Several of those vids show the Bradley shooting on the move. Goes to good training I imagine.
And wailing on that Russian BMP at point blank range is ballah.
Stabilized turret. Point the gun at the target and no matter what the rest of the vehicle does, the gun still points at the target. Same as the M1s. Training is important but shooting on the move is pretty easy with the modern computers.

Maverick got Kelly McGillis pregnant and she hid it from him. Mav's kid is the new pilot. Plot twist... it's a she. Mavette hooks up with Rooster for some cock a doodle do, gets pregnant and during the big dogfight a missile has lock on her. Rooster tries to knock it down, misses and Maverick does a kamikaze to save her. Flash forward to Mavette accepting Mav's MOH holding Baby Pete. Squadron fly over, roll credits.
Send my royalties to Burnt Ends.
This wouldn't be very believable since Kelly McGillis was past childbearing age in TG.

There have been studies done about the impact of home crowds on officiating and it isn’t nothing.
These guys are human and hear what is being yelled and the reactions.
I reffed football and basketball for a few years. I know it's hard. I also know that competence comes second to politics and the good ol' boy network in advancing. That's why I have very little respect for most of them

Games like this is why I get so frustrated watching NCAA hoops. These officials are clowns.

Foul trouble is going to fill us in the second half at this rate.
This game isn’t being called evenly.
Not even close. It's a joke.

Why do I have to "confirm" every fucking thing I'm doing these days? I make a Drs appointment, they text me to confirm like 2-3 days before I'm supposed to be there. What if I have something come up the night before? I made a reservation at top golf last night, going there on saturday. I just got an email to confirm. well, no shit I plan on being there. I paid a fucking deposit. Why are these places so fucking desperate to "confirm"?
Probably not the answer you're looking for but I work in healthcare IT and work with radiology and cardio imaging, and we found that if we didn't do confirmations a few days prior to appointments our no-show rate was insane. I'm talking 50% or greater. It played hell with staffing, revenue, and satisfaction numbers. Once we implemented a program to reach out by phone or electronically our no show rates dropped below 10%. So, in short, it's because if we don't remind people they don't show up and have to be rescheduled and the clinical staff sits around getting paid to do nothing half the day.

Mine are all homebodies and introverts. I think the oldest was around 14 when left for a night, but she had younger sisters. My parents and brother live within 1/4 mile of my house so they had someone to call if needed but they never did. I think 13-14 if they aren't idiots and you have a phone tracker on them.

I enjoyed it very much. Agree that it's a different experience than the original but I found it very thought provoking and the performances were top notch.

I had a bigger issue with the plot, but I often suck at these things.
Why would killing the protagonist mitigate blowback/loose ends for the billionaire client? Blowback to the billionaire would occur if the Parisian survivor did some digging and found out that the billionaire tried to have him killed. But whacking the hitman that has no idea who the client is accomplishes nothing. Instead, the billionaire should have had jackie chiles whacked - that would cut off the trail leading back to the identity of the client.
More money, that's why. Extra $150K. Just soaking the rich guy for more money.

Highlight of the DP Championship (or whatever they call it) - as a former club thrower myself I give him a ton of props for thinking he could knock the driver out of the tree.
Full disclosure - my last thrown club was as a HS junior, when my driver got stuck in a tree off the 7th tee. And it stayed there for over a week, finally fell and it was in the pro shop after someone turned it back in. Tommy Bolt was right - "if you are going to throw a club, throw it ahead of you because you save energy as you are headed that way"
Growing up playing with my Dad, I retrieved his driver for him on average twice a round. He was always nice enough to rifle it 30 or 40 yards down the fairway so I could usually just lean out of the cart and snag it on the way. I was never much of a club thrower but I might have hammered a few tees into the ground like John Henry after a railroad spike.

King gets far less credit than he should in general. He was a dynamic, effectual leader who had a wealth of Navy service under his belt. He'd commanded a sub base and the Lexington before the war. He wasn't some battleship guy who thought that WWII would be fought like Jutland.
There is a great book I recently listened to. The Admirals by Walter Borneman. Focuses on the Five Star Admirals and their careers up to and including WWII. King was the right man for the job.

A fire destroyed millions of veterans’ records. 50 years later, families are still seeking answers
The July 12, 1973, fire in Overland, Missouri, consumed an estimated 16 to 18 million personnel files, the vast majority covering the period just before World War I through 1963. It’s believed to be the largest loss of records in one catastrophe in U.S. history.
It is an event that dogged untold veterans, forcing them to fight once more — this time for benefits, medals and recognition they’d earned. It echoes to this day — in the struggles of families seeking to document the achievements and sacrifices of loved ones, or to bury them with full military honors; and in the efforts of conspiracy theorists, still searching for proof of a nefarious plot behind what government investigators long ago wrote off as most likely the careless act of a single man.
More than anything, it highlights the monumental, ongoing effort to reclaim the history that, at the time, seemed irretrievably lost.
My grandfathers records were lost in this fire as well.

It's a damned shame. I, too, hope it wasn't arson. @Paco was stationed at Tustin when it was MCAS Tustin. He has some great stories about that hangar.

Who's in command there? Marshall Foch?

I've gotten the "this is the dems fault" comment a few times. I eventually settled on "you should look up the word "majority" in the dictionary."

You told your wife about Surly?
She's appeared in the "Stupid things wives do" thread so I felt compelled to tell her so that she would think twice in the future. She lives in fear of making that thread again so it helps me in the long run.

I took the test in San Antonio when I got out of the Army in '92. Did well but wasn't selected. In retrospect, I'm very happy about that.
