Maggie’s Funny & awesome pics, vids and memes thread (work safe, no nudity)

I commanded the Honor Guard Flight at Pope in the late 1980s when a C-130 crashed during a CAPEX performing a LAPES of a HUMWV. The aircraft split in half, all hands lost.

One of the crew was a personal friend, and I escorted the Wing Commander to hand the flag to his widow at the funeral.

I was in for almost 42 years end to end. Enlisted, officer, served all over the world, jumped out of planes, did the Arctic survival thing, commanded in Iraq.

Those two minutes of presenting the flag, walking towards her as she kept shaking her head and seeing in her eyes, "please don't come here with that" and hearing the old man bend over and whisper to her "On behalf of the President of the United States, and a grateful nation, I humbly present you with this flag," giving the final salute at his casket and marching away were the hardest thing I've ever done.

Hide Aviation

Last time it happend during Ivan in 04. They reinforced the entire route when they rebuilt it. Shot in about 15ft deep sea wall bulk heads the entire length on each side of the road way. Wouldn't take long to re asphalt.

Supposed to keep it from washing out, but my money would be on Mother Nature. Fortunately, the wife was just over Brooks Bridge by then.

Forgotten which storm, but some clown was found holding on to a piece of driftwood in the bay after the storm passed. Said his car was washed off 98.

6.5 Creedmoor

So, been loading for a while now but new to 6.5 Creedmoor. This is the first cartridge that i've bought dies with a bushing for neck sizing. Brass is brand new Lapua large primer. Unfired out of the box the neck O.D. measures .2900" to .2895" across 10 samples. I don't have gauges but the neck wall measures .014 so .0140x2=.028. neck O.D. of .2895" minus wall thickness x 2 (.0280) equals .2615. projectile diameter of .264 minus neck I.D. of .2615" looks like neck tension of .0025". I'm guessing the neck die bushings to buy first would be .290" and .289" Hornady dies look about $36 each so trying to buy what I need. Thanks

Seat a bullet and measure the OD of the neck and subtract .002” and go with that.

So who had Chosen people Flambeau?

Just finally had time to watch some of the footage. What. A. Clusterfuck. One crazed psycho running around naked burning people while a sea of terrified sheep run in all directions. The Pride flag on the mall entrance is very appropriate as well. It symbolizes the chaos and degeneration of the human spirit under leftist policies.

China going under?

.......................................

IIRC, he states there's a population decline (due to the one child policy), specifically an up and coming generation to fill the workforce. Lack of food/farming, due to the children of farmers moving to urban centers for work. And a lack of workforce to build tech. Claims there's many empty factories due to lack of workforce.

....................................

I seem to have heard this before. Now where was it?

Thank you,

Hide Aviation

West bound on the island between FWB and Destin during spring break and Summer time is basically a parking lot from 4-6pm. Takes around 45min to make 6 miles... Construction on the Brooks bridge is making it worse, hopefully when construction is complete it will ease that some.

Wait until a hurricane takes out all four lanes. Happened twice while be lived there. First time the wife was working in Destin and we lived in FWB.
