I found out that my sister and bro in la had one this past weekend. No being a big coffee drinker myself, I was intrigued. Gave it a go and four cups later I was convinced I had to eventually get one.

I get it now-- I wasn't sure what you were trying to say before. My father had this same issue with a different state, and it never came up until down the road as well. I guess it never flagged because it was with a different database that was NYS specific?

Hello and welcome. When I initially did the paperwork for my FPID, there was a piece of paper that was a part of the "packet" that listed my references (different from the paperwork that is required by the NJSP)-- so, I listed my references twice. When I applied for more permits, I just had to list my references once on the NJSP form.

I'm playing the waiting game myself. This is my first time applying for permits since I got my initial FPID and P2P, which took awhile originally. I actually put my paperwork in 21 OCT 2009, and my references said they had received their paperwork about a week after that. So, I might contact my PD about it in the next week or so.

I believe as long as its a pump, anything should be fine.

Yea, I got a Wii awhile back, though I haven't picked up Wii Sports Resorts yet. Admittedly, I hardly touch my Wii (that sounds terrible), though its great for groups as I do have a lot of group/party games. Still, a great system, and I'm looking forward to how it evolves.

Hello and welcome. Thank you for the selfless service!

Hello and welcome!

mikey has some valid points. While they do have a massive standing army, they do not have any easy way of transporting said standing army (by air or sea). As for their military technology, most of it is Soviet-era, revamped Soviet era, or revamped stolen tech from other countries. The only aspect of their military that is probably pound-for-pound "equal" to the US is their Navy... well, not even so, but specifically their submarines. And honestly, I don't know if Russia would side with China. Russia in its current form is in no real shape to be involved in a long standing conflict. They sell most of their tech and hardware to keep their military fed and country wealthy enough to continue R&D and maintenance of necessary utilities. But then of course, Russia can do what it has always done, and that's take sides with both opposing groups-- and ultimately choosing the victorious side and reaping the benefits.

This is probably old news to a lot of people. But yes, Red Dawn will be getting a remake: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Dawn_%282010_film%29 Filming has started, and its confirmed they will be filming a lot of it in Michigan and Detroit specifically. Its slated for a release next November 24, 2010. One of the primary changes is that instead of a Soviet invasion, it will be a Chinese invasion! Hmm, should be interesting. I know I'll be keeping updated on this remake.

I've been pulled over once (23 myself). I just remembered what I was taught, and has been said by 71ragtopgoat. I kept my hands on the wheel at 11 & 1 until the officer came to my window, and told the officer I was reaching for my license and registration after he asked for them. My only advice is don't be that person who stops after being pulled over in the most inconvenient place when you could have easily pulled into a side street or parking lot. Maybe its against protocol or something, but it annoys the hell out of me as another driver on the road-- and I'm sure the LEO doesn't want to be in traffic's harms way.

I wasn't a grunt, so, Scarlet Knight would be better at answering the question... but my understanding is that you enlist as an 11X. After OSUT, you are assigned or choose 11B (standard Infantryman) or 11C (Indirect fire Infantry). There use to be others like 11M and 11H, but those have be rolled into 11B when the Army decided to streamline the "212" Army MOS' into like 100 or so. The way MOS' are defined is dependent on the MOS you originally enlisted for, and then whatever schools you attend. The schools attended have certain markers, and are added to the end of the original MOS code. I would give mine, but I'd rather keep it discreet :oops:

Infantry

Hey, welcome. Hopefully I'll be transferring to RU-NB myself for next Fall. Spent practically all of my time up there at my friend's places whenever I was home on leave for the past couple of years (though, they've all graduated since, and are living in Edison or elsewhere now). And an 11B huh... haha, I was in for a handful of years, though that was just two years ago now. I shoot at BA myself, and own an XD-- though, its a sub-compact. I'll see you around, and maybe make a trip out on Tuesday myself.

So any update on the time for the meet?

I smoked (quickest way to get promoted! ) for a couple years when I was in. When I traveled overseas last year and chose not to bring any tobacco, I forced myself to quit for good (hopefully). So, I was able to actually complete that resolution last year.

It makes it easier to place/confirm a seated magazine if the bolt is already closed (a hot weapon). Most mishaps with rifles/firearms are either operator error or magazine related... add in stress situations, its just a hot mess. So, its a little trick to resolve a bit of both issues.

- Lose the weight. I just need to find the right motivation. - Finish my Associates, and began finishing the rest where ever I transfer. - Once I get into the proper shape, and if I find the time, I want to hike a portion of the Appalachian. - Get out to the range more. Done with my AR for the most part (and honestly have enough spares for a second AR!), and maybe pick up a duty-sized pistol... or another AR. But done with my big purchases for now (or I say until I get another AR or pistol or even shotty), just need to refresh what I know, and learn more about what I don't!

I was suckered into coming out, and ended up DDing everyone home from the after-after party. Just got home

I always keep my mags loaded one or two rounds shy of their max limit. Old habit I guess.

A dinner up in Edison, but I've had a horrendous cough and sinus congestion since Christmas... so, I think I'll just take it easy tonight.

I have to go shooting more often, that's my responsible firearms' New Year's resolution. But I'd say its definitely been the AR... err MP15. Why? Why not

Happy New Year's to everybody from me as well :occasion-partyblower:

Yea, I thought I was seeing things. Fortunately the snow stopped for the most part a couple hours ago, and the rain will probably wash the rest away in the next couple of hours.

Its Spike, what do you expect?! The ones that stick with me is when the guy tried to be savvy for a date, and picked up like random snails and made it a raw escargot dish... but they were covered in nasties, and the couple ended up getting their brains eaten by micro-worms. Also the weirdo who had a deviant fetish for going "American Pie" on animal hearts. He would give them a slight shock (which would make them pump), and he figured he would up the ante and plugged it into the wall socket and ended up getting his self, and the rest of himself shocked to death... haha. And yea, I'm looking forward to Deadliest Warrior's return. I have to think though, what are they going to do fresh this season? They covered a lot of ground in their first season, and I have to think they might change things up a bit for some variety. And regarding GB's vs. Spetsnaz, the show forgot about the main weapon of the GBs which is precision strike missiles :x , which would have been an automatic win.
