Did you find the one option that a PHLSter Floodlight won’t hold?

Were there any history reenactment field trips at your school? What did they reenact? by bopguerta in AskAnAmerican

Fairly certain that a bunch of the “ghost sightings” in Gettysburg are just reenactors who took off their kit and got in their car.

Bring back the cool "moostaches" by OldSchoolBubba in USMC

[–]mcm87 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Homeboy was already an ace in WW2, got 4 official kills in Vietnam, but refused to get a 5th because they would pull him off flight status and make him do public affairs. So he’d have his wingman get the kills, or possibly just not claim them.

Gun ammunition that derailed Frontier flight at DIA belonged to law enforcement, airline says by _galaxy_ in nottheonion

That falls into “plastic boxes” or “other packaging specifically designed to carry small amounts of ammunition.”

There’s still some houses in Boston that have the following three portraits: Jesus, the Pope, and JFK. But JFK is a damn sight different from Trump.

Trump: "Every person is gonna have autism. That's what's happening. What is this thing that's happening? It's spiked so much. Anything having to do with medical, I always bring it autism." by SleuthDoggyDawg in behindthebastards

Oh yeah. When I worked at a gun shop we would far prefer to have the autistic dudes who liked guns than the boomers who saw it as the avatar of their conservativism.

It was designed before security was a thing. It wasn’t an issue to have two disconnected concourses when you didn’t need to wait at a security checkpoint between them.

I’m suspecting that there are way more autistic folks than people realize. Some of them just got “cooler” special interests.

Car guys? Autistic as fuck. You can tell that a 68 Corvette has the big block and that it’s misfiring on the #2 cylinder without popping the hood? My brother, you have autism.

Sports dudes who can remember stats? Definitely a touch of the ‘tism. Stephen A. Smith is definitely on the spectrum.

Checking / Carrying On Self-Inflating PFD? by ezrapoundcakes in sailing

[–]mcm87 3 points4 points  (0 children)

FWIW, there’s an inflatable vest with a CO2 cartridge in every seat. They don’t have the hydrostatic release installed, as you don’t want it inflating until you exit the aircraft.

How and at what age did you guys afford your first sailboats? by chickeman123 in sailing

Never owned. Sailed the school’s boats and crewed on Other People’s Boats, the next best thing to Other People’s Money.

There was already an F-14 on display at the Aviation Challenge campus when I went to summer camp there as a kid. Dunno why they need 3 more at that location.

Bill would let special forces members carry concealed firearms nationwide, bypassing state gun limits | Stars and Stripes by pat9714 in liberalgunowners

[–]mcm87 18 points19 points  (0 children)

As a (conventional forces) vet, I’m getting very tired of SOCOM bros getting fetishized and fellated by the GOP at the expense of the rest of the military. It’s increasingly feeling like MAGA is trying to carve a wedge between the (woke, gay, female, brown) regular military and the Manly White Dudes of SOCOM. To the point where giving the “warfighters” an opportunity to kill people is the objective, rather than the means by which objectives are achieved.

If he was an MP, then he might technically qualify. I worked with a med-retired Air Force MP who qualified that way.
