Don't care what the album cover says. That's mashed potatoes.
With whipped cream - if her body heat did not melt it off the camera lights certainly would have.
Actually, she is wearing chiffon and shaving cream according to Google.

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.

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.

Starship Troopers" is an excellent novel, and got turned into a movie even worse than "Dune."
It's a very rare movie that is better than the book.

Baked beans with sunny side up eggs...an odd combination.
Full English breakfast. The only thing missing in Kellogg Corn Flakes (no, not the frosted ones...).

In a pig's ass.
We are busy fighting and preparing to fight and use the Navy for some long range artillery jobs and other fire support. They also perform certain admin functions, mass supply, and medical and religious services. They do that because real Marines and some corpsmen and ladies face the tiger on his own turf and often by the tiger's rules.
Remember that every Marine is a rifleman...and ever shall that be.
Semper fi, Marines.
Just love to stir up Marines about living in the Department of the Navy,,,,,

Graf could be a hoot at times
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...

Had an “hog” incident at Graf up on the Forward Observation Post. One soldier was being a pain in the “fourth point of contact” all day. That night someone apparently smeared peanut butter on the foot of his fart sack and left the flap of the tent open just a hair. Middle of the night you hear him screaming “they’re eating me!” Hogs had drug him out of the tent and were shredding his bed roll. It was February so he was zipped up tight and couldn’t get out. We eventually ran them off but he had to sleep in a ventilated sleeping bag the rest of the field problem. Funny, he was a model soldier after that.
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.

BTDT more times than I can count or even remotely remember.
I can remember running behind the battery as the XO, and almost getting drunk from the fumes coming off the members of the unit.

What’s your most overrated gun ??

It was the ultimate battle rifle for it's time. Compare it against any other battle rifle available in WWII and there is no comparison.
