Yep, drive by it all the time.

Armored, self propelled artillery has always looked like that in the turret because the crew needs to able to get away from the recoil. The tube travels almost to the turret wall when fired. Had a section chief not be able to get out of the path of recoil and his body rapidly expanded outwards so he looked like the Michellon man. Did survive.

Our club uses Practiscore and I fought with the print options so I could post scores to our web site. The solution I have that works well is to take a screenshot of the score page. That produces a picture image that can be easily posted to the web and it is very clear and readable.

My wife is Greek and she thinks it's funny too.

Looks normal with men wearing dresses.

What news media? Nobody actually reports news anymore, it's mainly fluff pieces like the Belichick "story".

That's basically how all our breech mechanisms worked but instead of a soldier grinding away to open and close it, there is a track the breech is attached to that automatically opens the breech when it fires. It also will spin the breech closed when ready.

None.

It's a very rare movie that is better than the book.

The folks in Bavaria can't understand hochdeutsch either..

Have fun, cat people!

Jim Downing (the gun engraver) has done scrimshaw in the past as well. Not sure if he still does it based on how busy he is with engraving.

Hostinger.com https://www.hostinger.com/ Cost depends on the number of years contract you sign up for. For us, we signed up for 2 years and I think we're paying $55 per year. Cost includes web site design service, complete with AI if you want it. Found it to be very easy to work with. Super easy to update site. Takes me about 10 minutes to update 4 or 5 pages after a match and most of that is thinking up what to say. Here's our site if you want to see what it looks like: shortgrassrangers.com

In the 80's, I was with a Pershing II unit in Germany. We'd drive thru towns and throw MRE stuff to the kids. When the next unit drove thru the same town, the German kids would throw the MRE stuff back at the GIs.

Those men you mention all fought for the US at one point. At that time, most Americans identified with their state long before they considered being US. And, after the war, all those Confederate soldiers were pardoned and given US veterans status. Both sides worked very hard to paper over what happened and make the country whole again.

It has to be since I won't be watching the super bowl...

And here I was thinking of this: https://www.legendsofamerica.com/tx-cadillacranch/

Full English breakfast. The only thing missing in Kellogg Corn Flakes (no, not the frosted ones...).

Run away.....

Idiots.

Just love to stir up Marines about living in the Department of the Navy,,,,,

Owned by the Navy. Yikes!

One foot in mud, one foot in snow, and dust blowing in your face. Graf. My first landlord in West Germany was a member of Rommel's Africa Corp. He trained at the same places in Graf we did - with the same wonderful experiences...

I was walking the gunline at Graf late one night and went back to the messline to check on the cleanup detail. Came around the back of the 5 ton and found my detail up in the truck, hiding. There was a hog in the messline. It had knocked over the table and was crushing C ration cans to ease out what was inside and drinking out of the mermite container. Never signed the mess log..

Misguided attempt to look "cool." Totally worthless otherwise.
