Just in case. Might have needed it had I been foolish enough to drive. With the ditches around here, though, it wouldn't have helped.

Yes, it is.

EDIT: And fm, I'm around. I liked your thread about 20th century American military rifles, I just haven't gotten around to posting in here much recently. I think I might put up a corresponding thread about 19th-century American military rifles to go with yours.

I know, just felt like creating some activity last night. Mucho Bier helped me make stupid posts and I woke this morning still wearing my PT uniform in my recliner with a bottle of rum spilled over my person. I'm going light tonight, PBR and pizza. Might need to run more tomorrow.

The .338 RUM and .338 Lapua are pretty close in terms of almost everything. I just said the RUM because I wouldn't mind having one in a model 700... actually was looking to buy one a bit ago. Well actually, the M24A3 chambers the Lapua... whatever. Basically the same difference.

And who said I wanted to shoot my boss?

War story:

April '03, Saddam Intl, on an LMTV outside the wall looking at the 12.7 and 14.5mm AA guns mounted around the preimeter. The wall was too high to see over and we didn't know if the expected enemy were there or not. I made sure to point out exactly what that 14.5mm round would do to the truck and ourselves. Scary stuff. Also, I've shared the story of inadvertently firing a http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ZPU-4 back then.

And once you get commissioned, call it fragging, not shooting your boss. UCMJ likes it better that way.


EDIT: Unless (EGADS!) you are going Guard. Then just frag yourself for being an officer and still having a civilian boss.

Yeah I know and sadly ive met more officers that I would rather frag than follow.
