And they make fun of the USAF?!?

Soon available at your local Class VI... Here's some useless trivia for everyone! The Class VI store is called that as the Army divides supplies into classes. Ammunition, for example, is Class V. Liquor is one of the personal items covered by Class VI! https://www.dau.edu/sites/default/files/Migrated/CopDocuments/Military Classes of Supply.pdf

Yeah, it's a dumpster fire of biblical proportions; but it's also a great source of info such as this! Until someone gets seriously swatted for posting sensitive shit on there, it's not going to change...

So, other than the conversations are taking place on social media and not over beers in the dorms, the topics haven't changed in 40+ years....

Not a fan of Trump, but there is no way you can convince me the last four years under Biden were better! Had Trump won, our economy would most likely be doing better, our foreign and domestic policies been more focused on important things than wokeness and transgender recognition, and honestly I believe most Americans would have a lot more pride in this country! The fact that Biden even won (if he even did!) and pretty much every action he has taken over the past four years has been a major embarrassment to the US. This has got to be the largest amount of horseshit claims I've ever seen in my life, and I did 25 years in the USAF! The Biden-Harris Record | The White House Does the White House really think everyone is so stupid to believe all that?!? Again, I would prefer a different candidate to vote for, one more along the lines of Reagan in the 80s; but once again we are stuck between a Giant Douche and a Turd Sandwich. I for one would rather endure the Giant Douche then to spend another four years having a Turd Sandwich shoved down our throats!

I hope not! Watching this is my Easter tradition!

What can are you running on that? I'm in the market for one with the ATF approving individual (not Trusts) Form 1s for suppressors in a matter of days, once I see how I do on my taxes (if you wait until the last minute, it only takes a minute!). Of course, with the quick turnarounds most online suppressor vendors (Silencer Central, Capital Armory, etc.) are sold out of stock on many items. 🤬🤬🤬

Whoops!! Army investigating Nazi imagery on Special Forces patch posted online In case anyone isn't aware, Army SF has used similar designs (but with the traditional SF skull and arrows, not the SS Totenkopf) in the past... And I guess no one has ever noticed that KISS has used the German Schutzstaffel's doppelte Siegrune or double “lightning bolts” (stylized as ᛋᛋ using Armanen runes) for decades... The irony being Gene Simmons (real name Chaim Witz) and Paul Stanley (real name Stanley Eisen) are of Jewish descent! (Both denied any intentional likeness to Nazi symbolism in the logo)...

Not quite "pretty damn significant." While the ninth largest US port, there are plenty of alternatives which can reduce the impact while the channel is cleared of debris. There are also alternate HAZMAT routes but they either go through the city or a distance around it. It will have more impact locally, but nationally it shouldn't really be felt unless the market controllers wants to exploit the accident for gain (as it regularly does for gas prices following any incidents in the Middle East)...

You wouldn't believe how many are claiming it was a deliberate act by the Chinese!! 🫢🫢🫢

"From the Inbox: "Col Albertsen micro managed the MXG staff incessantly. Under his leadership, he made the Mx Training Facility at Holloman work extra hours, implement redundant training courses, and would routinely insult commanders at the monthly training meeting (which were only required by AFI quarterly). He was stuck in the past and was the epitome of toxic leadership. Holloman had one of the highest mishaps /accidents rates in AETC if not the AF (that is documented). Finally, he was the type of leader who held down the throttle to "ludicrous speed" at all times. He even attempted to cancel min manning for Christmas two years in a row, even when the wing CC announced no flying. We are glad to see him fired."

Stand your ground law by US jurisdiction Stand-your-ground by statute Stand-your-ground by judicial decision or jury instruction Duty to retreat except in one's home Duty to retreat except in one's home or workplace Duty to retreat except in one's home or vehicle or workplace Middle-ground approach Thirty-eight states are stand-your-ground states, all but eight by statutes providing "that there is no duty to retreat from an attacker in any place in which one is lawfully present": Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa,[23] Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nevada, New Hampshire, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio,[24][25][26] Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, West Virginia, and Wyoming; Puerto Rico is also stand-your-ground.[27][28] Of these, at least eleven include "may stand his or her ground" language (Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, and South Dakota.)[28] Pennsylvania limits the no-duty-to-retreat principle to situations where the defender is resisting attack with a deadly weapon.[29] The other eight states[30] have case law/precedent or jury instructions so providing: California,[31][32] Colorado,[33][34] Illinois, New Mexico, Oregon, Vermont,[35] Virginia,[36] and Washington;[37][38] the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands also falls within this category. Eleven states impose a duty to retreat when one can do so with absolute safety: Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Nebraska, New Jersey, New York and Rhode Island. New York, however, does not require retreat when one is threatened with robbery, burglary, kidnapping, or sexual assault. Washington, D.C. adopts a "middle ground" approach, under which "The law does not require a person to retreat," but "in deciding whether [defendant] reasonably at the time of the incident believed that s/he was in imminent danger of death or serious bodily harm and that deadly force was necessary to repel that danger, you may consider, along with any other evidence, whether the [defendant] could have safely retreated ... but did not."[39] Wisconsin also adopts a "middle ground" approach, where "while there is no statutory duty to retreat, whether the opportunity to retreat was available goes to whether the defendant reasonably believed the force used was necessary to prevent an interference with his or her person."[40] There is no settled rule on the subject in American Samoa and the U.S. Virgin Islands. In all duty to retreat states, the duty to retreat does not apply when the defender is in the defender's home (except, in some jurisdictions, when the defender is defending against a fellow occupant of that home). This is known as the "castle doctrine". In Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, and Nebraska, the duty to retreat also does not apply when the defender is in the defender's place of work; the same is true in Wisconsin and Guam, but only if the defender is the owner or operator of the workplace. In Wisconsin and Guam, the duty to retreat also does not apply when the defender is in the defender's vehicle. Twenty-two states have laws that "provide civil immunity under certain self-defense circumstances" (Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Michigan, Montana, New Hampshire, North Carolina, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, West Virginia, and Wisconsin).[28] At least six states have laws stating that "civil remedies are unaffected by criminal provisions of self-defense law" (Hawaii, Missouri, Nebraska, New Jersey, North Dakota, and Tennessee).[28]

Yeah, two states that are trying hard to make it nearly impossible for anyone to have a gun... A lot of good Castle Doctrine will do for anyone if they can't arm themselves!

Didn't last long (STS)... Anticipation and anger on Texas border as strict immigration law again on hold McALLEN, Texas (AP) — A federal appeals court late Tuesday again prevented Texas from arresting and deporting migrants accused of entering the U.S. illegally, hours after the law briefly took effect. Before a divided U.S. Supreme Court earlier let the state law take effect while a legal challenge plays out, some sheriffs were ready to relish an unprecedented state expansion into border enforcement, while others were reluctant...

Ummmmmm.......no. I will leave this post up for two reasons. One, as a warning for others not to post any AI and/or anime! Real tits, or none at all! And two, for Brother Biff to submit his pick!
