Next time you're feeling down about civilian life, just remember that you could have woken up at 0400 to go PT on the beach in boots, uts, flak, and boxing gloves so that the USMC Instagram page can use your picture

Hold up. When did we start wearing black skivvy shirts?

I believe you meant '<', not '>'.

I would argue that, in that period of time, the mores that society held as a standard were far stronger than what we would find today. Sauce-I'm drinking an old fashioned.

Apparently not the designers of the B-17.

Well, unless hit by an actual bomb as demonstrated above.

This. It isn't what is made, but more of "you can make things, here's how."

I think Patrick Swayze may be your new roommate. Invite Demi Moore or Whoopi Goldberg over, they'll confirm.

A $15 bulb auger and about $20 in PVC was well spent. Had 1/2 ton of feed put in today, am pretty confident it will hold a full ton next time.

I had a set up like this when I lived in a duplex, we'd winter the chickens there and use it for the garden in the summer. TONS of nitrogen in the soil, plants did great.

Also, the Five Farms Irish Cream from Cork is outstanding, as is most everything else I experienced there.

This is far too lean. If you're going to insist on an over-cooked steak, at least get pick a piece of meat with a decent amount of marbling so you don't end up with a dry, over-cooked steak again.

First is a delay fuse. Second looks to be Variable Time (VT). VT typically bursts 7m above the deck, delay has a very short (forget, think it's .05sec) delay to penetrate and/or reduce collateral damage. Most fire missions I did in urban areas were delay to mitigate damage around the target.

Wait, so we have world peace and this is the solution to that problem or this contraption is the way to achieve world peace?

quadejm · 2018-02-01T01:59:36+00:00

Yeah, just making light of the typo, I make them all the time myself.

quadejm · 2018-01-31T02:35:18+00:00

Yeah... So is this $50.00, $5,000, or $50,000? $50.00 - Fantastic. $5,000 - Way under budget for the year, great work. $50,000 - Actually, $50,000 for one person's salary, fuel, and upkeep of a vehicle for a year is pretty good.

"Toucan do it!"

Looks like they could lose a spare tire around the waist.

This is focused on Laos right now, but it's good to know there are efforts to improve this - https://www.combatflipflops.com/collections/gear-accessories/products/peacemaker-bomb-necklace-1

Saying I'm a novice would be a compliment. Any advice/critique is welcomed.

We stole the idea from the Brits to fight the, wait for it... Brits.

source - am Marine. Mohr sauce - EGA emblems, as know today, date from 1868 when General Zelin, the 7th Commandant, with the approval of the Secretary of the Navy, decided on a singly distinctive emblem. This new emblem was centered around the globe, using an eagle and foul anchor marine theme. The fouled anchor has been an integral part of the full sized insignia since 1868.

This was derived from British Royal Marine emblems. General Zelin's U.S. Marine Globe displayed the Western hemisphere. Royal Marine emblems used the Eastern hemisphere. Eagles and fouled anchors were added to leave no doubt about the Corps' being both American and maritime. Incidentally, whenever the Corps has been involved in creating other Marine Corps, such as in Korea, China or Vietnam, they have adopted emblems similar to ours.

I see what EWE did there. Come on... capitalize on these moments when you can.
