They should ask the guy who was saved what the charge should be. I'm certain he'd walk. :D Way too many idiot law enforcers (they do not enforce laws...they prosecute people they catch) intepreting situations and then the judges play along with them. It's another shining example of one...

There shouldn't be a mortgage if it's already been in his family for a long time. :D As far as the comment on the "land-grab"...well, we did that to the people who were already living on these lands before the white man arrived. :eek: I've always wondered if some Gov't entity is going to...

Hey, if you can't bust a criminal in the act why not make one up by following someone around waiting for them to make a correctable non-violent infraction and blow it out of proportion. Whenever my dad would notice a police car behind him he would pull over to let them pass. Every once in a...

Actually, the avalanche control people use the m102, we would not allow them to use the m119 because we don't have enough for the active army. We are building more m119s soon.

Trebor: I doubt the M16 was ever "re-built". Maybe a lot of parts were changed out on it, but it was never rebuilt. :D

Did you get a receipt for your skateboard? Chances are you could pick it up at the station. The offense is long over.

We just moved back from Germany last Feb ('04). We were stationed at Bamberg for 5 years. I'll be going back to visit some old friends in July between work days.

That's not true. You can still import your weapons into Germany if you (want to) are willing to undergo the same restrictions/regulations/tests as the locals. You are told you can't because they (US Army Officials) don't understand what they are telling you. They just parrot what they...

Sorry about the cold sweats 7677 and db_tanker. Anyone want to vote on Wildflecken? I've been to all of them. As a soldier and a civilian. I am going to Germany for 2 weeks in July to modify some 120mm Mortars...Vilseck included. It may be followed by another 2 weeks fielding some...

Feeding is when the bolt moves the round into the chamber. In a perfectly functioning weapon it can only feed one round at a time. What most firers experience and call DOUBLE FEEDING is a failure to extract (the brass cartridge) while the weapon cycles and feeds the second round where...

Not sure, but if you give it a try don't forget to send your address so we can send you cigarettes. :(

"Better to live near the firing point than the impact zone". Nice quote.... :D

The USMCs requirement for a 155mm towed has to be somewhere under/around 8000-9500 lbs (I forget the exact requirement) so it can be transported by a Blackhawk. How much do the other guns weigh?

The 82nd has only M119s. There are no (active) Paladins at Bragg, (unless you count the NG). The unit I used to belong to at Bragg (1973-74) was 1/82nd FA was M114s, but now they are at Hood and have Paladins. Correct, the General Support would come from Corps, not Division (they like to...

We have the Browning Museum here at Rock Island, IL. It's supposed to be the largest single collection of weapons in one place, or something like that. Lots of interesting pieces.
