The Glock or XD would be a good, less expensive choice; but all are great guns. For those two, you'll have to determine which feels better to you; the XD has a 1911-like grip angle whereas the Glock requires some bending of the wrist. I was a big Glock fan until I held a XD nearly seven years ago, at which point I much prefer it. Any reason you're stuck on .40 caliber? I've shot 'em and honestly have yet to figure out why they are such a popular choice with law enforcement agencies. I know they're derived from the 10mm the FBI thought was the answer after the 1986 Miami shootout where two Special Agent were killed and five injured in a confrontation with two serial bank robbers (who were also killed). Since the 10mm proved too hot a load for many officers, the .40 S&W was developed; but for me it incorporates the snappiness of a 9mm with nominal energy advantage. Plus a later FBI study showed that all factors (shot placement, etc) being equal, the advantage will always go to a larger round that creates the greatest wounding effect. Obviously it's personal choice, but I would like to hear your reasons if you're willing to share them. It's no biggie, I just don't own any .40 pistols and while I have shot them, I just have never understood their appeal. Cheers! M2

Wow, I've never seen that link before, it's pretty interesting. I'm surprised at the number of Lt Cols that are listed and the charges, or how many CMs are going on here at good ol' Lackland! Cheers! M2

SFGuy's post has been re-approved given Axle's acquital. I PM'd him about why it was temporarily unapproved and he understood. Sorry, but no. While it is OK for individuals to give advice on here; anyone needing true legal representation should contact a lawyer and not depend solely on what is recommended to them on an Internet forum (even this one). If you want to know more about the military legal system, I suggest reading The Military Commander and the Law. It contains everything most military personnel need to know about the UCMJ and military proceedings. Beyond that, you need to talk to a JAG/ADC/etc. Cheers! M2

Agreed, and I am curious as to how many Army personnel involved in this incident are facing a court martial as well...

So you know all the facts and are certain beyond a reasonable doubt that Capt Foley is guilty as charged? Please share this detailed knowledge with the rest of the forum as while it is tragic that Francis Campion died, most of us are not convinced Foley was responsible for his death.

Like I said, I am that fucking awesome!

You must not be able to see the word F U C K I N G !

OK, it's from 2008; but if you haven't seen Hank & Mike then you're missing one of the funniest low-budget comedies of recent years... Cheers! M2

Funny shit...

Doesn't anyone know how to UTFSF anymore?!?

Rain, you're never alone with a schizophrenic!

Should be fixed, let me know if it's not. By the way, was this an accident as well, or is there a bigger issue here that needs to be addressed? Also, do you want your display name to be back to 'Fury220'? It's an easy change. Lastly, how many accounts do you have? We need to get you back to just one. Cheers! M2

Figures it would be Dutch, we'd never have such a great safety video like that in this country... From the country right next to the country that brought you Cheers! M2

They should follow the lead of the Marines by providing detailed instructions and examples on how to haze someone!

WTF?

Seriously? This has someone's ass in a knot? I've got worse/better (depending on your perspective) nose art on my Jeep! And good-fucking-luck to anyone who tries to get me to remove it! Cheers! M2

Any variation of the name 'Wayne' isn't good, especially if it's a middle name...

If you haven't realized already, I am that fucking awesome! Cheers! M2

Try it now, I am pretty sure I got it set back to IP.Board. I changed your 'Skin Choice' under your profile back to that setting, don't ask me what the fuck it means, I just think I got it fixed. Cheers! M2
