You should post pics of your Fiance' before we can give you good advice...

Easy fix. Make squadrons reimburse servicemembers for excess leave whenever they PCS with more than 60 days accrued. Don't fund squadrons for said leave reimbursement. Bosses will start liking alot more leave plans.

If I had your gucci lav, I'd do all kinds of reading in there.

Your assumption that my friend was a pilot was incorrect. I left out the fact that he was a support guy due to the inevitable spears that would be thrown. You don't know me. Since I was both enlisted and officer support prior to becoming a pilot I have a deep understanding and respect for those functions and the people performing them. I also understand the weaknesses inherent in that culture. Leave is an entitlement authorized by congress. It should be used to keep the military member's personal and professional life in balance. How you use it should be determined by you and your boss within the rules congress and your service have set. If your boss doesn't like your plan, he can always say no, but that's between you and him.

What good is the stupid thing if it isn't charged?

I recommend you focus on using iron sights before jumping on the RDS bandwagon. Daniel Defense and Troy both make great front and rear sights. Since your rifle has a railed gas block... Troy makes a front sight specific for mounting on gas blocks, since a gas block is not in the same plane as the rail on your upper receiver. https://troyind.com/ https://danieldefense.com/ If you do go the red dot route, I recommend an Aimpoint over an EoTech. I have an Aimpoint Comp M4s and an EoTech 512. In the grand scheme of things, either company's product will serve you well, but the Aimpoint is superior in durability, battery life, and functionality. I do like the reticle better on the EoTech, however. I don't have any advice to give on magnified optics since I don't run them on my AR-15s. Your barrel is 1:9 twist, so it should run well with bullet weights up to and including 69gr. Anything above that, and the bullet might keyhole after it's left the barrel. This is due to stabilization. Both of my rifles are 1:7 twist, and I've had great success with 55gr FMJ ammo from Wolf and the ubiquitous XM193. There are some who don't like Wolf, but it's cheap, and it works. Both of those attributes keep me shooting. There are other bullet types to explore from varmint loads to bullet types designed for social encounters (soft point and open tip match). The following links are threads posted by Dr. Gary Roberts, a former Navy ballistician. https://pistol-forum.com/showthread.php?4344-5-56-mm-Duty-Loads https://pistol-forum.com/showthread.php?4343-5-56-mm-55-gr-M193-Terminal-Performance-Thoughts MX on AR-15s is no more difficult than on an AK type rifle. Many regard the AR -15 as unreliable, which is untrue. Keep you bolt and bolt carrier lubricated and you won't have trouble for thousands of rounds, assuming it is an AR-15 built by a quality manufacturer. You can clean the chamber, bore, bolt, bolt carrier, and the insides of the upper and lower every thousand rounds or so if you're anal about keeping the rifle clean. This should take 15 minutes at the most. Don't over clean your bore. I would run a brush once... maybe twice down the bore (chamber to muzzle) followed by a few patches to pick up the extra carbon. https://www.slip2000.com/blog/s-w-a-t-magazine-filthy-14/ ETA: On closer inspection of the picture of the S&W ORC, it does appear that the gas block is in the same plane as the upper receiver, which would negate the need for the special height front sight. I would confirm this with S&W though. ETA2: Quoted wrong person.

I would like to see the entire F-15E community baseline pod upgraded from LANTIRN to Sniper first. Def don't need a pod to do a show of force, but watching the video afterwards can result in good intell or great comedy as the iraq's (looting a HMMWV) run into oncoming traffic...think live action frogger. Cheers, Cap-10

Are you effing kidding me? We're almost 11 years into one war, have already started and closed out another one in that time, and NOW some genius decides dudes at a FOB deserve more pay than someone at the Deid. Awesome.

Who was that that said "all Tebow does is win"? Bacause I think he just lost, let me check. Yep, loser.

https://FunnyOrDie.com/m/6coz There is a Jab at Tebow in there. Why do people seem to hate Tebow and his I'm better than everyone else because I pray crap? Because he is a fucking fagot. He went to UF for crying out loud, what more do you need. (Comment not directed at, nor does it apply to M2, I heard UF was a great school in the 60's) Being a homo and letting everyone know it is the exact same thing as praying in public. Prof: Tebow prays in public and is a homo. How do I know this, because Tebow rhymes with Homo... Tebow Homo Homo Tebow. Even Romo is a homo, can't argue with that. The few idiots that do like this guy, only like because he is winning. Same reason you see all the GB fans all the sudden. If you want to idolize Tebow go ahead, but I hope you realize in the next few years you will be seeing his mug shot on TV when he is caught with a dead trany hooker in the trunk, or caught at the rest stop soliciting a male prostitute. I know this will happen because it is always what happens to the super religious wear it on my sleeve types. Oh, and yes, I would rather my kids hang out with Ben Roethlisberger and Ray Lewis any day. At least they will grow up knowing how to fight, screw hot chicks and stab people. Better than learning how to pray and pound ass.
