Exactly. Never been there, but how do not just CRUSH SrA Happypants when he says this shit? Will leadership really not back you when you tell them to get lost? I think only in the AF would you have these people trying to order around groups of pilots, Marine officers would NEVER be questioned by lower ranking enlisted.

Yeah it's a $100 rebate on new sigs. If the seller is a direct dealer with Sig they can take it off the initial price, otherwise it's a mail in rebate. Thanks for the help guys, I think I will try and find a .45 XD to fire before I rule out that caliber. M2, is this weapon a manageable size to carry, and does your holster ever turn on your laser? Also, is the grip roughly the same size as the other XD's?

I'm looking into buying my first handgun right now as well. I think I've narrowed it down to either the Sig P229 or the XD. Here are my main considerations: 1. Shoot-ability. I have shot the 229 (but not the XD), and the DA on the first pull was quite long and heavy (sts). The trigger on the XD felt lighter and shorter in the store, which would make multiple shots easier to get off rapidly if need be I think. That being said, I got good groupings with the 229. The 229 was pretty heavy though. 2. Reliability. I've seen the tests for the Sig and am impressed, but I hear the XD is just as good. Basically to use this gun for home defense it must go bang every time. I want it to last a long time, will rust be a problem with either? I also feel like the Sig is a simpler gun, I understand it all how it works, ect. I am not as clear on the XD with SA only and the grip safety, and if/how to maintain them. 3. I was pretty set on the .40 but now am leaning toward the 9 mil, but I go back and forth. Even though it has greater stopping power will I be able to handle it as well, and over multiple shots? Also 9 mil is cheaper... (yes I do want to fire at the range often enough to stay proficient) Any other considerations or comments would be greatly appreciated, or if I am way off base let me know. Thanks for the advice!

does anyone have the checklists saved to their computer from www.dossoperations.com? at least that's what i think the website was that had them, but it doesn't seem to be up anymore.

I know there's some program out there where APT LT's can go back to their det for like a week on TDY, when I was a junior some guys did it back at my det. I tried seaching around though and couldn't find out anything about it anywhere. Anyone know how to do it? (sts)

it's not just a pilot slot choice but a lifestyle choice for the next four years. How do you want to spend it?

"LIGHTNING BOLT WINGS" sounds like something you'd see in one of these ads...

didnt read the discussion, but tell him to check out this wikipedia article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Six_day_war booya

the difference is whether you include the r&d costs or not (which you really should). so to build a B-2 it costs $1.2B, but to design them it cost $18.8B. Edit: ya what he said, beat to the punch while typing it out

So if you see 20/30 and are supposed to put them on, but they really make no difference, you can get away without wearing them? I have the same situation and at Brooks they told me I'd be expected to wear glasses through UPT; I'm debating to get contacts or to just try and get around glasses another way (retest maybe?).
