I may have gone over the speed limit to get to grocery store before they were closed...but if they were closed when I arrived I never broke in just because the store didn't meet my level of convenience.

What percentage of illegals are crossing the border in underground tunnels? I don't doubt that people would still try and find a way in, but what percentage of illegals (compared to now) would then cross via tunnels if the border was mined? Or are you saying there wouldn't be a noticeable reduction? Besides, you could have technology where unmanned ground vehicles would patrol the fenceline (in my mine scenario) and can pick up tunnels/tunneling activity...similar technology is already used in oil exportation, etc. As a Liberatarian I'm all for allowing people to go back and forth, but not with the massive welfare system we have now. Either secure the border the best we possibly can, or get rid of all the welfare, min wage laws, public education, etc. I'm a bigger fan of the latter.

What about at the border, they build a 10 foot wall 100 feet into the US and then put land mines in between the border and the fence? You can have all the warning signs you want, still have the normal border access/check points, nothing else changes. Would this curb 99% of the illegal border crossings after a year?

Speaking of safes/security, didn't one or two of you guys say a while back that you would be purchasing a 'Sturdy Gun Safe'? If so, how was the process? Safe what you thought it would be? What exactly did you get?

I agree. But nothing says you or any of the other crew dogs need to be in the pics with the hot chicks--actually, I prefer you didn't! Edited for alcohol.

Negative man. It's a pistol stabilizing brace...one I mentioned above. Goes to my point of the SBR becoming less and less relevant. https://www.gunsandammo.com/2014/04/04/atf-response-firing-ar-15-pistols-shoulder-sig-pistol-brace/ ETA: Nunya beat me by a couple minutes, sorry to be repetitive.

These days with bullpups and the new 'SB15 Pistol Stabilizing Brace' from Sig, I don't know why most people would go through the hassle in getting a SBR. Don't get me wrong, I'd also like to have one, but not at the expense of getting/keeping an NFA registered item and needing permission just to take it out of State...plus selling it is also more of a hassle. It's not even the stupid $200 tax stamp (I know it's the same price as it was in 1934), it's the rest of the nonsense (especially the registration) that I just laid out that keeps me from doing it, especially when there is, IMHO, 'somewhat' reasonable alternatives. Just my $.02. I'm definitely interested in SCAR17S...haven't been able to shoot one yet, but hopefully one day soon!

Pics or it didn't happen. Same with you Prozac. No pics means you were just hanging out with a bunch of fat dudes...which Nsplayr likes. I'll also settle for more pics of BQZip's mom.

That's like saying that without the 9% (whatever it was) of the black vote, W wouldn't have gotten elected. I don't think any reasonable person is suggesting that Hispanic Americans are solidly (in the past, present, or forseeable future) in the GOP's corner.

CDNN has the SW MP-15 OR for $700 (assuming it's in stock) and then you get $100 mil rebate on top of it. Hard to beat and with an OR you can dress it up however you want. https://www.slickguns.com/product/sw-mp-15-223-16-barrel-optics-ready-1-30rd-79999

I'm somewhat surprised they didn't offer continuation, specifically since Big Blue had the VSP/RIF/TERA program to get their numbers the way wanted and then would be able to allow the others to continue to 20. Possibly because they didn't want their 'better' people (ie those that did get picked up for O-5) to have a chance to get out early with VSP/TERA? Also, assuming you got commissioned/went active duty in the early summer, wouldn't just about everyone who was twice passed over have at least 15 years and thus be allowed to retire under TERA?

Looks pretty heavy for a 5.56...I can only imagine that their .308 version would add an extra pound or close to it. The SCAR17S (.308 semi-auto gets great reviews, though it is a little pricy). Personally, I'm really looking forward to the Desert Tech MDR bullpup in .308 as their other products seem very legit. If it's anything like the Tavor (to bad only availsble in 5.56/9mm) then it will be a hit. I don't mind a little extra weight if it is balanced well.

Hey now, I thought Jessica Rabbit was pretty damn hot back in the day. If you disagree with me then you're obviously a homosexual...'not that there's anything wrong about it'.

What's crap is that they get to 'apologize' but yet we still have a Marine sitting in one of their Mexican prisons for something that should only require an 'apology'.

You and me both, man...that's how it was for us 'back in da day'. I also remember hearing that a 3U was better than a 14G (assuming you didn't have any problems passing your 88/89)--basically it was 'downgrades' that were scored and the overall score didn't really mean much. How are they doing it now?

Does this mean if a fellow squadron member is the Wing CGO of the Year that his squadron mates can also claim on their OPR that they are also the Wing CGO of the Year? Or do we only share the bad things?

I read his post for a second time... So let me get this straight: If you don't want to be the world's police force then you're an isolationist? So if Canada is not using their military to their maximum extent possible are they also considered isolationists? I'm just curious where the limits are.

Who's talking about isolationism (nice straw man)? There are plenty of ways to get oil besides via the Middle East, and who says we won't continue to get some of our oil from some of those nations in the future? As for the prices going up/being in fluctuation when a heavy oil producing country has problems, that's just life in a world market...definitely ways to get through it and survive.

Rainman?? I didn't know you flew C-17's haha

Sounds awfully similar to what one American soldier 'might' have did in Afghanistan...

Reminds me of a movie I saw once... https://youtube.com/watch?v=QJQ0EV4bWH0

I have a feeling that the VP only meant it will be one of the Administration's 'greatest achievements' if it doesn't get all fvcked up before the end of their time in office.

As in the Kurds claiming independence from the rest of Iraq?

You probably meant to say that you, as the Nav, would request to the AC, that he/she extends some special 'bro treatment' to Fed LE. Guess it would all have to depend on the request.

Dude, whatever--don't be such a wimp. You get all emotional because someone challenges your opinion. Don't respond to my posts if you don't want to have a discussion! By the way, did you finally watch the entire video?
