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.

More Uniform Changes!
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.

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...

All-Seeing Blimp Could Be Afghanistan’s Biggest Brain

All-Seeing Blimp Could Be Afghanistan’s Biggest Brain
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.

It's not that I don't wear it properly...it's that I don't wear it at all.

An NROTC cadet performs well in a Grumman aircraft
Yea he was infact an Ensign when the event happened. -First carrier landing on June 7, 1950 "That same week he would advance from the rank of Midshipman to Ensign" "By the end of the month, Armstrong and the Essex were headed for Korea..." (Source: Neil Armstrong: One Giant Leap for Mankind) -Flight incident occurred on September 3, 1951

My personal favorite "sector" lever on an Ar: But we all know this Chief would article 15 someone for Conduct on Becoming if he saw this.

I recommend it. I saw the original a very long time ago and didn't remember much. But Legacy was a great movie. I'd recommend seeing it in 3D.

Object shot out of sky above Israeli nuclear plant, military says
Aliens have deactivated British and US nuclear missiles, say US military pilots, Israel was obviously next. And the aliens are (of course) okay with Chinese, Russian, N Korean, and Iranian nukes.

Ordering Patches (name, morale, fun meter)
Just some reviews: Patches R Us (https://www.patchesrus.com/) Made custom "unit" patches with this company and was very pleased. I would recommend this to anyone at IFS since they seemed to have the quickest turn around out of any company (priority shipping is also critical in that case). Mardon Co (https://www.mardonco.com/) Have used them twice for ordering name tag's and they have jacked up the order both times. The first email you send them needs to be 100% accurate, because in my dealings they never seem to look at subsequent emails with changes even though they will reply to them. They charge less per name tag than most other places, but have pretty steep fees for custom designs. So if you are going with an established patch they have done before then it's a decent deal. Av8tr Stuff (https://www.av8rstuff.com) Ordered morale patches from them. Shipped quickly and recommended. Mil-Spec Monkey (https://milspecmonkey.com/) Ordered morale patches and just random stuff. Most of their stuff is Army/ACU oriented though. Shipped quickly and recommended. Also provide links to other companies that sell morale patches. Name Tags 4 U (https://www.nametags4u.com/) Talking to them now about a custom name tag order. I will post back with results.
