The best PT is scheduled unit PT. And not "fun sports day" stuff but circuit training. Three times a week (everyday is preferable). I have been plenty of places and done plenty of different approaches to fitness, and the one that is consistent and gets the job done every time is the one where...

This is very different from the gun fights they show in the movies.

West coat jetty replacement is in phase 2. And I think they are almost done the environmental for the ammo jetty replacement. Jetty cranes are coming for B jetty west coast as well, now that its open and approved. East coast no idea, but frankly west coast needs it more (if you had to pick a...

No, I'm certainly not the CRCN. But I may just be a Kraken.

Not necessarily. You're assuming the VLS are flush with the deck. What if they are flush with the top of the superstructure? Those sit proud of the deck. As well if there are no hangar facilities (which no one expects there to be) then you open up a lot of space for creative design. If...

Their ergonomics leave much to be desired. Lots of space taken up with limited add on capability. Better to have VLS not SLS.

Not true. Ice strengthed hull (which doesn't actually have an engineering definition) limits damage when there is light surface ice. If you want to transit you would require an icebreaker as escort. Lets not Frankenvette this. Keep the through line. Already we're trying to desgin a strike...

That's likely going to Korea, not to us. But you never know.

Yah the lying comes later when they say they fixed the problem.

I was suprised that Russian 30mm don't have APFSDS rounds. Wow.

No no. We let the ships self select retirement. Only people are forced out of service at 60 years old.

It's the only thing that remotely matches the requirements. If selling the F35 to the public is getting harder, the HIMARS system will be harder.

It's not just Germany going wheeled. Finland, Sweden, UK and the US (as well as other allies) are turning to wheeled artillery. US of course is just adding to their toolbox, and France are addicted to wheels, but the UK will have two wheeled artillery variants. So what factors are we not...

I'm poking you on purpose. I'm going to be wheeled guy from now on. Just to irritate all you irrational tracked folks! (because all falling in line with one way of thinking is boring). And Ukraine is showing that the long range 155/52's on wheels are very survivable and have higher...

I never thought I would say this but I miss the homestead family feeling of Regan.

And I prefer something that will survive which the K9 will not because it's to slow to evade counter battery fire. Yah I'm drawing that line. Armoured artillery is yesterday's gun. We're at shoot and scoot survivability now and tracked SPGs just can't do it anymore.

Oh geez, I laughed so hard at this is forgot which way way gravity worked for a minute!

Not trusting someone and victim seeking behaviour are not even remotely close to the same thing. Do not conflate them. We have been a good trading partner and worked fairly well to resolve disuptes and issues with the US. On trade we were working within the rules negotiated by all...

Valid concern but the trust has been broken. No matter who is in the Whitehouse we won't fully trust them again for a long time.

Yes. Because the US is now a regional competitor. If they don't know what's going on in the Arctic because we aren't able to tell them they will go there themselves (as an example). And that no longer looks quite so friendly or helpful. When your going through a breakup you now have to be...
