    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.
  3. 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: https://pimpmygun.doctornoob.com/ Attached is what my AR actual should look like once I buy the upper.
  6. 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...
  7. Because this is America: Woman who fall's in fountain while texting sues!!! https://news.yahoo.com/video/us-15749625/fountain-lady-nobody-went-to-my-aid-23909987 To bad she didn't drown...
  8. And yet a surprising amount of storage.
  9. 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: https://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!
  11. It's not that I don't wear it properly...it's that I don't wear it at all.

    I think this political cartoon is fairly accurate:
  13. StoleIt replied to VL-16's topic in Squadron Bar
    2 more states and DC to go IMO. And Arizona does issue CCW.
  14. StoleIt replied to a post in a topic in Squadron Bar
    Oh man. I am really disappointed in myself that I missed this. He passed away on Jan 2nd. (according to Wikipedia, actually not a lot of press out on this) Damn. RIP Sir.
  15. Whoooooooopsy!!! Yea, I fucked that one up. In an attempt to redeem myself: Chief would also not approve of this...
  16. 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
  17. 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.
  18. That bolded part is just the icing on the cake! And yes ROTC has changed...for the worse.
  19. StoleIt replied to VL-16's topic in Squadron Bar
    Tell me about it. Stooopid Illinois!
  20. Half a Wing, Three Engines and a Prayer: B-17s over Germany Brian O'Neill Great read!
  21. 2...011!

    Wasn't that scene where they were preparing to rescue Woody?
  23. StoleIt replied to B*D*A's topic in Squadron Bar
    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.
  24. 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.
  25. 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.
