Anyway... so spill the beans about this thread already? What gives? Is Al-Qaida actively recruiting 280-lb chicks capable of wind-sprints to unexpectedly attack us on own streets at night? 'Cuz I'll start carrying a pie everywhere I go as a precaution!

Want to smoke your forearms and have fun doing it?

Try Rock Climbing.

Preping for SFAS I scheduled regular trips to the rock gym. Try doing "Touchdowns" See how many time you can reach the ceiling in X amount of time. Race against a partner.

You'll be smoked when it's over.

Actually Islam is at war with itself with the fundamentalists attempting to co-opt their religion. The fundamentalists are at war with the west as a way of showing their more timid brethern that Islam is all powerful because it currently has shown a strategic advantage over the west by attacking when and where it wants while demonstrating the impotence of cold war manuever doctrine developed for the plains of Europe as incapable of stemming their efforts. The west, not wanting to further inflame the muslim world, has declared a war on terror and refuses to identify the terrorist as being linked to Islamic Fundamentalists by name. The fundamentalists understand western culture better than the west understanding Islamic/fundamentalist culture and is playing on the west's lack of will for any insurgency and will wait us out while we die the death of a thousand cuts. US strategy is not tied to military necessity but political expediency and while unconventional warfare can play a major role in bringing about change within the target states that support terrorist activities and Islamic Fundamentalism there is no comprehensive campaign developed to do so that can withstand the political oversight and idiots who reside on captial hill who put their own careers ahead of the needs of the country. Just a simplified overview from a forest dweller where all avenues of approach are covered by surveillance and direct fire.

Outstanding synopsis Sir.

Good leaders need to be good followers and vice versa. SF teams have both and each member is both leader and follower as the situation dictates, but more importantly they are teams and work best as pack animals reinforcing each other, learning and contributing to each other, sharing in the plan-the effort-the risk and the reward. We have no lead elephants as lead elephants tend to follow their own path and when they drop a load eveyone else has to walk in it.

I am now paying the price for errors of judgement when it came time to allow myself to heal. Not to mention you will never know when that next big chance will come to do something other than what you are doing now and you want to be ready, not only for yourself, but for those who are going to depend on you. I know all you young studs think you are like a BAR with only three rates of fire: fast, faster, and frigging fast. Believe me, even firing at high speed you have to take time to clean out that gas port or you are going to start misfiring.

Aye GOD son - STOP SNIVELING! "Terrain"? "Distances"? What the hell are you going to say humping the Hindu Kush? Try your body weight in the Andes. You don't know what terrain and distance is.

Sniveling about a GD walk in the park! I never heard such a thing. All you got to do is walk a bit and find a stake - nobody shooting at you or chasing you.

Do it or don't - but quit whining about it.

We got coined once on the tailgate of a C-130 at 13000ft two seconds before we were "pushed" off the tailgate. I think it was a MFF committee member that coined us and then pushed us.....bastard had a coin "taped" to his palm.

If I remember correctly we killed and buried him on the DZ.

Let’s start with this: “Please critique my workout...” sounds, very, gay.

And this, “I do them facing a mirror” even more gay……

A Special Forces “workout” would kill most civilians. Just reading what we do for PT can cause civilians to go blind and the reason we do not post one.

Use the search button more and post a lot less. Think of a new screen name, Divinely Guided is getting on my nerves.

Exactly my point, Doc.

I cannot explain how it works. I only care that it does what they claim, consistently.

I cannot tell you how a transmitted signal to a television is translated into a picture either, but I do not really care, as long as it works.

Frankly, I believe that efforts to explain the technology by those who do not really know have damaged the credibility of the ammo as well.

As long as it blows big holes in bad guys, no matter where it hits, the physics of how that happens is not a real concern of mine, unless I am trying to defeat it, or compete with it.

I am still trying to stop laughing:) TR, this certainly supports your views concerning the FN P90 ammo!

We ALL got that SOB

Some grandmother somewhere in America works in a factory soldering wires to a harness that will connect to a little square box containing a little projection camera for an F-16 Heads Up Display.

A young man or woman a year removed from high school pulled pins from 500lb bombs on a hot desert tarmac.

Another kid in America works in a foundry pouring hot aluminum alloys which will eventually find its way to the compressor stage of the F-100 engine that will power an F-16 from a runway.

Someone in America sang in a church choir on Sunday, and on Monday was holding a rivet gun, helping build another warplane, which will help keep us free.

Some group of brave men in the darkness, shined a little laser beam against a building.

Some geeky American, known for his/her math skills wrote a little program that turns numbers into coordinates.

Some young American decided to become a pilot after watching the Thunderbirds or Blue Angels put on a show.

Some young American decided to join the Army and become a Special Operations Soldier that no one knows, because his father and his father's father were in the Army.

Some American you or I will never meet, had an idea, which became GPS.

Some kid who last year was dancing at a Prom pulled the chocks.

Some kid wiped the canopy that a year ago was wiping car windshields in their summer job at the local car wash back home.

Someone working in a rubber factory had no idea that his or her work product was tucking itself into its bay as the pilot brought up the gear 20 ft off the deck.

Some little American girl who years ago was all about MTV and CDs gave a vector, cleared hot.

Some highly skilled pilots did their job.

SHACK, baby.

AMERICA got that son of a bitch.

Every damn one of us.

All I can say is that before he died, I hope it hurt like hell.

My fight songs of choice are the whistling sound of called for fire support, the screaming of CAS, the simultaneous crack of weapons at the end of a count-down, the humming in my ears after a danger close explosion that resolved a crisis, the rythmic sound of a duster used in a ground fire role, the beating of chopper blades coming in to take us home, the droll voice of a C-47 pilot answering my call with "Wicked Talons this is god, where do you want it" followed by the deep belching sound of a vulcan, and that last radio call that tells that the mission was accomplished and we have no casualites. Now that is sweet music to my ears.

Americans are instant pudding people, everything has to be immediate; modern Americans are sterile people, everything has to be clean; modern Americans are liberal, everything has to be fair; modern Americans have never seen a war waged in their own country, they cannot understand what their soldiers have seen and experienced. although their hearts yearn to give the freedoms we enjoy to the rest of the world, the bounties of their own culture will not let them see that it has taken 230 years for a bunch of colonies to become the great nation that protects them from the horrors of what others in this world endure. We understand, we have seen both sides, we have had to be patient, in our training and in our duty; and yet we are still modern Americans, products of our culture.
