  1. I was searching for different types of personal aircraft after reading your thread and saw that picture. I didn't feel like posting it up and derail the thread. Anyways, have fun with your endeavor. Remember to keep a parachute on!
  2. I meant normal people. j/k
  3. New episode in two minutes.
  4. Is that what you call it... Only if you get banned too. How many out of 4k members actually log on here? I know it's no where near 4k. I don't think there are too many members on here that are very vocal in their support. It goes as far as "Yeah, I support them". I can think of quite a few more that probably don't care one way or another. When stuff gets posted up that is geared towards the military or vets, it may get a handful of replies. But if it's about politics, or a hot new girl shows signs up, or there is a someone is acting like an idiot, the post count skyrockets. The lack of OR people showing up for this doesn't surprise me. Rolling Freedom had a good turn out but then again, motorcycles were involved. Having nothing to do with my status as a vet, it saddens me that veterans don't get the support and recognition they deserve, not just on ORDN but across the country. But then again, the freedom to make that decision has been fought for and died for which is why Westboro Church is allowed to continue with their views. Yeah, I didn't make this today. I wanted to but shit happens. I support my fellow brothers in arms, but most of that support no one here will ever hear about. All that being said, I know there are those on here that support the troops. I've talked with many of you personally, you know who you are. I thank you and ask that you will always continue to support them. Much of the support given today comes from the older generations of veterans. They know what it is like to come back from combat and be spit upon. They have taught their children to show their support. But for many people it is no different then how in the days following 9/11 everyone flew the flag. Slowly, that patriotism died. If we were to be invaded, the entire country would be behind the troops. Once the threat was neutralized, patriotism would again die off. Thats how Americans are nowadays. /rant

  7. Good luck getting a decent job in the military right now. Everyone ran to the military and now its full of a bunch of pansies, and you prob have no chance of you going in at a higher pay grade either. They don't "need" you so they aren't going to try to entice you to come in.
  8. I think Max Power would be a good choice. You saw him shooting the .22 last time, oh that's right, you weren't there.
  9. I'm calling BS. first is there really someone stupid enough to try that? And secondly the time from the shot to impact looked off to me.
  10. You can't lump all auto technicians together. There are bad apples in every field of work.
  11. lol, basically what everyone is saying is it is personal preference. Best way is to shoot as many different guns you can. Everyone has their likes and dislikes about a particular firearm. If you search you will find quite a few different threads discussing pros and cons of most of the guns that were just recommended.
  12. I remember when we helped with the elections in Iraq. It was something like 75% that voted.
  13. My statement still stands.
  14. If I wasn't anti-gun I would approve. Pay no attention to my avatar.
  15. So is an M&P. Get a real gun.
