Anyone gave plans they would care to share for a backpack to carry your rig in? Thanks. Propblast

they will NEVER give up the Bush lied bs Even though before he even became a canidate, the clintons, kerry and many other said what Bush was saying Their reality has no basis in fact but if they say it enough times they can get the school text books to rewrite history for them I don't think Bush lied. I do think that Bush and Co. made it very clear what intelligence should be brought forward and what intelligence should be buried. I think the intelligence agencies were used to drum up justification for a fait accompli. Ya. This is other made up story Let me refresh YOUR memory: Here you see both truck and rail car-mounted mobile factories. The description our sources gave us of the technical features required by such facilities are highly detailed and extremely accurate. As these drawings based on their description show, we know what the fermenters look like, we know what the tanks, pumps, compressors and other parts look like. We know how they fit together. We know how they work. And we know a great deal about the platforms on which they are mounted. As shown in this diagram, these factories can be concealed easily, either by moving ordinary-looking trucks and rail cars along Iraq's thousands of miles of highway or track, or by parking them in a garage or warehouse or somewhere in Iraq's extensive system of underground tunnels and bunkers. We know that Iraq has at lest seven of these mobile biological agent factories. The truck-mounted ones have at least two or three trucks each. That means that the mobile production facilities are very few, perhaps 18 trucks that we know of-there may be more-but perhaps 18 that we know of. Just imagine trying to find 18 trucks among the thousands and thousands of trucks that travel the roads of Iraq every single day. Colin Powell to UN, Feb 5, 2003. We found the weapons of mass destruction. We found biological laboratories. You remember when Colin Powell stood up in front of the world, and he said, Iraq has got laboratories, mobile labs to build biological weapons. They're illegal. They're against the United Nations resolutions, and we've so far discovered two. And we'll find more weapons as time goes on. But for those who say we haven't found the banned manufacturing devices or banned weapons, they're wrong, we found them. G.W. Bush, May 29, 2003 "My personal view is we're going to find them, just as we found these two mobile laboratories” Donald Rumsfeld, May 29, 2003 "But let's remember what we've already found. Secretary Powell on February 5th talked about a mobile, biological weapons capability. That has now been found and this is a weapons laboratory trailers capable of making a lot of agent that -- dry agent, dry biological agent that can kill a lot of people. So we are finding these pieces that were described.” Condoleezza Rice, June 3, 2003 "We know that these trailers look exactly like what was described to us by multiple sources as the capabilities for building or for making biological agents. We know that we have from multiple sources who told us that then and sources who have confirmed it now. Now the Iraqis were not stupid about this. They were able to conceal a lot. They've been able to scrub things down. But I think when the whole picture comes out, we will see that this was an active program.” Condoleezza Rice, "We recently found two mobile biological weapons facilities which were capable of producing biological agents” President G W Bush, June 5, 2003 LIES, ALL LIES. These "WMD labs" turned out to be making hydrogen for artillery balloons. "Saddam Hussein's armoury of chemical weapons is on standby for use within 45 minutes", another LIE. Yellow cake from Niger (SOTU, January 2003), another LIE. The vast majority of all of the above bullshit was based on "Curveball". "In a February 2011 interview with the Guardian he "admitted for the first time that he lied about his story, then watched in shock as it was used to justify the war." http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curveball_(informant) And curveball was a Germans source. I love how that seems to be oft forgotten. Propblast

April of next year? That seems speedy. Propblast

http://images.bidorbuy.co.za/user_images/112/2168112/2168112_140509085247_8May2014_030.jpg this is the one

So i picked up another Alti. This one is a Northstar. It came with a unattached wrist strap kit. The kit I am sure is the wrist kit for a ALTI 2. This NS alti only has three corner holes to attach it to a wrist mount or a wedge. This makes it different than the Alti II. Where these ever wrist mounted and if so how? I am assuming this one was a chest reserve mount with a plate. Thanks for your time. I am not a collector and like to jump older gear. People hear Im a skydiver and i end up with some odd stuff. Not a bad deal. Propblast

Whoa! That is crazy. Propblast

And if you do not know the difference between collaboration and serving with honor and returning with honor intact... OH clearly you do not. I guess you just like your favorite GOP collaborator... Hanoi John.. I challenge anyone here to endure the kids of torture POWs endured and not talk. You're scraping the bottom of the barrel here Jean. Hey Airdvr Amazon does understand this. If you missed it in American POW freed thread, someone was saying that because there was a picture of Bergdahl smiling with a taliban dude, he was a traitor. This thread is her way of trying to point out that this is not always the case. When you are a POW, your life is not your own and you will be used as a propaganda tool, it doesn't matter if you like it or agree to it. Of course, she is doing it with her usual, always loving and friendly (and never partisan) on-line demeanor.... No one especially me was saying that. I challenge you to show me where I did. Reading, how does it work again. Propblast

Nothing unique in that. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stockholm_syndrome JerryBaumchen Jerry I understand this. I really do and even though Amazon makes great assumptions that she is the only one that understands captivity, she is wrong. Everyone is tracking, that the Army already conducted an investigation, which said this soldier walked off his base of his own free will right? The investigation that was done in 2010. I am not running on emotion like some here but rather facts. All I am doing is posting news articles of interest to this thread. Cheers. There you go ASSUMING... Do you have a clue about my background??? Nope. I no very little about you. I am making no assumptions about your background but am rather stating the fact that you continue to assume no one else understands the things you have posted about. See your last 5 posts. Here is the deal. I am not attacking you, and value your opinion even though I disagree with it. I am extremely put off by your attack dog attitude and the way everything you post is aggressive and lacks knowledge of the folks you post about. You are the queen of assumptions in this particular thread. You have in the past seemed like a nice level headed person, and that quote you have, " treat others as you wish to be treated." I wish you would follow it. I think I have been civil. Perhaps it's just my read, but you haven't been. By the way no thoughts on the previous investigation? Cheers. Propblast

