Re: Oh no! The media are trying to understand firearms again
I saw this one elsewhere already. I made sure to point out to my friends that it's not just pointing to the wrong part, but the bayonet lug is cut off entirely in that image.

Re: US Giving Drone Fleet To Afghanistan ?
I'm betting there are now a few National Guard unit commanders that are now excitedly jumping up and down that they are finally being allowed to cycle their 30 year old UAVs out of their inventory...

Re: 3-D Built Guns Worry Activist
Isn't using a 3-D printer to make a Paris Hilton overkill? She's not much thicker than a sheet of paper anyway, so you may as well just save your money and use a regular ol' 2-D printer!

Re: What is a good plan to get in excellent shape for the AP
2 Mile: Haven't attempted yet. ( How can I find somewhere that is exactly two miles? ) Your high school track is most likely 1/4 mile a round on the inner lane. So, 8 laps. Even if it's constructed to a metric 400m rather than U.S. standard 440 yards, the difference is inconsequential for your purp...

Re: Introduction-Cooper
Welcome, Cooper! You definitely learned a lesson here, but as the Rangers here will tell you repeatedly, Never Quit ! Learn from your mistakes (all of them, not just this particular instance), move on, and don't repeat them. As you've now painfully learned, MEPS doctors are: A. Typically are not the...

Re: The knife in the Ranger logo?
While I obviously can't speak for the designer of the logo (may he rest in peace), in military heraldry, an up-turned dagger represents self-sacrifice.

Unofficial MWR opportunity for JBLM servicemembers
Like loud music and/or moshing? Sick and tired of coming back to the barracks smelling like a paper mill? Sick of paying out the ass for parking in Seattle? Pay little ol' Bremerton a visit on Saturday, 14 July, for Oasis Fest 2012 (Facebook Event) ! 19 Bands for $7! Pay at the door. OK... enough of...

Re: I wonder how much truth is behind this? RFID chip & Nati
It supposedly came from Ron Paul, who I respect and support, but maybe he really is a wacko. Snopes said it isn't true, but they're also left wing sympathizers. I like some of his ideas (mainly budgetary stuff), but every once in awhile he seems to get a little loopy and goes off the deep end. I'm ...

Here is the pdf file for the bill in its entirety. http://www.ncsl.org/documents/health/ppaca-consolidated.pdf From what I can tell there is no "Subtitle C-11, Section 2521", or a page 1004, but I haven't looked at all 904 pages of the file yet. I'll keep ya posted. Thanks for the link, D...

Re: Check out a project me and my old FSO are working on
I spent the weekend in WA. with Griff. It's a pretty exciting time for us, watching something we've been working on grow. Seattle times wrote about us! http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/sundaybuzz/2018564738_sundaybuzz01.html Now, you just need the Seattle Weekly to do a review on them about ho...

Re: Amen.
One of the arguments I've seen the libtards spouting is "he would then have the right to defend [her], and hit him enough to have him stop" (Link to Foxnews) . The whole problem of this line of thought is that one has to be well-trained on how to subdue someone without killing them. Being ...

Re: Despite Crash, Ties Strong Between SOF, Conventional Avi
The basic design of the H-47 might be old, but the airframes aren't neccessarily old--the assembly line still occasionally runs. I've also heard that the Vietnam-era issues of them leaking hydrolic fluid like a sive have largely been eliminated. The avionics in the current birds are also (relatively...
