OK, that's just fucked up J All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing. - Edmund Burke

Actually, it says it happened pretty much as reported, just contradicts her conclusions... J All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing. - Edmund Burke

Peer evaluations are not an uncommon thing in the military... hell, you can get kicked out of Ranger school if your peers think you suck at being a leader. I would think other boat Captains, since they are trained leaders, are in a position to evaluate his leadership, from their perspective... of course his (Kerry's) commander would be the in the best position to evaluate it, since that was part of his job... I think there is some logic in the stance that this should not be an issue, since it was 35 years ago. And, like the talking head mentioned, he's got plenty in his more recent Senate record to discuss. But, it is Kerry who is using his war record, from 35 years ago, to say he would be a good commander in cheif... so who made it fair game? If Bush can keep an arms length between him and the swiftboat vets statements, he has plausible deniability if the argument begins to crumble. To me, the issue of either of their service records does not matter that much... it is what they have done since then, and more recently... there are plenty of issues to debate for both of them there.

I use the same lens for shooting all of those size formations, a 20mm (on a D60)... If I'm just roaming around, going for some different type shots, I may use a 15mm and get in really tight... J All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing. - Edmund Burke

Hey, I forgot that was this month's picture... that was one mad swoop... he almost pulled it out too... Swoop 2 is a cool vid also... I really like the first full swoop the show at the begining! J All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing. - Edmund Burke

The barrel on the 11.5" was 1 in 9... which is what you need for SS109 spec ammo the A2's were designed for... A1's are 1 in 11 or 12 and use different weight ammo... A1s are accurate, if you use the ammo they were designed for. J All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing. - Edmund Burke

I would say that is more the platform, than the ammo... I have hit targets at 500m with a short barreled (11.5 in) AR-15... I shot competatively with M16A1s out to 400m (and got about 90% of them in the x-ring)... J All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing. - Edmund Burke

If we had more refining capacity prices would be lower too... but none of the oil companies are going to beef up refining capacity because it costs too much due to EPA regulations. J All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing. - Edmund Burke

PU55Y was on a Farrari with a very hot brunette driving... I6U9 was on a red Corvette with an even hotter blond driving it... CRPADM was on a Benz with a very stiff looking suit driving... IMANUT was on a monster truck... I could not see who was drving because it was too high up... I recall commenting that it should have said "IMADORK" J All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing. - Edmund Burke

If they choose religion, let the church take care of them... if you can't make ends meet before you have kids, why do you think you can make ends meet with them? In many cases (not all), the poor stay poor because they make bad choices... don't ask me to bankroll their bad choices.

I never said he should get gear... in fact if a later post I agreed with his own comment that he is better off taking the stairs. J All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing. - Edmund Burke

I don't think you will see him step down between now and the election... I think you might see him step down for "health reasons" after the election, whereby Bush could appoint his "heir" for '08. J All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing. - Edmund Burke

Notice I did not say Republicans... I said conservative... The majority (not all) of those that voted for Perot, would likely have voted for Bush. J All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing. - Edmund Burke

In general, I think he could be doing a better job, particularly in chosing whom he takes cousil from, and articulating the case for Iraq... I don't think Left and Lefter are the answer, and while I hold a number of Libritarian views, their platform is not based in reality.

It happend in '92, with Ross P., He drew otherwise conservative voters away from Bush (41), giving Clinton the win. J All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing. - Edmund Burke

Of the people up for election, yes... I think he needs to change some of his cabinet out... SecDef, and SecJus... but IMO he is the "better of evils" J All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing. - Edmund Burke

Correct... it is a rare case that both are blocked, yes it happend on 9/11, but that is not the norm... J All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing. - Edmund Burke

OK... lets read between the lines... the guy has zero knowledge of base jumping... telling him he can survive it is not good advise in the first place... jumping out of a building that is on fire, or is about to fall is liekly to kill you anyway... your chances of surfing a piece of sheetrock down are as good... JP and I commented on someone elses assumption of the height, based on Eropean construction... the original poster asked about a specific building in the US, where the standard floor is 14 ft. for that type of construction... neither of us said he should jump from that height, or said anything about BASE at all... who's assuming what here?

Yes, you are (IMO). If there is one thing missing from this election, it is a centrist. J All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing. - Edmund Burke

It largely depends on what said officer's job is... but if they are in a leadership role, their responsibility is to the troops, 24/7... not split with a part time job... If they are a staff guy... they could very well have after / off hours responsibilties that make it difficult to keep a schedule with another employer... J All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing. - Edmund Burke

But the building he is asking about is in NY, not the UK... chill out dude... J All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing. - Edmund Burke

Given that you are an Officer, second jobs of any real nature are most likely out of the question... both in that your chain of command will most likely not approve it, and your responsibilities will not allow you the time (depends on what you do in the mil)... if you can get a gig packing when you are there, go for it...
