  1. I think everyone here agrees with you. I at least know I am disappointed there are no squadron patches for dudes stuck in ABUs. I still have my BDU's hanging up in the closet complete with pocket patches.
  2. Either photoshop or a 3D rendering.
  3. Him, him. (Edit: And yes I am aware this is not a photo from the actual raid)

    Not the first time that has happened. A bro had that exact scenario about 4 months back. Met up with a -10 over the boulevard until the damn thing managed to turned itself back on.

    Two big thumbs up for Oban.

  7. Not sure what MWS you are but the tanker staff guys were wearing bags or ABU's (their choice). I heard rumor that the old chief boom or someone along those lines was rocking multicam's but your best bet is to email whoever you are replacing (or worst case your gaining DO) and ask them directly.

    You can't go wrong with the Glock, but personally I like my M&P9 (VTAC) better. The XDM is at the bottom of the list IMO.
  9. About 2-3 months ago in the AOR.

    Mini 14? BANNED! Good thing my full sized M1A isn't though, I was starting to get worried. Double irony that it totally looks like an assault rifle too (sans black paint).

    Sweet, that's right next to my hometown.
  12. True, I should have clarified that's assuming a normal closure rate. The receiver in question managed to get into contact (briefly) prior to the incident so I'm just assuming it wasn't an issue of closure rate.
  13. The -135 doesn't fly in an out of trim state. When we have an A/P disconnect the jet is trimmed and will continue doing whatever it was before for the most part. 99% of the time the receiver won't even know our A/P just clicked off. Up front we can generally tell how fast the receiver is closing in just by paying attention to the trim wheel moving due to the receivers bow wave. I wasn't on that jet though, so it's hard to tell if it was an A/P issue. I'm betting you think the boom floated up because the tanker had a sudden pitch down. I'm willing to bet it was the boom operator doing his job and flying the boom out of the way. Tough call. The receiver definitely hit the upper limit though. The E-3's wing flex when he dives away means nothing other than he dives away. It doesn't tell the story if he had upward movement into the tanker or vice versa. Regardless, NATO E-3's still scare me...but not as bad as some foreign Vipers (Dutch and Polish not included).
  14. All that for 11 pounds? I realize that it all adds up but seriously?

    https://membership.nrahq.org/forms/signup.asp?campaignid=bonusgiftwy&EK=Y2ARPPBC&pubID=148.30&hid=11051880 Decent NRA deal for membership. $10 dollars off normal price and they throw in a good looking duffel bag. (Edit, forgot to add the link)

    Anything they can do now to slow roll the CCW the supreme court mandated.
  17. Ghostbusters is probably 6.9 years older than Masshole and doesn't feature Tanning Chatum, so of course she hasn't seen it.

    White followers...I haven't bought a metal mag in a long time are those decent?
