Happy Birthday, Marines! Both my wife and I returned from Afghanistan at the beginning of October. We just had our Birthday Ball last night. Here are a few cell phone pics: http://i342.photobucket.com/albums/o425/leerbowden/Random/375536_10150401883269717_590084716_8191142_802761681_n.jpg http://i342.photobucket.com/albums/o425/leerbowden/Random/302338_10150401889359717_590084716_8191154_1652799720_n.jpg http://i342.photobucket.com/albums/o425/leerbowden/Random/388438_10150401891894717_590084716_8191158_924654911_n.jpg For those of you still down range... stay safe!

Are you on Leatherneck? I think I know the exact incident you're talking about. How long ago was this?

x2 They've been shooting a Chinese 75mm recoilless rifle at us every so often for the past 3 months. So far they've managed to get three to land on camp. None of them detonated though. One crashed through the medical tent (no one injured), one smacked a HMMVW, and one buried itself about two feet underground. I had to dig that somebitch out by hand only to find that the dumbasses put the wrong fuze on it. Just recently they shot an RPG at us while we were prosecuting an IED as well. They must've left the shipping cap on, because we got to watch it skip across the ground like a flat stone on a pond. It tumbled past us and then fell in a canal. We both just laughed and went back to what we were doing while they lit the dude up with a MK19.

I see what you did there...

This last part sums it up pretty well: My guess is that some young grunts had a full on farting contest that got a little out of hand, and ONE of their Afghani counterparts made a complaint about it. As with everything now-a-days it got blown out of proportion to what you see in that article. I'm in the suck right now, and no one has told me not to do any of the things listed in that article. Hell, I try to make a point of being a known dickhead by burning as many of their poppy-stalk stacks as I can. If they hate me and my team more than the grunts, it'll take some heat off of them. They can go fuck themselves with their "culturally offensive" bullshit.

Didn't feel anything in Afghanistan. Maybe it blended in with all the bombs being dropped? :fuckyeah:

JDM, yo.

The 5.3 in my rat rod is carb'd and I hate it. Its been plagued with problems ever since we put it together (Disclaimer: this could be due to me being a shitty mechanic). My tear-down and rebuild will include a low mileage motor from the junkyard with the facotry fuel injection still intact.

I've had them before. Certainly different, but I'll take classic gummy bears over them any day.

I've always argued that playing the lottery once a week is a legitimate investment. So what if you never win. Most people spend far more than $52 a year on random crap (sodas, candy bars, etc.). Why not put that cash towards the possibility of winning millions of dollars?

Paul di Resta: No car Interesting...

Fixed.

Call the FD, then get raped in HazMat spill fines by EPA.

Also a fan of .45, although I have very little experience with .40. I've shot plenty of 9mm out of a Beretta M9 and just as much .45 through my xD45. I find the xD to be much more comfortable, and the recoil satisifying. It isn't any more overwhelming than the M9. As for concealed carry, I've actually been looking at an xD40 or a 4 inch 1911. Like yourself, I'll have to shoot the .40 a little bit to see how I like it.

Its very sad that idiots like that get paid more than I do. Thanks a lot bin Laden!
