    Mailman made a delivery: Aimpoint M2 with Larue Mount, FDE rubber cover, and len's covers with integral ARD. Can't wait to throw it on my AR and zero her in.
  2. That sucks to hear. Hope those guys can get picked up with BA or something and take advantage of all the free flight training.
  3. I was trying to figure out what the hell that badge was. Figured it was some weird foreign jump wings and he had them in the wrong spot...but damn...that's even more embarrassing. Someone needs to jack that guy in the nuts repeatedly.
  4. I am honestly not surprised at the stupidity of the USAF. Can you refuse to sign off on an getting issued a weapon? Honestly I'd like to think I would flat out refuse a pistol without ammo. At that point it isn't a weapon, so why would I sign off that I was issued one?
  5. Haha and they forgot to turn on Fergie's mic for about the first 15 seconds including a little bit of her solo. What a shit show. But she does look pretty damn good.
  6. And the Polish...well usually how Germany will invade the Pole's.
  7. Buy 3 B-2's for the cost of modernizing one of those. That price didn't even include a brand new airplane. This was just an upgrade.
  8. Links don't work. But I agree, multicam is the best all around pattern, but that doesn't make it even close to being the best pattern for each of those environments.
  9. Having one uniform for everything is like having one airframe for everything...it's going to be subpar. You can't have a desert uniform and a jungle uniform in one and expect it to be better than a purpose built uniform for either climate. I understand why leadership went with one uniform (cost) but they need to realize it just doesn't work. There isn't any green in the desert and there isn't any sand in the jungle. Digital isn't the problem. Digital patterns do work with human eyes. The problem is the color pallet they used.
  10. Ditto. I'd much rather have a gaggle of veterans sing the National Anthem than this group. Give me some Army guys sporting deployment patches and CIBs on their ACUs, some pilots with combat time, some Navy SeaBee's or EOD's, some PJs/TAC-Ps/CCTs/CROs/STOs or any Air Force job that requires an acronym and a beret to describe, and any Marine with sand on their boots. I don't want to see some excruciatingly choreographed GAY routine. Give me something real please.
  11. I thought for a pistol that was true. But from brief chats with SF guys it's different for an M-16. Granted this was all on a CONUS base but normally they go out with a magazine in the well but nothing chambered on safe. Then for escalation of force they would chamber a round. Then it was game on. I can't imagine going out of the wire without a round chambered though down range...so yea.
  12. Yea I looked it into because after I saw it I was fairly freaked out also...but it turns out even the "real video" and "based on actual people" are 100% false. Pissed me off how they say X people are real and this is real footage and the entire thing was a crock of shit.

    Normally I would agree with you, but in this case you are wrong: http://guns.connect.fi/rs/50cal.html

    Crazy. I am more used to seeing the standard muzzle break on the M107 and M82 (you can see that in the .50 back to the guys left).

    Is that a suppressor? I don't sound like it's doing anything, lol.
  16. OCP? Really? Are you that fucking desperate for an OPR bullet? It's MultiCam you failure! But I guess the AF isn't the only one making this OEF dependent: Seems like both services are going to make sure that this is an OEF only uniform. I also like this quote (from USAF article): Yes...I am so glad they finally came out of their shell and said what the ABU was about: IMAGE and "heritage." Not a "Battle" uniform. Shit, not even a barely functional uniform. It was an image change. Way to go!!! So let make sure everyone is clear: MultiCam will not doing anything for our heritage or image...yet is FUNCTIONAL, inter-service, and is the "best ground combat uniform that enhances combat effectiveness (tell me that isn't straight out of an OPR). And for those reason's Multi-Cam will never be the USAF primary uniform (that and it would take the USAF ten years to field it and when produced the tops and bottoms will never match). And just a little tid bit: MultiCam was offered to the USAF and Army for the next generation combat uniform but both services rejected it. The Army went with the Universal Combat Pattern (UCP/ACU) because it was about $2 cheaper per uniform. The USAF wanted a unique uniform to be visually different from the Army yet close enough where they could just steal all their tactical gear. So they took the ACU, added blue, and added tiger stripe. When we all could have had MultiCam years ago. Real world: Gillie suit, MultiCam, and ACU /Rant And to reward those that read this rant:

    Yes...who would want a light on a weapon they intend to use for home defense...you know...since most break-in's happen in broad daylight and stuff.

    Pretty cool online toy for building/customizing popular modern fire arms: http://pimpmygun.doctornoob.com/ Attached is what my AR actual should look like once I buy the upper.
  19. I would be curious as to how this injury happened. Bruises to ribs and hip sounds like he took a bullet to his jacket...but dislocated elbow? That sounds like he fell out of his vehicle...
  20. Because this is America: Woman who fall's in fountain while texting sues!!! http://news.yahoo.com/video/us-15749625/fountain-lady-nobody-went-to-my-aid-23909987 To bad she didn't drown...
  21. So how does a blimp not get tossed around like a leaf at 20-30k with 100 knot winds blasting around? I see this thing getting scooted over to Iranian air space and then we will have another EP-3 v China incident on our hand.

    Making a "Good Deals Thread" on another Forum I am on. Check it out: http://seatstaysup.com/forums/showthread.php?t=27401 There is a Comp Aimpoint M2 w/LaRue mount for $499! I ordered it a couple hours ago. Great deal!
  23. It's not that I don't wear it properly...it's that I don't wear it at all.
