Non-Gaming / Political / Religious Nonsense / Re: What will Obama's Scandals Be?

Friendly fire feels like complete bullshit, but it seems to always happen, and probably always will. In the battle of Nasiriya my brother saw 4 of his battle buddies get mowed down my an Air Force A-10. 2 of which were in a vehicle with a blue force tracker. So the pilot, who as far as i know is still not named, was told by the ground controller that there was no Marines in the area. This confuses me because not only was there an eye in the sky, but a 10 digit grid for air support, and BFT (blue force tracker)

I had quite a few people ask me how I felt about Marines holding an umbrella for the President. I didn't know anything about it until I saw the story on the Daily Show. What I can't believe is how some service members are actually calling it disrespectful and demeaning. Anyone here on the boards who are/were in the military KNOWS that every other day is full of incredible bullshit that we have to do. Oh and those soldiers and Marines that told me that they would say no to the President if asked to hold an umbrella, shut the fuck up no you wouldn't. Holding an umbrella is the least demeaning thing a boot Corporal could do.

I've lost 15 lbs in a month and a half. I swim early in the morning Mon-Friday and lift/cardio at night. Also I stopped drinking soda. Been hitting up PeteRock for some lifting tips so I don't get complacent.

I jump out of airplanes, scuba qualified (but not since 2005), lizards/snakes are cool, I eat my veggies, and I rocket jump for fun. Why the hell do spiders freak me out so much? Even if its a damn spider in a movie or video game it still creeps me out. My first time I trained as a scout in 1995 I failed because I couldn't keep it together as 2 or 3 spiders were crawling on my face, hand, and neck. I was almost demoted during a deployment because I shot at a camel spider. If I see one of those fuckers crawling around the house I either go to my happy place and ignore it or I have to call my wife to kill it. Embarrassing and irrational.

I stay at home and pout all day
me too, just not with as much income I back in the saddle....kinda. Felt depressed since I retired so I got up off my ass a few weeks ago. From 0500-0700 teach Marines and soldiers who fail at CWSQ. Part of the wounded warrior program, driving them to their specialty appointments off post. And my favorite part of my day is preparing high school kids (those who have already signed up for the delayed entry program) for boot camp. That's pretty awesome of you. If I can ask, feel free to ignore, how can you afford not to work, save a ton of money? Good disability? All my deployments since 1994 went straight to the bank or paid off debts. Also medically retired with close to 19 years active duty means benefits for life for myself and family. It also doesn't hurt that my wife has a decent paying job here in Georgia, combined with the low cost of living means I can live comfortably and not work unless I want to. Just bought a house and just 1 monthly retirement check covers the mortgage/utilities for two months.

I don't have to. For some reason these kids I have right now can't stand still, unable to do 1 pull up, and can't run 50 feet before bitching. Poor bastards have until June before the Drill instructors take over

The pilot had the wife and I riveted throughout the whole episode. The show seemed to be able to hook us immediately and remained interesting/disturbing at all times. I have high hopes for Hannibal.

I'm downloading it now. I also got Star Conflict. I guess I need to start reaching out more for evening gaming opportunities.
Hey Hardron, we usually have a group of us on daily playing either Star Conflict or Warframe. Jump on our GT vent if you need any help
