    This!
  2. I just one look at my CAC card it my rank is only listed as "LT." And going across service: My Army buddies inform me that 2LT's don't salute 1LT's. No if, and, or buts. They don't. Yet one is clearly a higher ranking officer. I think it's only a big deal because certain people make it. And in the Army, there is also a big difference between a 1LT and a 2LT. I think it's just getting blown out of proportion. If Amn Snuffy see's two LT's not salute each other and it makes that big of an impact on his outlook on military rank and bearing then I think we failed him at a much earlier point. What about a 1LT and a Captain select? Or two Captains with grossly different dates of rank? Yea, that's really splitting hairs...but while we are paying attention to detail...why not? Regardless, my $.02.
  3. Yet the fat ass that always get's placed next to me and takes up more of my seat than I do never gets the boot.
  4. Airbus bitching about anyone receiving subsidies is just stupid. Pot, kettle...black. But I would argue that a NASA contract is no where near a subsidie...in fact...it's work. I hope this was misquoted...how the fuck does a NASA contract prevent Airbus from selling their jets to 3rd world countries? Last I checked...NASA has never been interested in the technology surrounding B737's or BBJ's... ARES 4? Yes. X-48? Yes. X-43? Yes. Not a lot of practical civil technology in there...
  5. Yea, because automatically if an 18 year old can legally drink then they are going to drive.
  6. That area there might be considered an easement also. In which case, city property. I think the neighbor that caused all this is the true jack ass. Those city workers are just doing their job. And as standard city workers, the citizen of course never got any responses when he wrote back. Standard.
  7. Hahah. Craigslist is golden for that. If you really want to hose a bro sign him up for NAMBLA.
  8. Yeap. Almost shot the dude too (can't blame em).
  9. Boeing was looking into this as well: https://www.boeing.com/news/frontiers/archive/2002/september/i_pw.html
  10. We can we drop a GBU on it to curtail the stripping process?
  11. So, can we start taking bets on a no fly zone in about a months time?

    Oh never know that's what a VIS was. Odd you kept the front sight post (different strokes STS). Yea I have a mid length that isn't free floating. Free float is nice, but really unnecessary for the ranges we probably shoot at. How do you like the Magpul MOA? Edit: And I hate my front post. If I did it again I would definitely have a gas block.

    No free float rail? Tisk tisk. (Not really, mine isn't either. On my to do list)

  15. And lets not downplay the negative effects morale patches have to aircraft safety.

    Just stuck it on the ghetto fabulous scale here and it came in just under 13lbs with no magazine, a harris bipod mount, the VLTOR stock, and 2x BUIS (so pretty much how it's pictured above but I put the bipod block on it, but not the bipod). Yea, I've shot the AR with the PRS. I actually like it, the PRS stock is down right awesome once you get it configured the way you like it (eye relief, comfort, etc). But, that being said, I have never shot it with the PRS in a "tactical environment" (ie: Carbine course, CQB/C, etc). I put the PRS stock on it in the first place to just to try it out, never intended to have a 16in carbine with a PRS stock on it. Then I find myself TDY at Altus and forgot I never put the M4 stock back on and all my other gun parts are in long term storage. My next rifle build will be a Mk12 Mod0 clone. The M1A actually came with a PRS stock (bought it used and have a box full of goodies). I will put a PRS on the M1A since I will pretty much only use it for distance shooting, slap the VLTOR that is on the M1A onto my existing AR, and then take the PRS on my AR and use it for the Mk12 Mod0 clone build. Obligatory pic:
  17. Acceleration has never killed anyone, it's suddenly stopping that's the issue.
  18. What is the experience of this guy?

    AntiZombie Device...meet your big brother! I will call it: Bigger AntiZombie Device (or BAZD). Stats- "Loaded" Springfield Armory M1A (includes match-grade trigger group and medium weight cro-moly barrel) Troy MCS in FDE Troy folding BUIS Unitized and ceramic coated gas system Sadlak NM guide-rod Vltor Mod-Stock Yankee Hill Machine FS Troy single point sling attachment & "No-name brand" rail sling attachment Just threw on the Scope for my AR-15 to see how it looked. It's a Nikon with a BDC for a 5.56 so wont work well with the M1A. Compared to the AR-15. Ignore the PRS stock on the AR. I will be trading the VLTOR stock with the PRS. :) Entire family. Zombies beware!!!
  20. Interesting. I have always heard like 99% of the stuff is scripted. Like they will pull random people from the street and give them an object. So the negotiating isn't really scripted, but the item was never that person's to begin with.

    I am confused. His beret fell off...so?
  22. It can be fixed. But it will take time and commitment. Those are the two things we have always lacked. We are impatient and never follow through. We jump ship at the first chance possible to avoid responsibility or finish what we started. Add a shitty ROE that makes it even harder to accomplish much of anything in a short time period and you have a guaranteed lack of success.

    Crazy. The one I shot felt like a toy after shooting my 16" mid length AR. I guess it varies a lot. I think his was a 14.5 upper. So it was apples to oranges. But a 5.56 AR has such pitiful recoil it should never be an issue anyway.
