Shadow Tanker Fleet
Certainly chance for a spark, but Russia doesn't seem to want a fight over it - at least not yet. They were escorting the one we captured last week (referenced in the twz article) and just watched and asked for humane treatment of the crew. Maybe if we seize more than 8/1000 they'll start to fight.

Right, but if my ears aren't physically damaged, I have a better chance of bouncing back quickly. I've certainly experienced the auditory exclusion while hunting and overseas. I can't do a lot in the moment to stop that, but I can avoid breaking my tiny ear hairs. The ones on the inside. Not the outside.

300BO with subs and suppressor. Ballistically similar to 45ACP at short range (superior at longer ranges) with less recoil than a blowback action. Hopefully allow me to talk to my wife and kids and cops immediately afterwards without temporary or permanent hearing damage.

That's not the physics at play. The bullet is its fastest at the muzzle. The difference is the SD has a ported barrel to bleed gas and energy so it makes the 115s subsonic at the muzzle. My Thompson Machine 10-22 integrally suppressed barrel is the same way. The distance of the target doesn't matter. You don't hear the crack of the 115s into the dirt from the other two simply because the pressure wave doesn't get back to your ear. It's still there. Porting clearly visible here to make 115s subsonic:

Of course we're zero help, but if I had to pick one child, er, MP5, it'd be the shorter one. 9mm isn't going to need the longer barrel. The increase is minimal and I'd rather save the several inches for the suppressor and keep it more compact. I think Zenith has a couple shorties. 4 and 5 or something. Between those, I would take the longer 5", but not the 8-9" options.

You said "children." So that means you have more than one? And I'm sure you love each one in their own way. They're very similar, but one's a little shorter than the other? They're different, but both very special to you, and there's no way you could choose one over the other and having multiple enriches your life. I know I could never choose just one. Child, that is. Of course.

Commanders are dropping like flies this year
And young guys should take notice. Don't sacrifice your forever family for an organization that will drop you without a second thought. Work hard at your trade. Take care of your people. But remember none of your AF leadership will attend your funeral. It's not personal, it's just business. Treat it accordingly.

I thought about cropping the dudes out of the picture in my reply, but then thought, nah, we'll see where they take this.
