I was in Huntington, WV last week and I believe I paid $3.68. Heading out to Walmart now to buy stuff, I'll check the Philly prices

I was in 11th Grade Physics Class when the first and second towers got hit. I remember one of the other teachers coming into the room crying saying a plan had hit the towers. If my memory is correct, we all thought it was something along the lines of a cessna or a lear jet or something. Finally the ...

Criminal Apathy

The victim, DeWayne Taylor, 20, talked to NBC10's Monique Braxton on Tuesday. "I got the staples right here, and right here," Taylor said, pointing to wounds on his head. "And a broken finger, of course." Taylor said the attack was unprovoked and he does not know the attacker. It...

Im using the same one. Im thinking it's just a matter of not being used to it yet. Up until this point I was using the POS one I got issued from my unit. Basically just the standard pistol holder with a half molle rig for your leg. The holster was terrible for any kind of fast draw and the single st...

Bruteforce, Did you ever get a solution for the leg straps being too short on your BH rig? I picked up one yesterday and I can't wear it up high enough on my thigh due to the straps being too short. Im not overly huge (6'1" 195), so this was kinda a surprise when I went to put it on. Did ya fin...

It's funny to think that during MOBC they told us "You guys will never see a Russian tank or BMP in a combat setting for as long as you lead troops. Toyota trucks are the targets you'll get." Hmm, might not be 100% true anymore. Def. a huge event to monitor

Extra med supplies

Gentlemen, I've been working with my company medics trying to get them restocked and supplied as best as possible before we head down range. It's been a slow process, but for whatever reason we arent able to get an official restock from the Guard until we mobilize in Sept., therefore, we've been rel...

Did some digging on AKO and it looks like they removed this from the downloads area. However, you can order it from narescue.com for $30. On top of that, all the proceeds go the Wounded Warrior Foundation. Def. a good thing to have for anyone in the EMS/Medical field
