Oh, I know that part well. VERY well...

I got rid of a bipod like that not long ago - you can have it if you want. It was INCREDIBLY UNSTABLE...

That's pretty damned awesome. That is definitely 🦍 approved...

But, you did that anyway - for a friend...

If you'da had a little piece of bone sticking out, I maybe would have barfed. That's just a (deep) papercut, brother. SuperGlue...

Normally, fingers and toes gross me out. That's weak though. SuperGlue it.

I'm so fukked - I'm on BOTH HOOKS at the same time!!!

Well SON UV A BEOTCH!!! There's only ONE THING screaming out to me right now, and it's priceless. Lesson 65B. You Snooze, You Lose... Just a few short months ago, I announced this as the Valentine's Day Special, from LaRue, and that's how they marketed it - a special. Now the price is up another FIVE HUNDRED DOLL-HAIRS.... Had I known, back then - I'da bought one for ya, Doc. That $800 tag would have almost paid off what I owe you for finding 6 ARC ammo for me locally, and CHEAP! But, had I done that - you'da kept all the ammo now... We're both fucked, both ways...

I've done it, brother, just like that ^^^. Two biggest things were answering to the Battalion Commander why I lit up a CW2 and threw his ass off my range (that was ugly, until I informed the BC that this idiot had a Negligent Discharge ON THE FIRING LINE...). Next ugliest was kicking an SF Captain out of my SOF Static Line Jumpmaster Course, immediately, when he literally missed a cut in a static line on another jumper, before a live jump. Students JMPI, then Instructors go behind every student and re-JMPI every jumper. That idiot missed a cut in a static line, that could have killed the jumper. Had to go to the Group Commander and Group CSM over that one. That student didn't re-enter the course, and did not graduate my course. Nope. Standards are standards. "Minimum threshold" is there for a reason - you meet it, or leave. You don't get to make up your own rules and standards, on the fly. Not when it can kill someone else. *** NOTE - there was an internal investigation over that cut static line. That's some very serious shiit in an airborne unit. It was the way the packed parachutes were stored on a top shelf, in the Rigger's Shed. Pulling down the parachutes from the top shelf (and not lifting them up OFF the shelf) could cut a static line, partially. 4 other chutes with those cuts were discovered, before anyone ever donned them. And the problem was fixed, forever, after that. Practices changed. But that jumper could have died that night, over that, because someone that was in training to INSPECT THAT, missed it. Had someone very proficient not done another JMPI afterwards (always check student work), we could have had a dead jumper - for nothing but laziness or a lack of attention to detail...

For Jumping, I've tangled ass with Air Force Pilots before... As soon as you asswholes opened the doors or dropped the ramps - this is MY AIRCAFT. It's not yours anymore, unless you need to avoid some unsafe airborne condition that just came up. You opened the doors, or dropped the ramp? Everything safe outside?... I OWN THIS FUCKER NOW... It's all mine, and you'll fly it like I tell you to fly it. Been some spicy "disagreements" over that, in the past. Ironically, never had to have any of those conversations with Army Pilots. Ever. Hit your mission brief, plan it all out - they do exactly what you planned in the mission brief, never any issues. Army Pilots Rock.

Oh, I'm with you - I've very loudly lit up a bunch of Warrant Officer Pilots and Commissioned Officers on the range before, on the firing line, shutting the firing line down. I don't give one Rat's Ass what your rank is - on MY RANGE, you belong to me, if I'm running it. I'm the Range Master, Range NCOIC, Range RSO, whatever - you're nothing to me but another shooter, and I don't give a fuk what your rank is on your collar. If you DIDN'T SUCK, you'd be my Range OIC... Warrant Officer Pilots are the worst. They complain afterwards, about "being corrected in front of "Junior Soldiers." My response when they complain, is "Go take your ass to the Battalion Commander if you don't like my decision!" I've never had a problem telling my Battalion Commander why I kicked that unsafe shiithead off my range. Ever. Warrant Officer loses that vanity argument, every single time. It's the same with jumping. If I'm the Primary Jumpmaster of this calamity, I'm the guy in charge of this whole enchilada. If you do something unsafe, that action has no rank. I'll bench your ass, or kick you off my jump, in a heartbeat. It doesn't phase me in the least, what your rank is. This is MY JUMP. I AM the Primary Jumpmaster, and YOU are just another jumper. You have no rank, above my Duty Position right now, right here. You have two choices - do what I say, or get the fuk off my aircraft.

I've got a pretty good story about a trip to Evans Creek ORV Area in Washington, back in the day. I'll get to it this weekend. Badass Jeep CJ-7, full-on Clifford Performance 258 engine... Showing off.

But, you'll go happy, and won't starve! I love cooking on them.

Glad you brought that up - most Civilians think that Military personnel must be good with firearms. Not so. Most are NOT good with firearms, nor are most good at shooting said firearms, nor is safety their main concern (unless it's when they're on the qual range, with someone watching every move they make.). Most military people are NOT "Gun Guys" in any stretch of the imagination. I could go on, about military personnel and firearms, but I'll leave it at that.

#1 Rule for modifying shiit - you WILL find the next weakest link! When you DO find it, it's usually in some spectacular manner, also. So, you do what needs to be done, and upgrade that part - and move on in your search for the next weakest link... It's somewhere. You'll find it...

Too epic to not hook a brother up, and embed this shiit...

Ship to work, you know the deal - keeps Porch-Pirates from taking anything from me, whilst I'm at work. Never ship to the house. Because, Porch Pirates. I don't want to have to track them down, and get your shiit back. It's not gonna end well for me, in that scenario, legally speaking. However, comma, pause for effect... We're building our own building, and it's almost done. Movng into a 45k foot palace for work, so my "work shipping" address will change soon. Call me first, brother, before you buy-n-ship. Let's get it to the correct destination.

Bring that Bad Mk12 bitch out this year, brother.

YAAAAEEEEEESSSSSSS!!!!

You're also good at finding 6 ARC Match, and I'm your slave...

Midsouth is awesome people.

Mine is the Marlin 1895 GBL, the 18" barrel and big loop. I love the thing. Tossed on an XS sight rail, and a red dot, and it's perfect for me.
