but holy shit I can’t believe the total lack of SA on ver 1 of email if true.
  15. No way that $50 email is legit, and if it actually was, then whoever running this board at Boise is a giant douche. I highly doubt that’s the case.

    43X - perfect balance of size, capacity, and quality. I like bigger cartridges too, but I also like having a pistol that I’m comfortable carrying (IWB) all 4 seasons in any situation (t-shirt/shorts is no problem). I can keep it on my hip all day - driving, sitting, whatever. Whatever you choose, if it’s not comfortable AND works for you to put rounds ONLY where you want them, then it’s a bad carry gun (for you). Quality wise, I have several Glocks with thousands of rounds through them - excellent pistols that I trust my and my family’s lives against humans and dangerous wildlife. I’ll probably never carry any other company’s pistol (not to say there aren’t many great companies out there).
  18. Flew to OAK the other day, probably 80% of pax were masked (a strong contrast from literally every flight I’ve flown since the mandate ended). But it’s San Fran, so I guess I shouldn’t be surprised. I bet all of them would rather fly with the con than with an unvaxxed person.

    Been dragging my feet for years on aftermarket triggers. Finally installed a Giessele SSA in one of my ARs - phenomenal difference from the mil spec trigger (from Aero Precision, so not a slouch of a company). Do it, it’s quite possibly the best upgrade you can do on an AR.
  20. It’s too much work for Finance, denied! I’ve never heard of this being done, interesting thought.
  21. Lots of info on here; search for AFOQT and TBAS (two major hurdles you need to jump/schedule yourself most likely). Sounds like bogeydope.com is a good resource to find out who’s hiring and what they require for an application package. Age is working against you - you need a lot of hustle to make it work (you’re already likely in age waiver territory, which is a hard no for some units).
  22. That is insane any airline hired that guy; if anything this is more in Spirit’s wheelhouse than JB’s!
  23. Yet another great reason to never go to Qatar
  24. The only thing fun about a soccer game is everyone getting hammered while not giving a shit about the actual game.
  25. The hallmark of O-6 red air.
