Saw Ant-Man. I enjoyed it. It really didn't take itself too seriously and Michael Pena's character was hilarious.

Care to expand? Every mention of Cobra Kai in this thread is positive.

Boulevard 80 Acre is my new default. If you like hoppy wheat's I'd highly recommend.

I'd venture to guess so you can shoot an AIM-9X with a virtual unlimited employment envelope. Oh the guy is under me? I don't even have to roll and then look up for him, I can just look down at my crotch and the missile will see him. Gives a whole new definition to "look down, shoot down" in that scenario too.

Why did Australia even want a VSTOL model in the first place? Edit: Just saw they have two assault style carriers.

This. I love my 2 piece for those lovely Deid preflights.

Some counter arguments: The MEU with air support from an amphibious assault ship is still the primary plan rather than AV-8's on the ground in country. And just because recently the Navy has enjoyed the success of twin engine airplanes doesn't mean it lacks a history with successful single engine fighters (ie: A-7, F-8, A-4).

Not sure I will be able to drop another pound off without going full SBR. I'll be happy if it's in mid 4's after I throw the optic on there. Parts so far: New Frontier Armory polymer complete lower (came built with buffer tube, stock, and polymer LPK) - 27.3oz V7 upper reciever sans fwd assist & dust cover - 6.3oz Voodoo 14.5" mid length lite barrel - 19.1oz AP Customs carbon fiber handguard - 7.9oz V7 barrel nut - 0.7oz V7 gas block - 0.8oz BCM Gunfighter charging handle - 1.2oz

Mostly just to see how light I can make it. Forgot to mention it will also be getting an Aimpoint Micro T-1 for an optic and a different set of BUIS (the Troy BUIS in FDE currently on the gun I just had laying around). But when I am done with it I expect the reliability to be on par with any of my other AR-15s. I know there is a lot of suspicion about polymer lowers but aside from it getting run over by a tank I have no doubt that this gun will go bang every time I pull the trigger.

Just who we want molding/setting the example for future officers...

Said it was carrying cargo and pax hitching a ride to remote islands. Granted I have no idea what the usable weight is on a herk but I can't help but think some combo of weight and balance might have been a contributor...

Well getting off my ass and finishing my lightweight built. I'd say I am 80% done now, just missing a lightweight BCG, lightweight buffer, gas tube, gas block, and pinning the muzzle device. I'll gain .8 oz with the V7 gas block and maybe .1 oz with the tube but then plan to lose a bunch with a high end BCG. The barrel and hand guard are not torqued down. I only put them on hand tight to check and make sure everything fits. So that's why there is an egregious hole between the upper and handguard. For reference, an unloaded milspec M-4 weights 6.36 lbs.

Devil's advocate: That's all good in theory until someone back in Washington says we need to visually ID the target before engaging.

Just dropped some coin on some gucci lightweight parts for my AR build. For all you AR addicts be warned: https://www.vsevenweaponsystems.com/will hurt your wallet.

Someone didn't think this through... First: The two pictures aren't of Hugh Jackman, they are of Christian Bale. Second: Hugh Jackman isn't American, he is Australian.

Can we send a bill to Lockheed and/or Pratt for that?

Shit I hit 329.7 in ~60 days and thus timed out on my 90 day. Been back 3 weeks and still can't fly a local because nothing has dropped off yet...

I love reddit (CSMAF AMA Bingo cards):

Tinder.

Based on Breckey's avatar...I'm guessing he means the HH-60.

Don't knock down a cone with a red ball...duh!

I think the big issue was there never was a slide/scram call. We got briefed exercise trip numbers but not like we can TCAS tag the red air and have any SA, we are completely dependent on the AWACS giving us the threat call...which they never did. I don't remember the exact RF but it was the one with the Columbians, after day 2 our tanker detco got so tired of catching shit for us getting shot down he pushed for us to not be able to pass gas if we started taking losses. Needless to say that idea never got off the ground, since then the entire exercise would be wasted if the fighter guys couldn't get their gas (understandable but maybe they should start tasking some DCA to cover the HVAA guys). Anywho, at least in Alaska there is a chance of us landing before the vol ends. Vegas they usually make us sit and orbit and recover last...annoying. I need to win my money back!
