But not the family of the British soldier?

Simply disheartening.

Unfortunately, that phrase has become one of the many totally ambiguous pieces of military jargon to be utilized at every opportunity.
Is this forum a "weapons system" ?

In general Hefes...two of my favorites:
Erdinger and Franziskaner

Erdinger is outstanding. We would survive on it when doing VP ops in Sarajevo. No Gen Ord 1 in Bosnia which was a welcome trip after 12 months of it in Kosovo.

Blount should be arrested for assault, there is plenty of evidence...
M2, I totally agree. Last time I checked 2 counts of assault, one including a police officer,(later in the vid) would land you in jail. Not to fault his technique of keeping his helmet on during the "fist" fight. Its amazing how if that same incident would happen outside the stadium how different the outcome would be. I am all for beating each other on the field, but there is a definite line of when it becomes unacceptable.(ie. when the game is over) I wont even get into the role model issue.

ABSOLUTELY! Anything brewed by Goose Island is GREAT! Just thinking about it makes me miss home. That and Leinie's. Get me out of the beer hell known as Oklahoma. Any state that restricts beer to 3.2% just 'aint right!
snizz,
Let me know if I can send any your way. Leinie's is a great backup.

Two favorite beers-
Free.
Cold.
The best is when you get both.

Taste is a plus, but you can argue when the price is right.

Guess I outta put down the Stella... Anyone like Pilsner Urquell? I wasn't much of a fan but a good friend of mine swore by it and Grolsch.
Oh and Terrapin sucks! I don't think anyone listed it but damn they have some nasty brews.
Pilsner Urquell is one of my favorites.
Macro:
Anything Free
Micro:
Spotted Cow (If you are ever in Wisconsin)

Bell's Oberon...anyone heard of it?
Delicious. Bells is top notch.

No need- they just implant malicious code in our thumb drives and our computer processors that do the work for them.
Exactly. Cyber espionage is very much running behind the scenes.

I agree that it has ZERO functionality. I only got one set for some recent PME and have never worn it since. It is garbage. I feel bad for the dudes who actually have to wear it on a daily basis.
How many times have we seen change for the sake of change? Does anyone out there remember when it was THREATCON? One day, we come to work and it now FPCON. The only thing that changed was the name. They then spent how many millions to change all of the signs and what not. Someone got promoted/bronzed starred for that. Fraud waste and what?
Word.
Lets not even get into the Army doing away with a perfectly good flight uniform. We don't want you pilots thinking your special in your green pajamas. Lets waste more money on three different patterns and numerous different approved T-shirts. Great OER/OPR bullet.

I am a prior Army Commissioned guy as well as a prior warrant. I just got hired with a C-130 unit in the area and was 5 years into my ADSO from flight school. NGB gave the OK for me to transfer and continue my ADSO with the AF. I was very forward with my command with what I was doing and that made the interview process a little easier. I am just finishing the paperwork process then looking forward to the FWQ course. Let me know if I can help.

I didnt answer your questions. You can re commission with NO OTS. I did it before I left the Army. There is no age waiver since you are already a rated pilot. I attached the reg regarding converting your Army wings to AF Rotor Only. The biggest step is finding a unit to hire you. I was close on several occasions, but finally I got hired. Hopefully this helps.

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!
Where in my post did I say it was truth? I merely asked a question in order to gain others opinions and I have yours. I would figure that the "Gun Talk" forum would be a place for such opinions. If you think that truth can be found on the internet I am wasting my breath. Thanks for the greeting though. What are you shooting these days besides your mouth?

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.
I merely posted an email I received. I am certainly not generating this crap. I hate forwards as much as the next guy. I figured this post would be an excellent place for this information to be confirmed or denied, since it is in fact the "Pistol and Rifle forum." Why get so emotionally invested?

Just received this email today. Ammo prices have certainly been fluctuating and perhaps this may explain why. What do you think?
Nobody can sell any ammunition after June 30, 2009.
It has already started... Ammunition Accountability Legislation.
Remember how Obama said that he wasn't going to take your guns? Well, it seems that his allies in the anti-gun world have no problem with taking your ammo! The bill that is being pushed in 18 states (including Illinois and Indiana) requires all ammunition to be encoded by the manufacture a data base of all ammunition sales. So they will know how much you buy and what calibers. Nobody can sell any ammunition after June 30, 2009 unless the ammunition is coded. Any privately held uncoded ammunition must be destroyed by July 1, 2011. (Including hand loaded ammo). They will also charge a .05 cent tax on every round so every box of ammo you buy will go up at least $2.50 or more!
If they can deprive you of ammo they do not need to take your gun!
This legislation is currently pending in 18 states: Alabama, Arizona, California, Connecticut, Hawaii, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Maryland, Mississippi, Missouri, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Washington.
Send to your friends in these states AND *fight* to dissolve

Is everything a "Weapons System?"

Hence the title of the topic.
I am going to have to go ahead and disagree with you there. (Bill Lumbergh style) The guy is simply a tool for calling the "runway" a weapons system. PA prep or not. Unfortunately, this issue isn't an isolated one and this will not be the last we hear of this misused phrase.
