  1. Guess I need to tell my Doberman to behave.....
  2. Think I'll stick with Dunlap Road Smart IIIs..
  3. I sure hope so. The beret is stupid! Doesn't block sun or rain and most personnel don't know how to wear it correctly.
  4. Nope. I enjoy the branch bashing. I just get tired of the endless "jokes" that Lieutenants are all idiots and officers in general are worthless. And yes, I was a commissioned officer yet I am not continually saying things like how all the enlisted personnel I served with were a step from Leavenworth.
  5. I'm not offended by it, just really tired of the same old crap. At least I 'm not Francis.....
  6. When the NFL decided to allow the kneelers and started playing an alternative national anthem, they lost whatever limited interest I had in them.
  7. If you have seen his anti-American comments, you might not be interested in anything he does. Google him and see.
  8. And now I can't unsee this. Thanks alot!
  9. Purchased 2 El Patrons new. Both had the same problem (or it could have been me with my actions on the trigger). Fought with them for 4 months until I changed out the hammer and trigger to a 4 click model. Problems went away......
  10. I was able to tour the Victory when on leave once a long time ago. Standing on the spot where Nelson died, I was truly surprised by how short everyone must have been back there. Not a lot of space between the decks.
  11. Epaulets nowadays. Used to be on the collar before the Army did away with khakis.
  12. Crossed the Atlantic on an empty troop transport once. Hit seas like that and we were tied down at the mess table. Hanging on to ropes in the whatever you squids call hallways. Threw up solid for about three days. Glad to get off and Not do it again...
  13. Lots of disagreement over whether mesh gear works or not (depends on how hot it is for the evaporation to be effective) but I wear mesh jacket and pants all summer and survive. Better than nothing and lots better than a full leather jacket. Just have to keep hydrated..... Check out wickedstock.com. Good quality gear at a decent price.
  14. Too hot in Texas for that extra add-on stuff. I wear the armored jacket, pants, and gloves all the time. And always remember the two basic rules for motorcycles: 1. Don't fall down and 2. Everyone else on the road is trying to kill you.
  15. Just about everything I have read says the British would first go after the hull and cannons.
  16. French tactics were exactly that - dismantle the rigging, knock down masts, etc. British tactics were to shoot holes in the hull and dis mantle their opponents artillery - and let the water in...
  17. Still nuts and we hope she doesn't have a hard lesson from it....
  18. Same here. And haven't had anyone take it wrong.
