StoleIt

Any idea how this will go over in associate units? Since they are technically guard/reserve jets...

Question: Can I (should I) bring my weapons with me when I go to Altus? I, obviously, wouldn't let TMO touch them...so should I keep them with me or ship them off to a family member for storage?

Um...no. I am annoyed the KC-X procurement is so jacked up...but I am certainly not jealous/annoyed at anyone flying the Airbus. (I am slightly jealous of the Italians and Japanese for rocking the KC-767 though).

It's tacticlol...there is a difference.

I have found the Army is much better at C&C than the USAF. And they don't have any problems with the 2LT and 1LT. They all know they are just LT's and don't give a fuck. Wish the AF could figure that one out...

I come back to CBM from SERE a couple days ago. Flip on the TV...first thing on is a commercial for TIB playing this weekend. Terrible timing or what?

Sad news, my alma mater is getting rid of it's Aviation program. The University of Illinois in Champaign/Urbana is shedding this program so they don't have to cut any funding to our shitty football team. YEY!

Haha. I'm going to the range tomorrow so I'll let you know. Just stalking the neighbors via the scope it seems awesome though! 22LR vs 9mm and a boat load of cash. Basically the GSG-5 is an MP-5 clone in an extremely cheap caliber. It's an awesome plinker.

Well decided to go all tactilol on my Ar. I also have a Harris Bipod, but it's not pictured. First built: Tacilol:

Our class get a serious verbal lashing during our track select for bringing in outside alcohol. I mean there was no warning or anything subtle, it was just some evil hawk screeching at us. Then, for our assignment night, we went in to ask if we could bring in unopened bottles (not to be consumed at the club) to be gifted to the studs who got UAVs and FAIPed. That was a total PITA. Took about 2 weeks of weaseling to get that "approved" by that harpy. Seriously, probably one of my more painful UPT experiences was dealing with the club.

How is that supposed to be "stealthy" with an exposed prop?

Yes, them getting put on the same one is a coincidence of pure chance. Was them missing their flights a coincidence? No way to tell. It's very easy to miss a flight...just don't show up. But having cell phone duct taped to bottles in their luggage? Please enlighten me on what purpose that has. I would LOVE to know.

As long as you don't introduce yourself as "Bond, James Bond."

My buddies biggest complaint about the ACU seems to be the thickness/quality of the fabric. It seems to rip very easily, where as the BDU (ripstop/etc) was much more durable. Also they stain incredibly easy, and then he pretty much can't wear them again. The ACU also lacks a lot of the color and concealment qualities of MARPAT and especially of MultiCam. When I helped him out on a Ranger FTX as OPFOR it was extremely easy to spot the dudes in ACU's trying to sneak up and set up an LP/OP (granted it was a woodland type environment).

THIS! The two plasma's in our flight room are nice...we haven't used them in...well ever. And we just got a nice new podium. Not sure why, because we already had one. New computers though? Nah. Gotta go through comm or some bullshit for that. Always money to buy stuff we don't need, of course.

Just bring back the O Club in general...

I would shop https://www.bravocompanyusa.com for deals. Most of my AR parts came from BCM and they are absolutely great!

I just noticed that. UFB.

Arrow head or something? Think I remember that from a T-Bird show.

I was always under the impression Money Order's were the safest route also. I did my last transaction with PayPal and it was beyond smooth. Might be using that more often.

Article copied from Fox News but they lifted it from the Wall Street Journal (https://www.foxnews.com/politics/2010/08/08/sell-f-fighter-jets-saudis/). I thought these were reputable news organizations? I mean really? And I guess nobody thought it would be good to check and see if Saudi Arabia already owned any F-15's...I mean they only have 82 C/D models and 71 S (E) models...

Well I promised myself that my first pistol would be the one that every American male is supposed to own... And here she is: Springfield Armory 1911 GI

Pick up my Springfield Armory 1911 GI tomorrow! Can't wait...

Just a heads up, T-1 guys can NOT track B-52s or B-1s. Those are T-38 studs only.
