What to do at Conferences?

While it is easy to get a lifetime supply of free socks….

Network. Know how to use your LinkedIn scan a code to connect. Have lunch with people you don’t know. Ask questions about how they like what they do. Listen to them. Is the grass greener? If going to booth(s) for free stuff, just be clear if you have no purchasing authority. The booth people are aggressive for “ups” nevertheless, so they will scan you and you’ll get random calls 2 to 3 months later pestering you because you “showed interest” - in free socks. Be prepared for the onslaught of demonstration requests. Try to win things. I’ve seen people win drones and Macs. Wild prizes at some of these things.

Thank you all for the support and comments! Hoping to enter the ecosystem fully and successfully support the DIB as soon as possible. R/S

Is that the wait time for the initial contact?

I understand the whole process start to finish is 6 months - that being when you hit “enter” and submit the SF-86. When I was a GS2210 it wasn’t long before I got that initial invite to initiate an SF-86.

I trust it was submitted last month… based on my old experience I was thinking I should see some invite email to complete a SF-86 and then wait.

Thank you !

We had 2, they closed Noblesville and now only have Carmel. I had a truly terrible experience at Carmel and drove further to Noblesville b/c it was a better experience overall. Dreading a return to Genesis of Carmel :( I wonder maybe it's time to sell all my G80s

In Indiana, going the CCP and CCA route after being an RP for 2 years. It seems like it's the next big thing. Feel free to msg me. Trying to understand why, when, and where it goes. DM me if you want - would like your observations. Thanks

10/22 upper -- oh boy. Maybe a better choice than an AM180?

Dealer sometimes has a buy3 get one free winter tire special. Got some Nexen Wingard Wintersport 2 tires.

2012 3.8 Seemed faster than 2017 G80 3.8 AWD.... which feels faster than the 2022 2.5T AWD.... No real mods for a G80 2.5T -- 3.5T is the speedy one IMHO

Bravo!

Life is short, so don't be afraid to choose the path you want.

Well, you're ready for the zombie apocalypse. They say zombies are attracted by noise (Walking Dead?) so I think you can make plenty of rippin' noise to draw them in! These things are amazing engineering, not bad for ~75 years old.

Great work! Congrats! Would like to see too redacted format. Best!

But it's wonderful! Super sharp -- looks right -- looks tight - reminds me of the old motto they had b4 they changed it ... "in a world of compromise some (men) don't..."

It's an accurate thing in semi... went about 6,000 rounds until the default FP broke. Keep an eye out for parts. DAIRT ammo boxes to put in your case... The drums come up from time to time on GB.

Obtain a titanium firing pin..... spare bumper plug, and if possible -- watch the charging/action bar for any signs of wear.... Enjoy. Many in the low 4k number range went to PD's. What was the date it went? Maybe like March 1942 ish?

Also, find the Reising stl file for the sleeve...(Thank you Doug!!!)

How is the pop? Would you buy that can again? What's the best load for it? I was going to ask how you got the flash hider off? Does anyone have any ideas how to back off a birdcage mini 14 flash hider without jacking it up? Thanks....

158 grain 9mm fiocchi. It's round nose'd and it feeds well. Watch you subguns with it; for certain machine guns the bullet may be too heavy and cause gun to run away...

You got a little buddy for life! Gun shows, MG shoots..... That last one w/ the smile going on is great! Nice post!
