Hard? And here I was thinking the whole time that it was fun, far less games than the grunts, and more pay as well. Go figure.

Bienvenidos, D McD....

Think of the cats you could lay waste to with the BB version. Dogs would hail your every step. Felines across the globe would shit themselves upon hearing your name.

Cool....

Obviously the Corps is different than the Army in terms of changing MOS, but on my last deployment, one of the company riggers convinced the powers that be to let him into the real Corps (that of the infantry). As such, they sent him as a Sgt to ARS (Amphib-Recon School) and then on to my team. Sinc...

Scott's (Leatherneck) original post has had me wondering about this for sometime. So two days ago, after I had sat on my ass all day and had pretty much skipped my workout for the day (upperbody), I decided to give it a go. I wasn't going to go for the 1000, but to see what I could knock out in an h...

Re: County Line in San Antonio

I like the place a lot. They used to have a "branch" open in Corpus Christi and I would sail my 30' Cape Dory up to the rear of the place, drop anchor and come in on my dingy. My wife and little girl really loved to do that. Alas, they closed the place down. I don't know why as they always...

Re: U.S. Army Tests New Ammo, Technology, Seeking Future Pis

The 9mm cartridge has since World War I seen action all over the world. Still, soldiers have questioned the performance of the lightweight ammunition, the standard pistol caliber for NATO forces, since the Army chose it as a replacement for the combat-proven .45 two decades ago. Thats because most ...

Re: Favorite Holsters - For Concealment and/or Tactical use?

Anybody use Galco here and if yes, what do you like about it? I not only have used that same model of Galco (for Glock 9mms) but I bought and issued it for my teams working here in Mexico. I don't think I ever heard of one of them complain about the workmanship, retention of the weapon, concealibil...

Re: One week left at SOPC

....It's been a tiring course, but I have enjoyed a lot of the freedoms they gave us (nights sometimes and weekends off) and I've definately learned a ton. It feels really good to actually be getting something accomplished towards my goals in the Army instead of sitting around in that damned harnes...
