Good morning at the gun show, the C&R makes it too easy to pick up great deals but it's worth it. I got a 1926 Tula (which has "Foremost Ordnance Factory [of the] USSR at Tula" in Cyrillic on the receiver) ex-Dragoon 91/30 with brass end caps for $125, and a 1915 Nagant M1895 "Peter the Great" also for $125. Pics to follow, first I have to update my ledger; but like I said, it was a great morning!

At least there's a nice little executive golf course at Dahlgren! Maybe someone will smack her upside her cranium with a golf ball, the arrogant bitch!

Not sure about deployments, but the retirement reg is AFI 36-3203, Service Retirements...

Hey, keep my good name out of this! p.s. Things that slow in Omahaha?

Here's the "official" gouge... So I shot our IA Manager an email, and got this response... So I had to look up HBSS (Host Based Security System, or Hank's Buffered Salt Solution, could be either as far as I know) and DAR (Data At Rest, as defined by the DoD Policy Memorandum “Encryption of Sensitive Unclassified Data at Rest on Mobile Computing Devices and Removable Storage Media"). In other words, it may happen some day, but don't hold your breath!

You all FAIL! This is what this thread is about!

Sorry, I meant to post this earlier in the week but forgot until now... As of 22 February 2010, carrying in national parks will be subject to state and local laws. Or, in other words, if you are good to carry in a state park, you are now good to go in national parks in that same state! Below is the official NPS press release, click on the title for the original link. Cheers! M2

Let's not let this thread turn into a bow-measuring contest! ! M2

Hey, I do have a couple of black rifles...it's just that they were made in Yugoslavia! Cheers! M2

T-bonez All is not lost. If you go to Cav Arm's web site, they posted the following which states they will continue to produce and sell firearm accessories; and are selling the firearm production portion of their business to someone else... Cheers! M2 p.s. OK, I now see where you said some of that in your post; but remember I am not an AR guy (Soviet MilSurp is my addiction). I know on ARs it is the lower that has the serial number on it, thus making it the regulated portion of the firearm...

Finally, an AIM Point worth looking at! Air Force Pararescue in Helmand Province, Afghanistan Some select pics from Michael Yon... Cheers! M2

And in case anyone was wondering if this was official; here's the letter with Gates' signature... Cheers! M2 08144-09.pdf

OND? Sounds too much like OMD... (afnav, you are really dating yourself with that PM Dawn reference! )

Gentlemen While I applaud the effort to "spice up" dull threads, I do ask that if you post any picture that makes a thread unsuitable for public viewing that you kindly notify the moderators to add a **NSFW** tag to the title! You can easily do so by simply "reporting" your post using the exclamation point in the yellow warning triangle located at the bottom left of every post. It is easy to find as it also says ‘Report’ next to it! By doing so, the mods can edit the thread title appropriately; and we all live to fight another day. I viewed what had been an innocuous thread in the office and was lucky no one noticed the newly-added NSFW picture before I could close it. We don’t need any fratricide on here when it can be easily avoided, so use a little common sense and warn others beforehand! Those who violate this common courtesy will receive the appropriate Thanks! M²

Silent Bob Too Fat To Fly? Honestly, Smith is fucking huge! Notice in none of the press reports of this incident does Smith say how much he weighs. Based on the above photo, I would says he's close to 275-300 lbs! Hell, he admits to breaking a toilet because he's so fat! The first exercise he needs to start with is pushing his fat ass away from the dinner table! Shit, he'd probably have a heart attack if he ever tried Chasing Amy! p.s. By the way, Southwest's policy is nothing new...it's been in place for 25 years!

Actually, I was just talking with the guy who was handling the ammo at the BXtra at Lackland, and he said he was having a tough time getting AAFES to allow him to purchase it from more than one vendor. He said he had two more glass cases that he wanted to fill (right now there is only the one) and that he needed more target ammo (the majority of the stuff is SD/HD). He sincerely sounded like he wanted to expand what they were offering, but I told him I was still grateful that they were carrying ammo in the first place. Cheers! M2

This might help... Air Force Culture, Region and Language Program web site There is a 'Contact Us' button, but it is for the center at Maxwell. Cheers! M2

Nope, Wilson was in a league far beyond those other Democrats. He truly kicked ass! According to the book Charlie Wilson's War, in 1985 Wilson had been told by a doctor that he had 18 months to live. Like a true Texan, he beat those odds by almost 25 years. Godspeed, Charlie, too bad there ain't more like ya!

Honestly, to me that would make a good "start" outfit, kinda like "The Teacher" at Mons Venus in Tampa a while back (I think it was Mons Venus, I've been to so many strip joints over the years I can't recall for sure. Plus, I don't cloud my memories with such triviality as the location of the place, just the outstanding butts and boobs I saw!). However, towards the end of the show, I would expect her to be wearing much less...

Then fuck it, have two events. Basically, you've been told by your dickless leadership is to have a dining out with a few shenanigans (yes, I said "shenanigans" as well) thrown in to make it "fun." In other words, lame. So have this event, and make sure no colonel's wife gets pissed off about anything; then arrange a real dining in that pays homage to the great traditions of the Air Force. The secret is in the planning, as if you execute properly there should be no one with any memory of what actually occurred (other than whats stated in the official police or hospital reports) Oh, one last bit of advice...still drink heavily before your combination dining in/dining out as you will be absolutely bored to death otherwise... Cheers! M2

Naw, this needs to be aired out. Plus, over 90 people responded to the poll, so obviously it is of interest to some folks... But the bottom line is that is all an exercise in futility, as there will be no restricting of any particular group on this forum as far as I am concerned (and I think BaseOps and the other mods will back me on this one). It is much easier to weed out the douchebags on an individual basis, especially the dumbasses who get into pissing contests with moderators. Seriously, how fucking stupid can someone be? So this thread is pretty much pointless, but the discussion will remain open as long as folks want to talk about it. Let nature take its course and it'll die out once the interest in this topic does the same... However, unless some of you nutbags get off your asses and post some more De-Motivational posters with tits and guns, I am gonna delete every fucking thread in this forum! Got it?

First rule, never post your TiB pics to your Facebook page. Gentlemen, I present one Katie Badowski... How do I know it's her? Well, she's a "fan" of the "Tops In Blue 60th Anniversary Reunion 2013" And before anyone else says it, I will..."I'd hit it!" But I've always had a thing for snooty, know-it-all but relatively cute babes! I always enjoyed the challenge of baggin' 'em! Secondly, apparently she's a Beaver! Well, she claims to be an Oregon State alumni from 2008...anyone here know/recognize her? I know we have some current/former OSU'ers...

Here's a question for the bar, is Peyton Manning a poor sport because he left the field after the game without congratulating the Saints? This blog says no, but I disagree. Sure, Manning wanted to win; but who was there that didn't? It isn't a matter of whether Manning is a good sport or not, it's more of the example he is setting; and I don't buy his excuse for not doing so...

Agreed, if there is any music to be added to this game, it should be the O'Jay's For the Love of Money, Pink Floyd's Money or even Abba's Money, Money, Money (although I think Madness' version was better); not this shit!
