It's not NFA/Class III if the flash hider is pinned to make the overall length 16".

Where were you 7 years ago?!?!? Too much work, but more importantly, too much $$$$. They raised their prices every damn year.

Military Discounts
Let me revive this thread with a few more discounts and a question. Discounts if you ask for them. I've been on a gun-buying and modifying kick recently. Nightforce Optics - 10-20% US Optics - 10% Seekins Precision - 10% Leupold - varies Brownell's - varies Bud's Police Supply Anyone know if Galco gives discounts? I'd like to get their M9 VHS for my next vacation. ETA: Nope. No soup for you from Galco.

I'm surprised you haven't seen these yet... they're on a Mosin site! (Last plans on the page.) https://7.62x54r.net/MosinID/MosinRacks04.htm

6.8 is cheaper at Silver State Armory. Not 5.56 cheap but it's not all 25/box.

I built a 6.8 with White Oak parts. It's been reliable and accurate, but I can't speak to its lethality yet as the deer seem to avoid me when I have it with me. Kotonics went out of business a while ago. They had a problem where the chrome lining in some of their barrels was too thick and was causing overpressure. They did their best to fix it, but went bankrupt trying to make things right. $825 isn't a bad price. If you get it and find pressure signs, worst case scenario you could rebarrel it with something from this guy and be good to go. https://www.ar15performance.com/6_8_arp

Short answer: I'd get my resume in order and cut expenses.

Tax info
This was mentioned in past tax threads, but Taxslayer is free for mil and isn't limited to the 1040EZ. For those of us without rental properties and all that, it's pretty slick.

I've got a Zanotti and I like it a lot. I bought it expressly for ease of moving and because I don't know the floor plan of my next houses. I don't want to get a safe that works in this house and next time I have to leave it in the garage. Assembly took two guys, but was easy overall. Make sure you ask for their military discount. As always, buy bigger than you think you'll need - you'll magically fill it up.

Force Management in NDAA
So if you retired right at 15 years (180 months), then you'd get 35% pay? Doesn't sound altogether like a bad deal, especially if the healthcare is unchanged. You can get out at ~37 instead of ~42, and might be more marketable. And for those going to the airlines, that's 5 more years of seniority.

CSO vs. NFO
Literature? No, but I'm a Whiting IP and we've had multiple NFOs come through as students in the last year.

IFS (Initial Flight Screening) information
Yes and no. They're loggable because you can put whatever you want in your logbook. I would put them in mine. However, they're only usable towards a private certificate if you have all the right endorsements/signatures from the CFI that gave you the training. Since you don't have that, you're kinda SOL as I doubt they're gonna do the legwork for you to get that.

- AF Light Air Support Aircraft
Can't say I'm shocked. We'd get more use out of a light attack aircraft than we ever will get out of the -22 or-35, but the program will never see the light of day as long as Congress doesn't see the benefit. https://www.avweb.com...tml?CMP=OTC-RSS- Operating IMC in a MOA
Big Blue could definitely learn a thing or two from the Navy about VFR ops. They might even start stocking these crazy things called "sectionals" in the pubs room. - AF Light Air Support Aircraft
