I trainded a lot of female officers on the Glock 21. They handled it as well as the guys overall. Not sure about the Sig..45 would be best but we have to accomadate the females, but I have carried a Sig P220 for about 5 years and its a great handgun. when we tested it we put 800+ rounds through it with out any cleaning or oiling between rounds. it didn't have a malfunction till 800+ ( I think 876 comes to mind) went through it. Personally when I was in the AF I carried a 1911. And today my carry weapon is a Colt combat commander (45ACP) which I have carried for about 15 years and its never let me down. I think the military made a big mistake when they went to the beretta. Just my humble opinion.
Thanks for you thoughts in the SASS mag.
I suspect they will stick with the 9mm unless the CinC steps in.

The one on the right looks like a rock. On the left, not so much. I'm not sure what position that's called when they have their hands clasped in front of them. I don't recall it in the Drill and Ceremonies manual, but they are not together. Marine on the right has his feet at the rest position, shoulder width apart. The guy on the left has his feet at attention. Right hand Marine's cap is squared away better.
?
I suspect if their 1st Sgt is watching, he is steaming! 😏

Everyone knows that Davy Crockett died after being bayoneted and throwing a torch into the powder magazine to destroy it and thus prevent it from falling into enemy hands.
No , he was lanced not bayonetted.

Uf course zere iss a difference betveen Our sense und German sense.If they made sense, would they REALLY have an "Uncle Tom Street"?
I bet there ain't even a cabin there.

Yep. This has been in development for a few years now. The intention as I least heard it was to equip cavalry scouts with them. Of course, they're going to create another badge.
Hoverscout badge!

That makes WAAAAY too much sense.
The Germans alvays make sense. Ja?

Looks like an upgrade of an Air Force rig from about 1950.
Personally I need one about as much as I need mumps.

So you're sayin' the (nonexistent) T is on the second syllable.
Anyone know what that's called?
KNIFE has a "silent K". There IS a K, you just don't pronounce it.
There ain't no T in Mozart, but you DO pronounce it. There has to be a grammatical term for that.
The Z in theGerman alphabet is pronounced TS

Agree. Also a jazz fan. But this was not the place.I love some good jazz but this is not the venue for it! It's as bad as the singers that muck it all up!

At least there will probably be fewer people shot in the parking lot tha Oakland.

Ahhhh, I think it is Atlanta, Bob.
But we do have a lot of musicians on our streets.
Quite a few are a celebrity in their own mind.
I keep asking myself why we even play the anthem.
It could get worse on the scoreboard also.
Seahawks got a lot of good press before they left and looks
like they read and believed it.
I still blame Seattle for it.

26-10 Falcons so far.

He apparently wanted it to be all about him with the overly long note.
Well, it is Seattle.

I'm told the Finns are a morose and somewhat fatalistic people.

Navy question..........Okay nevermind
in SASS Wire Saloon
Posted
Watching the festivities, I saw a female Navy Lt. directing VIPs to their places. Then I saw another female Lt. in another group. Both are wearing dress blues but the first had on the traditional female cap and the other had on the male cap. ....? I was confused, but I found this. Changes are taking place in the most tradition bound arm of the services.
