A forearm across the throat doesn't really count as a punch, does it? I've been three years since I actually punched anybody, and I really don't think this should count.
Some people asked me to move this question from ask the experts.I was asking what was thought of the Colt 1991 A1.i got very few replies and they were all positive.I have seen other people ask about thoughts on different firearms and they got several pos. and neg. answers about the firearm.I posted the ? twice and got only a few answers all pos.Most any weapon has faults that someone doesnt like.Thats what I would like to hear.I am not looking for 100 answers just a small crossview.Maybe posters on this site like colts so much they wont say neg things about them.There has got to be something someone doesnt like about them and that could be a reason for me not to buy.
got a question on the sure shot bullets. I have a few that someone gave me for a 9mm. Basically just a little shotgun type of bullet (w/ little bb's in it) I haven't fired one through it because...well I just don't won't it to mess up my gun. Have any of you guys shot one through one of your guns?

Why does the US has so many bases out in the world? Germany, Japan, Greenland or is it Iceland, Korea (I understand. unfinished business) and others. Is it because of N.A.T.O.? If so why aren't there British bases in US? Or even a French base in California [:D]?
To me it basically reminds me of Roman days but globally. I just don't see the need to keep occupying places like in Okinawa. I mean Korea is just up a ways and there is a reason for being there.
So if someone would be kind to let me know why I'd be greatful [;)].
ROSIE!!!! We sophisticates call them "overseas" caps in polite company. Amongst ourselves, tho, we do describe the cap that way. BTW, I didn't realize the Army gave them up.
Regardless what they were called, that is about the meanest word in the language.

Once had a young lady ask me what we called them & before I thought I told her.Fortunately she had just gotten here from Scotland & I don't think she knew what the word meant.I dated her for a short while & when I shipped out to Germany I lost her address.I got a very nice letter from her but it had no return address. I got a second letter that was not so nice (again no return address) & then never heard from her again.
First to answer your question: the black beret has replaced the "garrison cap" to be worn with the class B uniforms as well as the saucer cap for class A and dress blue uniforms. Second try this sometime: have a daughter who is in JROTC and have her ask you what the cap is called with her friends there with you in the vehicle. I had a massive brain cramp until I could stumble and mumble "garrison cap". Said daughter is now a junior in high school, a company commander, and the only female on the competition PT team. One tough cookie that one. She drives a Ford F-150 and I took her on her first deer hunt two years ago.
Forgot to mention that she is 5'7" and weighs a whopping 105 soaking wet, but can still outrun, out push-up and out sit-up just about everyone in the JROTC program.
Hey pig, I noticed your hello the other day just did't get a chance to say "hi". Being in Arkansas just as you are, I too experience the kittens in the oven thing. I get a lot of "yo're not from 'round yere are ya?"
Susie--The black beret is NOT worn with the dress blue uniform. As far as garrison caps are concerned, good riddance! They make you look like fast food employees. Actually, within the last year or two the Army proposed replacing the current Class A uniform with a style and color akin to the WWII uniform. They also changed the Physical Fitness Uniform. No more sweats! Now soldiers wear a warm-up suit similar to what we wore in track. It has zippers in the arm pits for air circulation and is contains reflective material. However, the Army still requires that soldiers wear that gosh darn reflective strap when they go running. I think someone at the top was getting kick-backs from the manufacturer of those reflective straps.
Husband and I attended the dining out last month and I thought I recalled him carrying the beret to wear. Since we arrived after 6:00 it was a moot point.

The beret may be controversial but the new physical fitness uniform is certainly an improvement in functionality and comfort. It's warm yet breathable and the short and long-sleeved shirts are moisture-wicking. Good stuff.
The army gave up the garrison but the navy was right there to scoop it up, now it's an authorized cover for the winter working blue uniform and it sucks!! Give me a whitehat any day! Also for the army to adopt the black beret for regulars is a slap in the face to all the Rangers! Why should Rangers have to adopt a new color, and tan at that! For all the beaches they landed on, someone don't know history. They should have made it out of silk representing a parachute if they wanted to honor the Rangers in WW2. Why are people so prone to breaking tradition? Some things you just don't mess with.

But I posted and answer to jpwolf's post.
He states that homosexuality is learned, a choice or lifestyle, if you will, and that it can be "unlearned".
I say it is inate, you are born gay, and that's that. You can't change that fact.
waht do YOU think
Please, leave the Bible verses and the religion bashing at the door, I just want a simple answer, so this will not get locked or poofed.
