While I hate taking time out of my day to stop for one, having been an officer I know they are a benefit to society. Someone being a jerk only would raise my suspicion

I thought so too but they were closed when the question came up I’ll email them tomorrow

Does Sig use their rockset glue on the flash hider at the factory when they make it to sell or is it a milder glue?

Fortunately he shied away from drugs as I kept him spending his money on atv tires and parts , his main drug is mud riding and sleeping. I’m hoping the army gets the sleepy part out of him. his girlfriend comes over and they sit a recliners next to each other and hold hands and sleep. Weird

sent him this

I tried to tell him that, other than police work infantry doesn’t transfer well into the civilian market. I mentioned mechanic but since he does that now he said he’d just stay where he is.

Yes, I did tell him if he gets married and lives off base he gets extra (he has a serious girlfriend who said she didn’t want him to go but would go with him if he went). He knows how in Iraq everything was tax free and I had a great wife who didn’t spend the “found” money on junk she instead paid down our credit card debt and I invested what was left over. His possible future bride thus far seems as frugal as my wife at that age. Her only concern was she did not want to live on base housing, not sure why. Told him not to worry they stay tied up. I think it’s a good idea and will help him grow up. His mom is worried he won’t like it since I trained him like my dad like a drill sergeant and he always hated being yelled at. I told her the army will fix that .

I’ll let him know. I did tell him check into combat engineers as they get to blow thing up more than us grunts, though they did let us play some in Iraq. I think he is getting bad info from YouTubers as he said soldiers make 40 to 50k these days but I found an E1 makes 2k a month. Slightly less than he makes as a mechanic for John Deere tractors at a dealership.

He opted to throw away his glasses and do without and when he reads out loud I can tell he has a hard time seeing the words.

I told him to have his eyes checked before signing up as they will check and during the MEPS physical is not the time to find out you can’t do what you want.

My son is thinking of joining the army and wants to be infantry and try for ranger. When he was younger he was told to wear glasses but he decided you can’t be cool if you wear glasses. When I joined eyesight requiring glasses could keep you from being infantry. Is it still that way? if so what about combat engineer?

Watch Perry nearly every evening and like that episode.

That’s even better than what I said at supper tonight. We have a honey baked ham store precooked turkey and frozen fixings and my son said he wasn’t hungry and I misspoke and said,” we finally have a decent supper and he’s not hungry?!” that came back to me a few minutes later during supper.

I asked as thought if I ever got an AR pistol I could mount a laser underneath and zero it from the hip since it’s illegal to fire them from the shoulder .

I see these photos of soldiers etc and they will have an optic and laser mounted on top along with a standard front sight. I always felt nothing should be up top other than sights and optic. Why are they not mounting the laser on underneath or even the side like the laser manufacturing company shows online?

Makes sense

Am watching The Caine Mutiny and before battle the crew is told to put on anti flash cream. Why?

I watch these videos of warfare in ukraine and am surprised that they are using trenches instead of foxholes and despite the constant drone attacks using trenches without overhead cover. I see different fire fights going on and rarely are they in a covered bunker and even then the overhead cover is inadequate, especially when you see small drones flying in and exploding or dropping bombs from over head.

Germany did in ww2

They do want them all. A while back the current vice president was very coherent in detailing how they wanted to ban all cartridge guns including those made prior to 1898 .

He only had 4 according to the pics the show showed .

My wife is watching a crime show about a guy who was taking a shower and heard a gunshot and found his wife murdered and so the cops asked him to write down all the guns in his house so they can see if any are missing and she let out a loud laugh .

You always post beautiful muskets

My wife darns mine sometimes

Barney fife called his a Roscoe once. That was 1961 or so
