  2. Even this statement is wrong Tobacco and tobacco-related products have a long history that stretches back to 6,000 BC. The plant today known as tobacco, or Nicotiana tabacum, is a member of the nicotiana genus
  3. Prohibitions: In Islam, everything considered harmful either to the body, mind, soul or society is prohibited (haram), while whatever is beneficial is permissible (halal). Islam prohibits Muslims from consuming pork, alcohol or mind-altering drugs Know thy enemy
  4. Combat Patch - participation award for deploying with unit, may be a Fobbit and never leave the FOB and see combat While the CIB is awarded to infantry soldiers for participation in ground combat, The EIB is presented for completion of a course of testing. To be awarded the EIB, the soldier must complete a number of prerequisites and pass a battery of graded tests on basic infantry skills. (Combat not required) And Yes you can be awarded the CIB with out "testing" as well combat dont care how well you tested with a bore sight Then you have the CAB Combat Action Badge used for non Infantry MOS's that actually see combat fire

  9. MUSEUM MONDAY - ARTIFACT HIGHLIGHT - QUILTED GRAPESHOT During the Revolutionary War, Army cannoneers used a devastating type of ammunition, called grapeshot, to cut through lines of advancing infantry. It was made of a wooden base, called a sabot, a wooden rod, and a canvas bag filled with iron balls fixed around these wooden parts. Twine was tied around the outside to help the projectile keep its shape. It was coated with red oxide paint to prevent the shot from rusting. The finished product loosely resembled a bunch of grapes covered by a quilt, giving the projectile its name. When fired from a cannon, the bag and wooden parts would be blown apart and exit the cannon with the iron balls in a cone of destruction much like the blast of an oversized shotgun. The effective range of grapeshot was around 300 yards
