I didn't. Neither that thread nor this one discussed jump school as an "elite" school, or implied that standards in other units were as high as those in the Regiment. The discussion is about whether initial entry requirements and training are being lowered below their already pretty low s...

Re: Back the fuck up

I hate that fucking term, its got to be one of the most IGNORANT new fangled style slang words that I've ever heard in my life. Good Lord, all the way back in the early 90's we had a guy on our FIST who used to say that all the time. He often got smoked by the PSG, usually preceded by the question ...

Maybe if we had a few more "gun free" zones it would stop. :roll: One thing that all of the victims had in common.... they were all unarmed. You should glance at the comments on CNN regarding this; pages and pages of gun control (elimination) comments by some pretty naive people. I submit...

Every May 5th in Escondido, California, we had a neighbor who would drape a what looked like a 20'x40' flag over the front of his three story house :D We were practically in Mexico with all of the locals, but nobody would touch him, because he looked like he could have whooped the Terminator's ass (...

Cloverfield was lame. I guess they thought that they could overcome the lack of any worthwhile story with the effects (I've seen better in that regard, also). Thankfully, a matinee here is only 5.50. As for the dizzying visuals, I guess once you've gotten used to low-level night flights on a C-130, ...
