    On one hand, I am sorry to hear of your accident and injury, and I hope you heal quickly. On the other hand, I am glad to hear that others stopped to help, and to hear stories of lounge-members stopping to led a hand when needed. It is nice to know there are good samaritans out there...

    Do you read WW2-set fiction?

    Master Sniper I am currently reading 'Master Sniper' by Stephen Hunter. I am a huge Hunter fan and this is yet another great one. It takes place near the end of WWII and involves, as the title would suggest, a snipers plot to assasinate a very powerful individual, which I do not yet know the...

    I felt compelled to share and hope nobody minds. On 1 Nov 07, myself and the rest of the Air Force Office of Special Investigations (AFOSI) lost three comrades to a roadside bomb in Balad, Iraq. They were lost while conducting counterinsurgency efforts. This hits very close to home as I was...

    any health/exercise aficionados out there?

    Everyone has been giving good advice. It is hard to say what you should try, since everyone has thier own routines. I try to balance anaerobic and cardio, thought the cardio needs to be at least 30 to 45 minutes to really work for me. Eating breakfast is very important, as is balanced meals...

    Loungers' Pets

    Wow! Sounds like you found the anti-Shiba. Ours will definately run, and I have found that the hard way. They dont want to get away, they just want to see what is on the other side of the street, town, mountain, earth, whatever. We have also learned that they can climb fences. They are VERY...

    Show us your Guns!

    We use red dot optics on our M-4s in the Air Force. I love the thing. For me it feels as though I have situational awareness with it, since you focus on the target, not the front sight. It is also great for night ops, and the ones we have are adjustable for night vision use. We still shoot...
