T-6 Down at Laughlin
Not if the IP was a former -37 guy. They lost one at Randolf with two very experienced IP's on it for this reason. T-37 flap lever = T-6 throttle cutoff

Mustache March
How is that even legal? So now WG/CC's can make up dress and appearance regs?

RAF to the rescue
Bloody decent of them.

I threw it on there and then forgot to take it off before my TDY enroute. So now I'm stuck at Altus with the wrong stock on it since my M4 stock is in long term storage. But not all is lost since I am saving a little more money and buying a Mk12 Mod 0 upper probably while I am still here. But the handguard would be in FDE not carbon fiber.

Exactly. I've been saying that for years. Anyone know what the procurement rate is going to be? It's going to take a loooooooong time if it is only 15 a year.- Boeing Wins $35B Tanker Contract

Or you can buy a real AR (5.56) and just drop in a .22LR bcg and have two guns in one! https://www.botachtactical.com/cmar22lrcoki.html- C-17 and Crew Detained in Buenos Aries
Leave and next time they want us back they foot the bill.- Gun Talk
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.- RAF Cuts
That sucks to hear. Hope those guys can get picked up with BA or something and take advantage of all the free flight training.- Combat Controller Poser exposed
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.- WTF? (**NSFW**)
- Tops in Blue (TIB) - WTF?
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.- WTF? (**NSFW**)
- And we think our procurement process is broken...
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.- And we think our procurement process is broken...
The British are way worse. OUCH!- More Uniform Changes!
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.- More Uniform Changes!
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.- Tops in Blue (TIB) - WTF?
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.- I Hate Reflective Belts
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.- Latest Movies
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.- Gun Talk
Normally I would agree with you, but in this case you are wrong: https://guns.connect.fi/rs/50cal.html - Boeing Wins $35B Tanker Contract
