One of our flight docs (who's an AME, too) just emailed us and told us to do just that - carry a 1042 in lieu of a medical. I don't know if that came to her through official channels or not, but I think that's what everyone expected to do.

Anything you've listed is a solid backpack rifle. But don't overlook an 18" 870 with Brenneke slugs. edit: Plus with a 12ga, you can load everything from dove shot to 3" slugs.

No.

Make sure you wear your poopy suit the entire crossing. It's required by the Vol 3.

The contrast in the way they fought war then and the way we do now has always amazed me. Bomb Germany or Paris and lose crews/aircraft by day, go to a movie or club in downtown London at night. In some ways his entries sound similar to how mine would sound if I kept a journal (brief, fly, land, sleep, do it again). But then he writes about how the Germans jammed their navaids to lure them into fighter traps and the similarities quickly vanish.

?? How does a plane with at least 4 radios lose control of all of them? Are they all routed through one computer/bus?

It gets substantial after a few years. ($600-800+/month)

Sounds like you need to volunteer for the UAVs, then. You could fly a brand new airplane, never emergency ground egress, never get shot at, never leave home, and STILL get flight pay. It'd be perfect, right?

BAM, BASH, and AHAS (links on the BaseOps homepage). One source is based on historic data and one is based on real time observations and radar. And bases have their own "Bird Watch Conditions" usually. Local regs determine what you can and can't do under different levels of bird activity. From ops normal to suspended ops. I think I remember that Little Rock made you fly higher on low-levels during certain bird conditions. I haven't seen any Falcon View integration, but it might be out there. It is integrated into a far more powerful program, however - Google Earth.

Definitely a 22. Marlin 60 is a good choice. Ruger 10/22 also a crowd favorite. The 10/22 will be more upgradeable in the future, if that matters. Marlin has other 22s, also - bolts and mag-fed. The tube mag on the 60 is alright, but a pain if you want to do Appleseed or similar shooting. If you want a little higher end, look at the Kimbers and Anschütz from CMP. https://www.thecmp.org/22targetsurplus.htm https://www.thecmp.org/22targetcommercial.htm

This is gonna get ugly.

It's whatever is allowed by the state. At Big Bend, it'd be concealed only because TX doesn't allow open. In the Wyoming part of Yellowstone, you could open carry.

You.

I'd be for it. Speaking of - I tried to PM you and it said you couldn't receive them so I emailed you through the forum form instead.

What I saw @ Elmo was hunting stuff for the long guns, a few revolvers, and the normal Glocks, XDs, tupperware pistols. They had a couple unique muzzleloaders (that aren't even firearms, but that's a different story altogether). I think AAFES charged a 5% surcharge, which effectively made their prices higher than off-base, where it's tax free anyway. Go check out Wild West and the other unique stores up there. If you go to Wild West, ignore the guy they call Ken. He's a real piece of work. Either way, skip the BX.

Must be a trend item of AAFES idiocy. The Elmo BX also told me it was federal law that they could not sell a long gun to an out-of-state resident.

Eh, I made a Nacho Libre joke, but it wasn't as funny in writing as it was in my head, so away it went.

Who?

Wait, is that inappropriate? What I meant to say was, I am very sorry to hear of his passing.

No, that is an old law. It's supposed to cover rent and bills "for the median member." https://www.defensetr.../BAH-Primer.pdf

Sheppard Air's database is 460-something now. I'm going to take the MCI test Monday. And for those that plan to take it in the near-ish future, you might want to go ahead and get it done by March 1st. After that, test prices - CATS and Lasergrade - go from $100 to $150.

Anyone know if Nightforce or US Optics or S&B give a mil discount on their optics like Leupold does? edit: How'd I end up with only 1 post? I haven't been on in a long time - I guess my previous posts went away.
