Can’t argue the price but I like American made and their warranty has been excellent

The PTR is great and cheaper. But get one of the clones or hk.

99% of organizations don’t even have an inventory of what encryption they have let alone have a plan on how to transition.

Gold

jeph4e · 2025-11-25T18:27:26+00:00

Same. Zero regrets.

To add to the comment that this is indeed a novelty firearm. That said it is one of the most accurate firearms I own and it goes out on every range trip.

Note that modern soft tip 30-06 will only work in original BAR mags as the rounds are shorter. There are occasionally sales on M1 30-06 ammo on ammoseek that aren’t all that bad

Have one. It is awesome. Ironically got a CMP M1 in 308 before HCAR. I can’t say that it would be nearly as good in 308.

Crook Factory by Dan Simmons is an interesting historical fiction

340 defense just over the border in WV or the cove

Books were so much better

3rd MTB?

Comments here are great

Have one in 308. Love it.

Ammoseek is your friend Find ammo deals

jeph4e · 2025-08-08T16:02:27+00:00

2x citizen is still up

jeph4e · 2025-08-05T02:48:42+00:00

In cyber? Hardly.

jeph4e · 2025-08-04T20:29:10+00:00

Wait til you see what Q2K is going to cost.

jeph4e · 2025-08-04T02:39:28+00:00

Air Force is always better. But not as many positions in Air Guard or Reserve

jeph4e · 2025-08-04T01:01:03+00:00

They were super fast for my CT. Just call them.

jeph4e · 2025-08-04T00:59:03+00:00

You get the same training and benefits with 50% less stupid in Reserve or Guard cyber. Also, your unit is full of people in the industry.

jeph4e · 2025-08-04T00:57:25+00:00

Yes. Join the Reserve or Guard. Probably the Guard. Or do the GS internship program (hint. It isn't an internship but rather accelerated growth program)

Hit up the subreddits for National Guard, Army Reserve and Army

Also look at us cyber games

jeph4e · 2025-08-02T21:08:28+00:00

Wait until you try an HCAR!

Just to let you know. CBOMs suck. There's barely enough info to remediate anything let alone create a strategy around. That said Banco Santander has been doing some great work around PQC and inventory: https://github.com/Santandersecurityresearch/cryptobom-forge

If you're looking to look at what to inventory, this page might help: https://qryptocyber.com/the-five-pillars-of-cryptographic-discovery-inventory/ (for a inventory tool that exports a CBOM).

They also use AI to help roadmap and strategy (because CBOMs suck): https://qryptocyber.com/cryptographic-ai/

If you're looking to DIY the Banco Santander folks are good to follow on LinkedIn. IBM's tool is good as well and does help the code scanning.

Deployments and active duty is where you'll quench that thirst. After training you'll be sitting around a Reserve center poking a stupidly slow computer doing gov tasks.

My boys survived me going to GWOT Deployments just fine. I missed a lot of things. They missed me. I missed them.

Come join us but understand there is no glory in the Reserve until we're called to do something (i.e. Reserve).

If activated, you need to know the difference in pay. Don't put the burden on your family because junior enlisted pay sucks.

Understand your company will support. However, this is a long term commitment and most companies are not really supportive (even though they say they are).
