    New tattoo ?

    I researched my tat for about a year. I would be leery about forearms though, anything you may do could be held against you in some future job interview. Tat's are personal, put it where it would have the most meaning.

    Show me your blades!

    Hmmmmm not the same class but I enjoy my blades. This is one I purchased from a master Tsuka wrapper, although it is being matched up with my Wakizashi and some day I'll have it back home :D It is mine though.

    This could be interesting. Cartels making overt threats in our borders.

    I know a few alcoholics, they don't break i nto people's houses to steal something that may be worth a grand, to later sell for a $40 bag. Meth, Heroine, all those users, they do. That's the majority of burglaries where I live, mostlyi meth. I also don't know a lot of women that will sell...

    This could be interesting. Cartels making overt threats in our borders.

    At one time they were spraying, not sure what chemical but it made for a good story. Now all we hear is how they have record level crops. Best to keep the media out of war zones. As for the border, I would have to agree with the above post, they can do what they want. Pablo Escabar also...

    Can anyone here verify a SEAL claim for me?

    I can't divulge too much, the paper tried to come out and photograph them from the open waters and the security force escorted them away. I know it's not SBU, and I wlil just say g oogle "SSGN". :) We are about 3 miles from the sub base. They use our boat launch for training because we have...

    Can anyone here verify a SEAL claim for me?

    LOL No kidding. I was an electronic tech in MI, re-enlisted but got stuck with "Tactical", and rather than be a line radio issuer I chose to go into the COMSEC side of it and became the BN ComSec custodian. Was quite pleased with that.

    Can anyone here verify a SEAL claim for me?

    Well what I know is that those were invented for SEAL excursions. Divers are training with it, and it's not the Navy Divers because they are driving the surface boats monitoring traffic. Could be an SBU but I don't even know what that is :D

    Can anyone here verify a SEAL claim for me?

    If they claim to be a SEAL, they are not. I met 3 Navy seals the other day, TRUE STORY. Know how I know they were real? :D - They were putting this in the water, on a military base :D They are out there quite frequently training and it's right next to the smoke shack. Found some of their dive...

    Any contactors in here?

    This right here is why I took a 30% pay cut and why *anyone* should be leery of contracting with DOD. http://www.defense.gov/news/newsarticle.aspx?id=118970

    equipment vs. skill

    I always thought I was hot shit in Alaska, shooting my 1903 at 400 yards. Inuit Indian (Alaska native NG guy from the village near Big Lake) stands up next to me with an AR15 and starts banging steel at 600 yards. Now I've seen guys do that with service rifles, done it wiht Palma rifles and...

    Any contactors in here?

    Got family? Personally, got a good secure job, stick with it. Besides, DOD just did a huge change in the way contracts are issued, and sooner or later it will affect even those contractors. Used to be a contractor (ie Lockheed Martin) could bill the gov and give the employee say $35/hr with...

    Forgiveness...

    This man sat in prison in FEAR because there are no appeal after appeals there. Then the day comes, he's scared, BAAAAAD. And then the victim gives mercy. He owes his life to her. If that doesn't change the man, then someone ought to put him out. But I'll bet it did change him, it changed...
