  1. Good read. A lot of valuable points.
  2. And I know just as many if not more that couldn't beat a fourth grader in a spelling bee. Brawn has never out-done brains. Its a fact of life. The dude is juicing.
  3. That's a common tradition done at Marine Chowhalls. Not just on Memorial Day, but all the time. There's always a place setting with the chair leaned against the table to signify that it is reserved for the guys that didn't make it back.
  4. This is an article that my mom wrote for the local paper. A good read for those that care. http://www.coshoctontribune.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=2009905240328
  5. You do realize that the Air Force is fielding these for their special operations units, right? Oh, and they didn't jump on the band wagon until AFTER we had spent all of our measly funds on getting these things built, flying, and deployed in a combat environment. Makes you wonder how much smoother things would've gone if we had the trillions of dollars that the Air Force spends annually on projects like this...
  6. Google search resulted in this: http://media1.break.com/dnet/media/2008/2/25feb27-practice-makes-perfect.jpg
  7. That was early on in their development. As with almost every aircraft, there were accidents during the early stages of R&D. That's just a fact of life. In the two years that I've worked here, I've never seen one go down. Even rode in one in Iraq. They're much faster and more versatile than the 53s, 47s, and 46s.
  8. x2 My shop is only 100 meters from the flight line here at the Air Station. Ospreys, CH-53s, Hueys, and Cobras fly over all day long. Harriers do touch-and-go's as well.
  9. "Everything except the chinese restaurant and the coin laundry..."
  10. So wait... the gas caused by the wood burning is combustable in relatively the same manner as gasoline? Interesting...
  11. Looks like he is running a twilight, due to the lack of traffic. Prett insane...
  12. That's what they all say, kiddo. :jerkit:
  13. Just join the military and be done with it. Your GPA and test scores are more than high enough to get you in.
  14. Everyone's asked what the coolest car is that you've parked, so... what's the worst?
  15. Has the media been progressively corrupting our political statutes by influencing Americans’ moral, ethical, and legal viewpoints through inaccurate and biased reporting? Please discuss. Thank you.
  16. x2 Poorly written, using stereotypes far beyond their "funny" limit, and generally childish in nature. When will the ignorant battle between old and new, domestic and import, ever end? :jerkit:
  17. I wondered how long it would take for that Ben Franklin quote to appear. That being said, what are these devices TAKING away from the citizen? Which liberty are you specifically talking about? They are not active means of controlling or prohibiting action. Nor do they harm citizens in any way. They are simply passive forms of monitoring. These GPS devices perform the same function as the federal government's form of tracking... like credit card transactions, satellite imagery, and cell phone tracing. It is just another way to keep honest people honest, and provide undeniable proof against people already commiting serious crimes. On top of that, these little devices also allow local law enforcement agencies to do with a few officers what would normally take dozens. Rather than having multiple police officers stake out a suspect's house (which they would do anyway if they didn't use GPS) and follow them around town, placing one of these devices on the suspect's vehicle saves the department tens if not hundreds of man hours. Ultimately saving the tax payer (that's you) money.
  18. If you're a law abiding citizen, then what is the problem? They're not just slapping these things on random vehicles. They're doing it to people who've already been suspected of committing a serious crime. People need to quite freaking about all this "Big Brother" government crap. Uncle Sam doesn't give a rat's ass about any of you...
  19. “...the other pig — and their offspring — were killed in an attack by a bear.”

  21. Ummm... what? The pictures are cool at least...
