Our unit was even more strict. There were hundreds of old iraqi steel pot helemts littered throughout the desert where we were. Some of them had Republican Guard markings. No luck. Even though the US was giving the Iraqis kevlar helmets. We could only bring back things that we purchased. I ended...

It looks like an AR and SIG 550 mated at Tapco. They mall-ninja'd a good rifle. Why don't they offer a plain jane base model for a little cheaper, and then let the flashlite hangers buy all the extra crap they want? It looks like I'll be sticking with my plain-jane AR for a while. Maybe...

Yuck. They had a good thing, then they turned it into a piston AR. I think it'll still look goofy if the M-4 stock comes off. They also had to please the lego rail crowd by getting rid of the drumsight and slapping a cheese grader on top of it. Why, why, why...... Why can the Canadians have...

Though it may pain you, try and finish up with your schooling. You're two semesters short. The Marines may have a student loan repayment bonus like the other branches. If you really want to join now, see if you could do a split-option where you would attend bootcamp this summer, and your MOS...

My guess is that the safety was on until someone who didn't know the gun flipped it and passed it on. Booze+stupidity+gun noob=death

2001-2002 OEF Cruise, USS John C. Stennis Doing some site seeing up in the Golan Heights. The fortification used to belong to Syria, but was eventually turned into a tourist attraction with dewat 1919A4s and all.
