Sgt. C.J. Sabre, SASS #46770

Agree 100%. But as a Marine I couldn't let the chance to make fun of the Air Force go by.

Yeah but it was by accident.

Maybe they could transfer to Space Force as Stormtroopers. (C'mon, you were all thinking it.)

Hey Forty, tell Mr. Murphy I said "Howdy". He's an old friend.🤬

I believe that most casinos have their own chips. You couldn't go to another casino and use them. I suppose that you could cash them in at different times, but I'm not sure whether you could leave and bring them back. The most I even played was Blackjack, and trust me, there wasn't any chance that I'd need to report anything to the IRS, or my wife for that matter.

A friend of mine has one of these, though I don't know how Screen Correct it is. (It has grips on it now).

Kinda my point.

One time when I was getting a prostate for a Flightline Physical, the Dr. had me bent over the table and was just getting started. He had one hand on my shoulder, and the other hand where it needed to be. Suddenly I felt a hand on my OTHER shoulder. I yelled and spun around ready to damage me a Squid, only to find that a Corpsman had come into the Exam Room to assist the Dr.

Take him to a Grumpy Lunch Bunch.

NOW he admits that HE'S actually The Fonz!

I don't need to be driven crazy, I'm close enough to walk.

Agreed. The U.S.D.O.T. mandates random drug screening for 10% of all Commercial Drivers per month, IIRC. But I don't necessarily trust them any more than any other Government agency. But since I've never done drugs, I never worried about it. When I got back from my deliveries and they told me, I just went to where we were tested, did as I was told, and accepted the overtime pay.

On the TV show, "The Man from U.N.C.L.E., the final end credit scene thanked the fictional organization, leading some fans to try to find it and apply to be Agents.

Are you looking specifically for a 10mm, of just a mid size big bore revolver? If just a big bore, Taurus made several on their medium frame, the 445, 450, and 455, in .44Spl, .45Colt, and .45ACP respectively, all 5 shot, and all with a 2" barrel. A friend of mine had a 450 and it was a fun little gun. Recoil was surprisingly easy to handle. Though they're all out of production now, the can be found on the used market, probably for a lot less that a 10mm. Charter Arms makes their Pitbull line of revolvers, again 5 shot, but 2 & 1/2" barrels, in .40 S&W and .45ACP. These guns do NOT use a moon clip, but have an assembly in the extractor star that allows the use of a rimless case, but still extracts the empties normally. I had one in .45ACP, but just couldn't fall in love with it like I'd hoped. And I have to say that recoil on it was stout. Just other options that are out there. P.S. If I could find one of the Taurus 450s that I could afford, I'd get it in a heartbeat.

I agree completely. Look what the entire Medical Community did during the Zombie Apocalypse. they called Covid. All of the lies, demands, restrictions, the whole thing. I was fortunate enough to have been pretty much ignore it, but it did a LOT to destabilize our economy, as well as damage our entire way of life. I had a friend who had a "healthy" distrust of Big Medicine anyway, the whole Zombie Apocalypse pushed him over the line. When he got his semiannual Sinus Infection, that he's been getting all his adult life, which was normally treated with an antibiotic, he refused to go get treatment. He wound up hospitalized, on Oxygen. They eventually released him. But the damage had been done. It killed him. I'll never forget that. He was my friend for 50 years.

Same thing in the Marines when we had to participate in "Operation Yellow Flow". 😒 We had a "Gazer". 😏

Well, if they're all living in the same trailer park...

It usually, it appears to me, that whenever a book is made into a movie, whoever does so want to "put his own spin" on the story, as though they think that even though the book is so popular that it's now going to be a movie, the author didn't get it quite right. News flash for any Hollywierd type that thinks that, YOU'RE WRONG!!! The one exception I can think of was the PBS "Mystery" series of Sherlock Holmes. They did about 40 of the stories back in the '80s, and IMNSHO, they did them right.

I've been carrying on my person for over 30 years, in my vehicle for about 20 before that. Never needed it, but always glad to have it handy. There have been a few times that I'm certain that the sight of a gun on my hip has stopped trouble before it began, but I've never needed to actively do anything with it. And I would want to top it off if the need arose, but I'm NOT going to carry loose ammo to do it. A round from a spare magazine as I mentioned before, from my belt slide, speed loader, or even replacing a partially empty moon clip with a full one, yes. But if I've GOT ammo in a spare magazine, belt slide, speed loader, or moon clip, WHY would I carry loose ammo?

The aforementioned H&K P7. ONE guy on Gunbroker has USA magazines for them for $25. I don't know why, when everybody else has USAs for $75, everything else IS around $150.

Somebody get up with Forty Rod and ask HIM what he would have liked back then!

I didn't see "Starship Troopers" or "The Number of the Beast" on there.

If you said that, you'd get in trouble with the Church, which pretty much ran things back then. They'd have you imprisoned or killed outright just to keep their power base.
