Fair enough, but I think it can/should be resolved by the JAG before it need to go any higher. But given how such trivial shit commonly gets completely blown out of hand, I understand how it would be a good idea...

Sorry, but I don't see getting anyone's sqn/cc involved, this is not a UCMJ issue and the JAGs can sort it out. If not, then it goes to civil court or some other arbitrator. I think SCRA has got ya covered, but definitely talk with the folks at the legal office. It's what they're there for! Cheers! M2

Great advice all around. If I may add, make a concerted effort to meet as many Brits as you can. They are really a great people, friendly with a good (albeit sometimes wierd) sense of humor. I enjoyed not only being stationed there, but the couple of trips I've been able to make back. If it were more affordable, and I could have my guns for sporting purposes, I'd seriously consider moving back! Enjoy your assignment, and don't waste a second of it as it will go by quickly! Cheers!

No shit, eh? That's cool. We were out in the Texas Hill Country last weekend and that song was on the radio, it'd been years since I last heard it so I looked it up on U-tube which is where I found the vid. Most of these types of videos bomb, but this one was pretty funny. Props to your buds for making old guy laugh...

But I'm betting Butters will still bitch about it! And quit posting like a chick. It's bad enough when Butters does it...

WTF is up with you lately? Tebow ain't doing too bad either!

Sorry, typo, he's 7' 8.5" and at one point considered the tallest man in the world. Break. break. Why do I suspect there is at least one person from BaseOps in this video? And it's not me... Maybe a 'WTF?' but also kinda funny for the few of us that were actually around when Journey released this song!

The media is claiming otherwise... And speculation is that it is North Korean basketball star Ri Myung Hun, who is 7' 8.5" (about a half inch shorter than than the tallest known male in the world (鲍喜顺) who is "only" 7 ft 9 in). But even in these pics, "Michael" Hun (as he likes to be called, after Michael Jordan) doesn't appear nearly as tall as the "soldier" in the picture.... But those may be other NK basketball players with him, so the difference would not be as noticeable!

OK folks, a little OPSEC lesson here...discussing security vulnerabilities at bases on this forum. All posts in this thread concerning such matters have been deleted, and anyone who feels the need to continue talking about how security works (and doesn't) at any location will be victim of the ban hammer. Last warning, read and THINK about what you post before hitting the 'submit' button! Feel free to PM me if you have any questions, but be smart and do so BEFORE you post something that may be an OPSEC violation!

Just an update, as it is rolling up on two years since I got this flashlight. It still works great, the battery (a CR123) lasts a long time (I think I've replaced it once, twice at the most) and with the exception of a few small scratches (I'm tough on it), it looks new. I've also picked out a couple iNova 24/7s, which are very versatile. I keep one in the Jeep and another attached to the outside of my daily bug out bag (along with the above iTP SC1 Eluma). I like the different options, from low to bright white light, red light (again, for night vision), an SOS flash, a multi-colored strobe and a slow, alternating two-color flash. There is also a very slow, dim flash mode so you can use it to mark a location in very dark conditions. Good shit! Cheers! M2

Dig it! BADGE OF HONOR: 100 MISSIONS UP NORTH

I think this has been posted before, but it's worth another look... This would be good for a gun safety course. Oh, and before anyone asks, I am not featured anywhere in this video (but there are a few hot chicks in it! ) Cheers! M2

Well, I just remembered this but since there doesn't seem to be any interest in continuing this discussion on SIPRNET; I'm not going to bother unless someone requests otherwise... Cheers! M2

Remember this? The American general "allowed" a foreign officer to be within his own regulations? What bullshit! This, gentlemen, is how it is done!

My vote for post of the week!

Apparantly they cause morale to increase and other unwanted effects...

Knock off the debate and stick to the topic...

Well, I did have a lot of catching up to do...

Hey! Wait a sec! Was that a jab at me?!?

While the article states otherwise, I am pretty sure that was an earlier photo. As far as I can remember, Olds kept his mustache until he returned to the States. The one time I met Olds, I asked what ever happened to it; and he told me that when he reported to the CSAF the latter pointed at it and told him to get rid of it... Cheers! M2 p.s. Looks like Olds' book (pg 342) and Wikipedia confirm the story...

Here's a pic of my Webleys... They're great revolvers with a lot of history behind 'em... Cheers! M2

A good review, but I'm still not convinced it's worth the money... T-bonez Is your Webley shaved or still in .455? I've got one that's 95%+ that I paid a pretty penny for a few years back, but it was still in .455 and I had to get it. I've since picked up a pathetic Mk IV that some bozo scrubbed all the bluing off, but I felt I owed it to the poor thing to give it a good home. I've contemplated rebluing it, but honestly I think that would screw it up even further. I will love it as it is... Cheers! M2

T-bonez Sweet Python, I've got an early one (actually a 1954 pre-Python with a four-digit serial number) that was my Dad's. I love it, but I picked up a Ruger GP100 for when I have to scratch that .357 itch. It's worth too much to me to shoot on a regular basis, but I have shot it (as has my son) and now it's locked away someplace safe. When I have taken that pistol to the range it always draws attention. It's not only the sheer 'percussion' caused by the round (you can literally feel it several feet away) but also impact it makes both on the target and the dirt berm behind it! It is easy to understand why it was the first choice of lawmen for so long! Cheers! M2 p.s. This just came up for sale in Houston, $1300 is the F2F asking price. Tempting, but it does have some rust already setting in (see photos below) so I'm gonna pass...
