    Use the guns to acquire more booze...And defend already plundered booze.
  2. Oh, I agree. An unloaded gun is about as useful as a club. Just curious how bad the consequences would be if caught. (in unrelated news, I shot sub 1 MOA with my M1A this weekend)
  3. Just curious, what is the punishment if your caught with a loaded mag in the gun and one in the chamber?
  4. WTF? Why is that an issue? Fucking shower stalls? How in GODS name does that effect ANYTHING?!

    M16A4-ergy with ACOG awesomeness! I plan on swapping out the Magpul grip with the A2 grip on my spare lower to make it a more realistic clone.
  6. Twitter? Seriously? People quote that shit as truth/news?
  7. Since you two are "in the know" why was it now that hostages were rescued? They have been sitting there for a while. And they can use the medical excuse for the one dude all they want, but I would think that excuse would warrant a QUICK response. Not this one after so long.
  8. Link Inop.
  9. Seriously.
  10. WASHINGTON: The Air Force's RQ-4 Global Hawk unmanned aircraft appears to be the latest big-ticket program to fall victim to the Pentagon's budget axe. The venerable intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance drone will be nixed as part of the Air Force's upcoming fiscal 2013 budget proposal , according to Loren Thompson, a consultant and defense analyst. Specifically, the Air Force will retire the Block 30 variants of the drone already in the service's fleet and end production of the platform entirely, he wrote. The decision comes as Global Hawk-manufacturer Northrop Grumman is developing a new Block 40 version of the drone for the Air Force and a maritime version -- known as the Broad Area Maritime Surveillance system -- for the Navy. The cancellation also comes at a time when company officials have been aggressively pushing the Global Hawk into foreign markets. Deals with NATO, South Korea, Japan and Australia were potentially on the table until today's announcement. "Obviously, it's a disappointment," company spokesman Jim Stratford said, noting that the Pentagon issued an Acquisition Decision Memorandum last June that concluded Global Hawk is "essential to national defense and no other platform could do this mission at lower cost." The ADM was issued when the Defense Acquisition Board approved a massive restructuring of the program. But the Global Hawk's multiple breaches of federally-mandated cost caps, including the one that prompted the June restructure, have proven a persistent headache to the Air Force. Ultimately, that concern pushed service leaders to offer the ISR drone as a "bill-payer" in the 2013 budget plan, according to Thompson. The Global Hawk's cancellation may ultimately leave the brunt of the Air Force's high-altitude ISR operations to the aging U-2 spy plane. A burden that will only get heavier as U.S. military forces begin to pivot from Southwest Asia to the Western Pacific . Since the Global Hawk's inception, Air Force leaders have repeatedly claimed the drone would replace the legacy U-2. But as years passed, service leaders always came up with reasons why the RQ-4 was not yet ready to take the manned aircaft's place. What will be really interesting to watch is, if the Global Hawk program is killed, will the Pentagon order a new aircraft capable of doing the same missions.

  11. Fireworks then a fly over right under? Looks epic...but is there no worry about ingesting a bunch of firework remains?
  12. Or it's Cosplay? Which is like all the sluts from Halloween who want to dress up when it's not October 31st...

    My next two projects. Going lightweight with the one with the M4 stock and SPR Mk12 Mod0 clone for the one with the PRS stock. And Action report...I LOVE my M1A. Fucking tack driver.
  14. World's biggest super-jumbos must be GROUNDED, say engineers after cracks are found in the wings of three Airbus A380s Cracks found in two Singapore Air super-jumbos, and one Qantas Both airlines admit cracks, but say planes are safe 'We can't continue to gamble with lives' - engineer https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2084242/Airbus-A380-Worlds-biggest-planes-sky-worthy-say-engineers.html
  15. Uh o...so technically I can't wear a watch cap when in my flight suit?
  16. $355 million? For 20 fucking planes? $17,750,000 each?! A T-6 costs under $5 million each. WTF?! Are we buying fighter jets or CHEAP CAS platforms? Seriously?!
  17. Now now...I am sure Col Old's turned around right after this picture was taken and told the LT to put his sleeves down before they lost the war due to poor attention to detail...
  18. Well made it 9/10's through my deployment while sporting the OLD pt sweatshirt (the one that says "Air Force" on it) before I got Chiefed today. DARN! And it was a double whammy since I had my sleeves pushed 1/3 up on my arm too. I still refuse to buy the new PT sweatshirt out of principle that I already paid for this one and I only need to dig it out of the closet when I deploy. So I will continue trying to be as loud as humanly possibly in my PT's swishing down the hallways and through base.
