  1. If one returns the signed agreement while one is deployed to a combat zone, would that person receive the lump sum tax-free? Based on the wording, there is some debate in our office.
  2. They still getting HFP/CZTE out there?
  3. When I return from a forthcoming deployment I'm going to build an AR pistol around the new Sig brace. I've been on the fence for a while, but this review on an upcoming tube made for the brace has me excited about an essentially legal non-NFA SBR. http://sigforum.com/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/630601935/m/5570079063 I'm thinking 10.5" LWRC IC upper on the Odin lower. Also possible I'll try the Sig 556 10" pistol. I've got some time to chew it over. Anyone with experience using the Sig brace? I've seen plenty of YouTube videos and read reviews, but never gotten to hold one myself.
  4. Talk to me about Lagavulin: how smokey/peaty is it? Any other flavor or just the smoke? I tried to like the Laphroaig 18 but it's too much. The 10 wasn't palatable at all. That said, JW double black is a fairly smooth and decent tasting smokey whiskey. How does Lagavulin compair? All that said, Glendronach Allerdice 18 is the new hotness on my shelf.
  5. yea, sounds like it! Thanks for the info gents. If I press that direction I may hit up hercdude for more specifics.
  6. Anyone been here recently and can speak to living conditions, etc.?
  7. My ARP request just shows submitted status but it's been over 30 days. Any idea what this means?
  8. Some people are soft, that's true everywhere. I've met ground dudes who've never engaged or been engaged yet still claimed PTSD for the stress of running convoys. And who am I to judge? I'm not a psychologist. I like robot drivers, I just thought the article was ridiculous and humorous.
  9. http://www.foxnews.com/health/2014/08/22/drone-pilots-suffer-ptsd-just-like-those-in-combat/?intcmp=obnetwork I'll just leave this here.
  10. How does that ratio compare to last year? Seems like there were only a few alternate slots for candidates last year; slim pickings.
  11. Your assessment differs with all the others I've heard. Where are you getting your data? Overall I disagree with your opinion of the situation; but truthfully there's a lot no one knows since our collection networks disappeared after the withdrawal. So I'm interested to hear other view points, but I'm approaching yours with skepticism.
  12. I recommend an exemption clause for some of us...... Otherwise I'm in big trouble.
  13. http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2014/08/08/us-military-launches-airstrikes-on-terror-targets-in-iraq/ Fights on!
  14. All kidding aside-- If you can't imagine calling crew rest deployed, than your imagination is small. Pushing it up to support a TIC or strike? Good on you, until you pass your own limits and make mistakes; then you're doing more harm than good. There's a balance between dogmatically following rules and habitually blowing them off. I've been fortunate enough to have leadership who recognized that and taught me judgement. Hope you guys are the same.
  15. Fozzy, here's how I remember the difference: FDP is the one we sometimes violate. CDD is the one we always violate. Have fun out there!
  16. Yup, concur. Conversely, we're also engaging and killing the enemy in places where we aren't authorized CZTE. The whole system is a mess.
  17. My new favorite scotch. Highly recommend.
  18. I was just trying to update your post, hope it didn't come off wrong.
  19. Maybe you should read my post again since I did not say anything you are attributing to me. I don't know whether or not we have had a net positive affect based on the wars. I certainly didn't say anything about our "homeland" and responding to somebody with quotation marks about something they didn't say is a foul. We have had the wrong strategy, based on a faulty understanding of the nature of our enemy which has lead us astray. That said, I do genuinely believe the named objectives we're fighting are terrible people and I would rather spend my time hunting them than flying for the airlines.
