To further advance their career? A different challenge? They feel they could be an asset to their unit as an officer? The reasons for a member to CFR are numerous and varied. It goes without saying they vary from person to person.

Sorry, we don't wear a beret. Or a capbadge, for that matter. I'd be lynched.

Clothing online - logistkunicorp.com. I'm looking at it now, and I'm offered the choice of green, black or maroon berets.

Height to weight works about as well as the old "if your hand is bigger than your face you have cancer." It's not a reliable tool for people who have a decent amount of muscle mass.

Nothing has changed. A few generations from now we'll be hearing exactly the same arguments. "The children now love luxury. They have bad manners, contempt for authority, they show disrespect to their elders.... They no longer rise when elders enter the room. They contradict their parents...

Maybe I'll bump into you, I'm supposed to be doing that parade too. Sorry, can't help you after, gotta get back to Valcatraz.

There were a lot of things that needed to be changed at HNIC. This wasn't one of them.

All of Rob Schneider's films.

I get the same thing - except the non-existant chest problem isn't much of a problem for me. I'm a small guy to begin with, so I don't have long arms. While I can still get a grouping of under 100mm with the mag off the ground, when I lower it down, my results improve dramatically. I wouldn't...

Mag on the ground does cause stoppages - on the SAT machine. >:D

First thing's first - know and apply your marksmanship principles. Failure to correctly apply them will result in a poor score. Try to ensure that your hold on the weapon is appropriately firm, so it's not shaking everywhere. Some people I know will wrap the sling around their elbow or tuck the...
