That was my first thought too. Pot, meet kettle, you have much to talk about.

Little Johnny is sitting on Santa's lap. Santa says to him "I bet you want a B I K E for Christmas this year," tapping Johnny on the nose as he says each letter. "Nope," says Johnny. "Perhaps a W A G O N?" he spells out, again tapping Johnny on the nose. "Nope," is is reply again. "Well...

On April 1st, I sharpened some 3/32'' stainless fill rods, and swapped them out for the 3/33'' tungstens in my buddy's TIG setup. That was a good go.

I think it's safe to say that most stories on badassoftheweek.com are full oh hyperbole, but they're far more entertaining to read than the MSM versions. That's also why the story from them was posted in Radio Chatter, vice an actual news forum.

http://www.badassoftheweek.com/akaiwa.html "On the afternoon of Friday, March 11th, Hideaki Akaiwa was at his job, dully trudging out the final bitter minutes of his work week in his office just outside the port city of Ishinomaki in Japan's Miyagi Prefecture. What this guy's day job actually...

Didn't that happen to Woody Harrelson's character in the Thin Red Line?

You might be right, but this guy's in for one hell of a ride when he gets to prison. Somehow I can't see life being too sweet for a small, boyish looking foreigner who allegedly relished the thought of killing Americans in Club Fed. He'll be hoping for a yard arm unless he can find some form of...

First off, I must admit near complete ignorance of the details of this dispute before what I've read in this article. I do find it odd, then, that it is Cambodia asking for UN SC mediation, as opposed to the Thais. I always thought of Cambodia as being more of a belligerent state. Again, I...

"Taliban officials reacted furiously to the report, denying its conclusion that insurgents caused most civilian deaths and proposing a “joint commission” between the United Nations and insurgents to study the problem." Uh, sure, we'll get right on that. Just step into this cozy 8'x8' room, yes...

I'm going to be interviewing soon for a shore position with the Coast Guard, and was wondering if anyone had any first hand experience how it is to be with the CCG, and also in the reserves. I've heard thin rumours that some other branches of the Federal Government can be tough to deal with in...

Silk glove liners are a godsend. Super thin, and they add an extra layer of usable insulation. That and some pocket warmers. Keep them burning next to the lip balm you're always looking for when the RSM sees you with your hands in your pockets.

Thanks, gents.

Stupid new guy question: What's all the bar grating that is on these tanks, and many other vehicles I've seen photos of overseas? My moderately educated guess is that it would help defeat some forms of RPG.

The day after should be the stat. Same with St. Patrick's.

This kind of thing should be sorted out before people see it, otherwise they are unlikely to come back and check it out again. I'm including myself in that demographic. There may be good info there, but I ca go to any other number of websites and actually access the info without issue.

A friend of mine is in the Navy Regs, and is getting more or less a fully sponsored shot at a University degree. Books, tuition etc. covered, and his staff have been very flexible with his shifts in terms of allowing him to attend classes at the local U'. It was described to me as being...

Absolutely!

You know, that is as somewhat interesting concept. Instead of just focusing on the army training though, you could follow a few candidates back and forth from weekend training to their civvy lives. That for me was the toughest part of the weekend BMQ; turning army mode on and off in short order...

Does that sound like an exorbitant  amount of money to produce  a reality show in a country like Afghanistan to anyone else?
