  1. Eventually it shuts down and is a paperwight until it cools. Shows a message about thermal something-or-other.
  2. My last base had stuff like this: https://www.furnitureforlabs.com/series.asp?idCategoryID=13&idSeriesID=41 Google "lab furniture" and you'll get lots of stuff.

    Do you actually want the 45 ACP or just a double action revolver? 45 ACPs will require moon clips, which can be a plus or minus. I personally don't like dealing with them. I've got a 357 Ruger GP100 (6" stainless) that I'll never sell. (Wolff springs really help, too.) S&W's 686 is equally worthwhile if you like the 357. Then of course there's the bonus of shooting (relatively) cheap 38s all the way to the Buffalo Bore 180gr 357s when you need the power.
  4. Yep. Call up your education center and demand they enroll you, a brand new 1Lt, in the Capt PME. They'll do it. (or maybe you look at the requirements for SOS... just a thought)

    I chose the Accupoint 1-4 for that niche. I like it better than a 1x with a magnifier.
  6. Thankfully I'll be done before it changes, as no good can come from this. It seems each iteration of AU's brainchildren is more painful than the last. ETA: Here's the blurb. Hmm.. simulation. Sounds exciting!
  7. USAFA site says newbies report tomorrow as scheduled, but to the field house instead of Doolittle. Sounds like they'll go as usual in the cadet area for now.

    XDses are out! Go get ya one. https://www.gunsamerica.com/985493839/Guns/Pistols/Springfield-Armory-Pistols/XDs/NEW_SPRINGFIELD_XDS_XD_S_45ACP_PST_3_3B_5RD.htm
  9. News conference from the zoo starting any minute. https://www.kktv.com/video/live
  10. KKTV has live streaming. Looks devastating, to put it lightly. https://www.kktv.com/video/live
  11. If it's true at all, therein lies the catch. The cases where a wife had to live separate must be the tiny minority. Most guys (like ASUPilot) are doing it completely by choice (better job, schools, not Cannon, whatever).
  12. Your ability or inability to fly gliders means very little. I've seen glider IPs do very well at UPT and I've seen them do mediocre. There are similarities, but they're limited. I wouldn't hire you to be a soaring IP with that resume, but I also wouldn't necessarily turn you down for UPT 3 years from now based solely on 10 flights in a glider. Go pay for a few hours at the aeroclub (if they still have it) or downtown. See how you do there. Maybe you won't even like it - better to find out now than after your dollar ride.
  13. Using your GI Bill for yourself while AD is the least effective way to use it (i.e. it's worth the least), but if you don't have any kids to give it to or don't want to use it after you get out, then go for it. I used mine for one class while active and then I crunched the numbers, realized I was retarded for doing that, and paid out of pocket the rest of the time.
  14. Wow. Just wow.
  15. Steve, I'm sure the UK could handle anything medically that the US could, but the Air Force doesn't necessarily have arrangements with every specialist that a family might need. No specialist when one's required = family not cleared. For example, if a child needed their teeth cleaned, they would have to be medevac'd back to the US for treatment.

    You gonna try to pocket carry it or IWB? It's been mentioned before in the thread, but look at the Crossbreed SuperTuck. Mine carries a Combat Commander (substantially larger and heavier than your Shield) comfortably. The Shield is on my buy-when-I-get-home list and it'll ride in the SuperTuck. Ask for their mil discount, too.
  17. Wrong. It'll suppress flash, too, but that's a silencer/suppressor.
  18. You start thinking, "That guy in 11F is NOT 170 pounds."

    That's why competition is so awesome. There's several other quality levergun smiths just waiting for your business. Maybe they'll get my money instead. https://www.grizzlycustom.com/packages_custom_lever_action_rifle.html https://www.brockmansrifles.com/lever_action.asp

    I agree with the last part - I walked in one day and the employee named Ken was a complete asshat. I hoped it was just him - maybe it's a company culture.

    Here's the takedown I want! https://wildwestguns.com/copilot.html
  22. Kinda kills the effect when you misspell a word. I'm not sayin...
  23. Maybe they'll help you here: https://www.au.af.mil/au/aul/lane.htm
  24. Surely a troll would troll about something cooler than awards.
