Since we are entering the graduation season let's look to Proverbs 2. Seek truth. Jesus is the Truth.
The Value of Wisdom
1 My son, if you receive my words and treasure up my commandments with you, 2 making your ear attentive to wisdom and inclining your heart to understanding; 3 yes, if you call out for insight and raise your voice for understanding, 4 if you seek it like silver and search for it as for hidden treasures, 5 then you will understand the fear of the Lord and find the knowledge of God. 6 For the Lord gives wisdom; from his mouth come knowledge and understanding; 7 he stores up sound wisdom for the upright; he is a shield to those who walk in integrity, 8 guarding the paths of justice and watching over the way of his saints. 9 Then you will understand righteousness and justice and equity, every good path; 10 for wisdom will come into your heart, and knowledge will be pleasant to your soul; 11 discretion will watch over you, understanding will guard you, 12 delivering you from the way of evil, from men of perverted speech, 13 who forsake the paths of uprightness to walk in the ways of darkness, 14 who rejoice in doing evil and delight in the perverseness of evil, 15 men whose paths are crooked, and who are devious in their ways. 16 So you will be delivered from the forbidden[a] woman, from the adulteress with her smooth words, 17 who forsakes the companion of her youth and forgets the covenant of her God; 18 for her house sinks down to death, and her paths to the departed;[c] 19 none who go to her come back, nor do they regain the paths of life. 20 So you will walk in the way of the good and keep to the paths of the righteous. 21 For the upright will inhabit the land, and those with integrity will remain in it, 22 but the wicked will be cut off from the land, and the treacherous will be rooted out of it.

Someone quoted accidently speaking the truth. The entitlement mentality on full display.

That little saying means rest when you can because in combat, you don't know when you will get more.

I would recommend a large door to facilitate use for storage. They look great. I am thinking along the same lines.

Went with the 40 as that is what my wife and I carry. 5.56 for the long gun for CQC/medium range work. I have something else if I choose to engage a longer ranges.

I used Pella in my house. I am a Super and Quality Control Manager for a CG doing Military Construction. I will try to help if you have and questions. Maintain presence on site and ensure that problems are caught and fixed early. It will be cheaper to fix now and faster as well. Can't cut it twice and make it longer.

Growing grass on the last couple acres of my place that we cleared earlier this year. Give the animals a little more room to roam. It is nice to have some elbow room and see it turn into what you want it to be.

So I don't own my truck? Makes that little progressive thing or a GPS look harmless, doesn't it.

I will apologize as well for being stereotypical. I agree it is the French gov't not those who answer the nations call.

Great read. There is a lot of respect among allies for our guys. That is why they don't like to come play unless we do. The guys I had as a 1SG in Irag and Afghanistan were like he describes. They area great at what we ask them to do.

Only thing good about them is the wine in their rations. If you can take the whine that comes with it.

The round from that thing looks like a kitchen garbage can flying down range. Lets call it more of an area weapon.

The demo gun would be motivation to not get stuck.

The bridge vehicle is called the Wolverine. The one with the Plow and Miclic charges is called the Assault Breach Vehicle.
2843
« on: April 15, 2015, 04:38:42 PM »
There is an M1 variant that has a plow and 2 miclic shots on it without any main gun. I think it is called a Wolverine. They also put and AVLB on the M1 chassis.

Correct on the name. The gun on that thing had a max effective range that was well inside the minimum safe distance. I spent a lot of time as a light fighter.