Apparently you have contextual issues as the link states after that... “Recruited for Haqqani,” reads a message superimposed over the picture, according to a translation on CBS News. We could also go to reuters or a half dozen other news sources if you want to look at the photo and twitter posts. I thought they would lead to good discussion. I guess I was wrong, as you are never wrong. You seem to really be hard up to paint me as something that you haven't been able to do. How about you concern yourself with the story and not with me. Your arguments continue to be weak on this issue. I'm a little surprised at you because until this and your incessant attacks on me I actually thought you were fairly intelligent. Now throughout this site I could care less to see what you post and actually question it's validity. Congrats for completely turning me off of all your viewpoints, including in the history and trivia were I used to enjoy them. Propblast

Again Amazon you make some unfounded claims about folks. Enjoy thinking you are the smartest person in the room. News flash all I did was attach a news article. I have even continued to post them from varying sources. Not including your favorite, Fox News. Ignorance is bliss sometimes. Propblast

Picture of smiling Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl posing with Taliban leader surfaces on Twitter http://www.nydailynews.com/news/world/picture-smiling-army-sgt-bowe-bergdahl-posing-taliban-leader-surfaces-twitter-article-1.1861545 The undated picture, which features the soldier standing next to Badruddin Haqqani — a senior member of the Haqqani network killed in 2012 — was tweeted by someone associated with the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan, according to a report.

[url] With a 16" barrel you are going to want at least 57gr ammo. You might be able to get away with 52gr but I would try a couple rounds before you start buying in bulk. The problem with short barrels it that they don't necessarily allow you rifle to build up enough back pressure to cycle properly. I had an M-4 with a 10" barrel for a while and 52gr frangible rounds. It turned my gun into a single fire weapon. I would say go to a store with a range and give it a try. And don't buy .223 ammo for your AR. .223 while it will chamber and shoot, it's not exactly the same round. 5.56 NATO has a lot higher velocity and it's what your gun was designed for. If you shoot .223, your accuracy will suffer. Like wise, 5.56 NATO will wear out your .223 rifle at a slightly faster rate also, if you shoot lots that is. I have built and compete with ARs for years. This isn't all true. 14.5-16.0 inch barrels were cut for the 62 grain. Really twist rate is what is important. 1/7 twist is set for 62-77 grain. It's a fairly fast twist rate. The difference between 5.56mm and .223 has nothing to do with velocity and everything to do with pressure. 5.56mm has a higher CUP pressure which won't lead to barrel wear but may lead to chamber erosion or even explosions. Buy 62 grain anything for the AR anything else is a waste. Propblast

62 grain is what I would recommend. Anything heavier than that is a waste. 62 grain is standard. Propblast

The key statement I took away from that was "I couldn't see exactly" Propblast

No skin in the game. A factual report absent any emotion would probably kill this. Not an investigation but just an, X happened and Y was the result. Then people on both sides could stop speculating. Lack of a response is worse than any response. Bad news never gets better with time Propblast

Terry, I was just wondering if my emails went through? Propblast

Or you really just want packing tips in a non loft setting, like in the grass on an airport? This Propblast

Also if anyone can point me in the right direction of a 4 pin ripcord I'd be appreciative Propblast

Had the Gary Lewis manual! I guess I'm more of a visual learner! I own two para commanders now. I really want to learn to pack em correct. Propblast

Contacted the manufacture and there isn't a lot they can do as I have gotten many good years out of this thing. I don't blame them in the least as electronics are perishable. I have to say there response times are amazing. Sad I used it solely as a log and it seems that it won't be able to do that anymore. I guess I truly didn't need that info anyways as I still paper log everything. Propblast

Could someone make this video ! It would be awesome. Field packing tips preferred. Propblast

Partisan or not - the guy cost resources and lives. There is NO FUCKING WAY that anyone in their right mind can possibly agree that it was a good trade. Well . . . there are some that do . . . but their issues are mostly mental health related. I think you should reread this thread as you are attacking the wrong person. I am in agreement. I just dont care about the fact that one party did this or the other did that. BB walked off his base and jeopardized alot of folks. His release has done the same not just for folks currently on the ground but for the Afghan people. Propblast

Some notes from the Post and other news sources yesterday. These are more relevant than your partisan bickering. Full, who was honorably discharged and served with Bergdahl in the same fire team, the military’s smallest type of organized unit, railed against Bergdahl’s attitude during his deployment in 2009 and rejected media reports that he was a sensitive young man trying to define himself during a time of war. ----- Mike Waltz, a former Army special forces commander in Afghanistan, testified that the search for Bergdahl allowed the Taliban to lure soldiers into traps. “My men were lured into ambushes, including an Afghan home rigged with explosives, a car bomb that was primed to explode, and other types of deadly traps,” Waltz said. “All of my men, me included, were absolutely furious and resentful, frankly, that a fellow American soldier had put us into this position.” ----- Propblast
