    I can't believe some of this (Anti t-shirts)

    Here is the discription written next to the "Until they came for me shirt." " This black shirt displays a rose wrapped in barbed wire, and a poem detailing how the Nazi terrorists went after one identifiable minority group after another, until none were left. The poem is attributed to a...

    FR-8 Questions

    I'm 5' 10" about 160 with 30" waist. I aint big by any means. Besides my Garand I think the FR-8 is one of my lightest kickers.

    FR-8 Questions

    I shot my FR-8 two weeks ago. Im not a big guy either and I had no problem with recoil. My Savage package series in 30-06 kicks much more. Out of all the rifles I shot (16 in total) the FR-8 was the one that surprised me on how well it shot. I'll never tell that to my Garand though.

    Military Appreciation Day at the Mall. Cool! But...

    We were taught better than that in Boot Camp I assure you! Having said that, these were more than likely reservests. They have more time to "forget" between handling weapons. Another option was they were REMF and shot once a year then cleaned the weapons and never saw them again till it was...

    Shot the ol' M1 today

    Went last week to shoot mine. This is my first M-1 (but won't be my last, I have already made plans to make a trip to CMP's north store) It was a blast to shoot, shot about 1" at 25 yards with out trying. I love this rifle and I actually get giddy when I think about what a piece of history it...

    I joined the Marines - more questions about jobs

    I hope you see the error of your decision to go open contract. You will be put where the Marines want you not where you want to go. Don't listen to the BS about "lat moves" and getting in any job you want, most of the time it don't happen. You still have one more swear in before you ship off and...

    The USMC, Crappy Vision, Glasses & Laser Eye Surgery?

    jrhead75 : Naw we called them that too...but my momma taught me to watch my mouth in mixed company. If you go 03 (Infantry) you WILL get more trigger time than once a year, more like once every other month or so. More if you are spinning up for deployment. When my lease is up its 90%...

    The USMC, Crappy Vision, Glasses & Laser Eye Surgery?

    They issue two sets of glasses in Boot Camp I believe. Once in the Fleet you can order more (no one likes the Boot Camp Glasses A.K.A. BCG) If you have the surgery and fall within the requirements then you should be Good to Go. What jobs (we call them MOS) were you looking at. We...

    Military and Guns; or I'm gonna join up and serve! (long)

    Off base you can carry according to state law reguarding open/CCW carry but that is seperate from your military service. No you can not carry your personaly owned weapon on duty/on base. There is no provision for CCW on a Military facility.

    A teacher raised an interesting statement today...

    It would not be commited with malice which must be proved to convict someone of murder, the most one can expect to have stick without malice is manslaughter. Even back in common law days "self-defense" was a acceptible. Also the act of self defense lacks a major factor that one needs to...
