"...it's time we called her 'Ma'am' again." Bitch.

Can I just say that I like the trend (thank you M2) of posting supporting female pics in this thread. Perhaps everyone should post an image with, well anything they decide to post? Accordingly... FM

Thread Revival! This story about Marines taking back a German ship from pirates. Too bad no shots were fired (on our behalf). FM

It's still is different than it used to be (and a good thing). My oldest Son is just finishing his AD requirement for the Marine Corps. And, my youngest is heading for Paris Island in a couple of months. When I am with them, and folks find out what they're up to, they get tons of respect and thanks. I only have profanity for the cowards at the airport in the story - so I'll just leave it right there. FM

Dollars to doughnuts the guy ends up with a brand new airplane... FM

Virginia is Scrambling to minimize the impact... Story FM

I keep asking myself how many other non-diplomatic federal agencies are tasked with reaching out to Muslims? If NASA, then who else? And...Why the F*ck are we doing that? There is no reasonable explanation, except that Jack*ss POTUS is just a clueless idiot with some dangerous misconceptions about the Arab world. A little bit at a time, our national identity is given away each and every day. FM

There were other designs out there too - some not so serious! Oh wait, this is a sub that flies, not the reverse... FM

Maybe this belongs in the B1 cancellation thread, but I thought it warranted a "WTF?" DARPA Grant for Underwater Aircraft And the details (for you detail weenies): PDF Description FM (Edit: I meant to say "Submersible" aircraft - sorry)

Seems Somali pirates were released by the Russians with an interesting outcome... Story My favorite - 'It seems that they all died' Story FM

We talked about his this woman before, who seems to have lots of approach traffic above her house. She was concerned Fred was terrorizing her, but now she's more focused on helicopters. She's been documenting things, and now has nearly three-hundred videos. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XNCY4LMEJ9g Nutbag (probably with cats) FM

Also to the families... The missing guy is a friend of my Daughter. We're watching pretty closely.

Somebody's always watching (and checking). Ten posts in less than a day... Perhaps posts like this are inevitable with the number of new members signed up over the past few days? FM

Just what was he afraid of by being deployed? He wasn't going to get shot at. No, he didn't like the idea of contributing to taking apart his buddies network over there. A terrorist, yes. His opportunity was here in CONUS. He needed to do this before leaving. How many actors does it take to become an act of terrorism? Just one.

Geeze, talk about a thread revival. Well, good video here (of the cadet). Also, a .05 second search on Google returned all sorts of things. Have a beer and look through them. F

"2" Obama is the POTUS of Disengagement. A related question might be - once he feels that bite, how long before he stops that disengagement? There are after all a few things heating up right now. I think he's out of his element, frankly. It's easy for him to sit by and just watch in the beginning. He has already demonstrated the ability to do just that (Iran reaction). Of course, we (most of us) don't really know if he is disengaging behind the scenes or not... F

Detroit does suck, but the Wings are awesome! "2" (They'll stumble once).

Adobe (formerly Macromedia) Flash is about the only other viable (and portable) presentation medium that might work. It also needs a nerd type to make it work (usually). F

Who is saying they were on the ship? Heheh... F

May have gone like this: "Pop...Pop...Pop!" F

Since it has been a while... F

MiniVan Bird Strike Check out the name of the towing company. F

"The Pilot" with Cliff Robertson. Upbeat/downbeat <sts> film about a DC8 pilot (hey, it was 1980) who has a drinking problem. Some of the scenarios are a liitle far-fetched, but there's some great photography. Sadly lacking in the sex department, but still enjoyable. F
