  1. The bad thing is the holiday is OFFICIALLY George Washington's birthday. President's Day is a term used by some state governments and the more common term but according to the federal government it is officially known as George Washington's Birthday. The NAACP can b1tch and moan all they want... this holiday isn't about the current president or any other president besides our first. A draft of the Uniform Holidays Bill of 1968 would have renamed the holiday to Presidents' Day to honor both Washington and Lincoln, but this proposal failed in committee and the bill as voted on and signed into law on June 28, 1968 kept the name Washington's Birthday.
  2. "Our troops have fought valiantly there, but Iraq has deprived them of the support they need — and deserve. As a result, parts of Afghanistan are falling into the hands of the Taliban, and a mix of terrorism, drugs and corruption threatens to overwhelm the country. As president, I would deploy at least two additional brigades to Afghanistan to re-enforce our counterterrorism operations and support NATO's efforts against the Taliban." -Barack Obama Aug 1, 2007 His stance on Afghanistan (not to be confused with Iraq) has always been to put more troops on the ground. Are your memories that bad? To much bong resin in the cranium?

    Because posting crap and propagating it as the truth is lazy. A search on the google machine and .69 seconds later you would've seen that it was a dead issue. Good job and welcome to the board!

    YAWN yet another MYTH; Why don't you people who are so gullible do a little research on this before propagating falsehoods. The Ammunition Accountability Act is real, but the e-mail is a hoax. All sponsored AAA Legislation came up in 2007 and 2008 and none even made it to a vote. Here is what happened to AAA legislation in the 18 states it came up: Alabama Senate Bill 541: It was indefinitely postponed in House of origin. It will not pass and would have to be reintroduced. Arizona House Bill 2833: It never got heard in any committee. Never voted on. It would have to be reintroduced. California Senate Bill 997: SB997 has no Info on it, and died in committee. SB1471 passed and is now known as the "Crime Gun Identification Act of 2007." It was authored by Assemblymember Mike Feuer (D-Los Angeles) and was signed by Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger. You can read the final bill here. The bill is in regard to handguns and microstamping, not ammunition. It also has no wording in it that would indicate that citizens would need to turn in their guns. It could also be rendered moot depending on the technology. It is not a part of the AAA agenda. Connecticut Raised Bill 603: The bill was raised and had a public hearing. No action was taken. Bill would need to be re-introduced. Hawaii House Bill 2392, Hawaii Senate Bill 2020, Hawaii Senate Bill 2076: All bills were deferred to the judiciary with no further action taken. Bill would need to be reintroduced. Illinois House Bills 4258, 4259, 4269, 4349. Illinois Senate Bill 1095: All bills referred to Rules Committee. No other actions were taken. Indiana House Bill 1260: Was sent to committee and not acted on again. It would need to be reintroduced. Kentucky House Bill 715: Was withdrawn. Maryland House Bill 517: No copy of the report. It didn't pass. Would need to be reintroduced. Mississippi Senate Bill 2286: Died in Committee. Missouri Senate Bill 1200: Referred to Judiciary. Would need to be reintroduced. New Jersey Assembly Bill 2490: Referred to Assembly Law and Public Safety Committee. Would need to be reintroduced. Pennsylvania House Bill: Referred to the Judiciary on Feb. 5, 2008. No other action taken. Rhode Island Senate Bill 2742: Committee recommended measure be held for further study. It would need to be reintroduced. South Carolina Senate Bill 1259: Was referred to a subcommittee with no further action taken. Would need to be reintroduced. Tennessee House Bill 3245, Tennessee Senate Bill 3395: Both were sent to the judiciary committee with no other action taken. Would need to be reintroduced. Washington House Bill 3359: Was referred to the Judiciary with no other action taken. Would need to be reintroduced. Conclusion: The Ammunition Accountability Act (AAA) was introduced in 18 state legislatures in 2007 and 2008. It didn't pass in any form nor even make it to a vote. California's "Crime Gun Identification Act of 2007" does not involve ammunition and is not part of the AAA. While the e-mail points out that the bills are "pending," that is false. No AAA bills are currently pending from the list the AAA Web site provided. The AAA made little to no headway in 2007 or 2008, and there is no reason to believe it would in 2009, if it were to be reintroduced, which as of yet it hasn't. The AAA e-mail has gained traction due to fears by gun owners that it was something new, and that Obama has a part in it somehow, which he doesn't. While concerned gun owners could keep an eye out for future AAA bills, at this point, the issue is a non-issue. The e-mail is a politically motivated hoax.

    So I've basically have talked the wife into getting a pistol and have settled on the Springfield XD .45ACP; Cabella's and Bass Pro Shop near here both have the gun for $575. Had the wife handle it (sts) and she felt comfortable with the weight and liked the safety features (grip safety, loaded chamber indicator, etc). My question is should I try to save a hundred bucks by buying used off of gunbroker.com or go with new?
  8. Thanks, that's what I was assuming... but I also would of assumed they would take their rides on a more passenger friendly aircraft like a C17 or 130.
  9. Is a flight surgeon common aircrew on the buff or ?? Excuse my ignorance...
  10. I see 4chan is slowly making it's way onto baseops...
  11. Another ninja... apparently he couldn't find his matching black death glove. WTF happened to this guy? Apparently he's turning to sand and blowing away in the wind.
  12. Admit it... you've gone out with a chick like this
  13. Whoever is running the site went through some lengths to hide themselves. They used a company called Domains by Proxy to purchase the website through GoDaddy thereby hiding themselves.
  14. It always amazes me how gullible some people can be... anyone who thought this was some factual reporting seriously needs to get a f#cking clue... and please get out of the military. I certainly don't want to be serving side by side with anyone dumb enough to get sucked into crap like this.
  15. Reread the very first paragraph of that article... it is you who are in fact misrepresenting the article. How is THAT taking something out of context? Slashing spending does not equal redistributing spending.
  16. Odd that the Pentagon advisory board came out with the need to cut the defense budget back in November last year but Bush refused to act on it instead passing it off to Obama to take care of. Pentagon board says cuts are essential
  17. Notice there hasn't been any posts by Tracer since the first one? My guess is Tracer Tong wore his blues pants, which got him hooked up with a Playboy caliber, bisexual woman who is addicted to sex and has kept him in bed the past few days. She's probably already invited over her best friends to have a threesome with him and to keep him occupied while making him a sandwich. Just a theory...
  18. LOL this is the type of kid who gets a Mercedes for a graduation present and bitches that it's not a Porsche.
  19. Geez! The lifeguards need a day off from their taxing jobs as well!
  20. These CBTs are cake and actually keep your interests compared to the two FEMA Incident Command CBTs I just completed... holy crap talk about some dry stuff. Unfortunately CTRL D didnt work for them.
  21. I've never had any problems with seasonal allergies in the desert... but in the states during the month of May I'm a complete train wreck. If you're that worried about it maybe you should see your Doc and get a steroid shot just prior to deploying.
  22. We could only wish they would kick us out. That would be this board's wet dream. But then they'd just move the BS to some other spot and start fresh.
