There's a service called military one source, I'm not certain they will be able help a vietnam vet or if it's just vets of these most recent conflicts, but they are a good resource for referral to services and counselling. There is no shame in seeking help! America has lost too many good men in...
Tell him to learn a trade in the service! Then even if he hates that trade he can use the gi Bill to learn another after he is out. Nobody worth working for needs a machinegunner or the like. And yes, the 31 in my username denotes 0331, infantry machinegunner in the usmc, so I know that of...
I have 3 siblings, a brother in law, and a fiance who are rose alums. Furthermore, my future brother in law is an alum and my future father in law was a department chair there for a good long while. Ive never heard of anyone going there and not being pushed to their limits in at least one area...
As far as drinking the turtle blood, when i was at the mountain warfare school for the usmc, the instructors said blood is treated like a solid by our stomachs because of all the proteins and other cells and things in it, as well as curdling/coagulation that stomach acids might cause. So i don't...
Thanks for the responses, all! Unfortunately the auto hauler we are pulling will not follow well at the speeds we were hoping to travel, thus increasing our travel time by about ten to fifteen percent. Its going to be a long haul full of disgusted looks today, i think, and probably no time for...
So this weekend i'm helping my little brother move home to ft wayne from houston. Can anyone suggest some good attractions to stop and see along I65? Our route takes us northeast through birmingham, AL then north on 65 til 465. Attractions dont have to be gun related, but he and i are both 2a...
Its all about the density of the pack. I think the usmc taught me that 3 sandbags of packed dirt were required to do the same job as one bag of sand, because the sand particles fit together tighter. I distinctly remember an instructor firing rounds into ammo cans full of dirt, water, and sand. I...
I enjoy my h&r ultra slug hunter, but it is a dedicated slug gun. I find it plenty accurate for my needs, and it wasnt ridiculously expensive. If i recall correctly it was about $280.
When i went to boot camp in san diego some dummy in my platoon drew blood from his cheek with a fork on our 2nd day because he was eating too fast. The remainder of our three months there we were never allowed forks again. Ever try to eat an overcooked porkchop with a spoon in a hurry? And dont...
Does anyone here know if my employer can with hold my last paycheck if i cant find all my uniform items to turn back in? I have been with them for 3.5 yrs and have changed sites for them. Im a security guard and the second site i have worked at for the last 3 years doesn't want us to wear the...
yeah, i get that it is supposed to be intimidating. i mean its a god awful turnoff to me to hear that crap constantly going off. am I the only one who hates it? it makes me want to avoid their booth, not go and purchase anything of theirs.
I'm looking to see what the consensus is on the pointless crackling of those stun gun/taser things that some of the vendors like to set off. does that noise make anyone else jumpy? i absolutely hate that sound, especially when its not announced. what say you, ingo? annoying or not?
i have an officers model, series 90. good stuff, first handgun i ever owned. it's good gear. kinda sounds like a lot of folks (not everyone in the thread) without experience on these particular guns giving opinions. mine has NEVER malfunctioned on me. i bought it used in 2007 and have fired...
when last i was in 1776 sporting club in Huntington (Monday) there were two 10/22s on the rack. one was standard except for having a green (neon, not forest) laminate stock, and the other was a take-down. since i am not in the market for another 10/22 i didn't look at the prices, but this store...
