You do not have to have a license OR register the weapon to own a gun in Pennsylvania, like much of the rest of the country. Shotguns are very open in terms of laws anywhere really. Just need to be 18+ and pass the background check to buy one. THIS. The parent should be charged AS WELL AS the kid. Just as much their fault for not locking up their guns, not teaching proper gun safety, not paying enough attention to their kids. He won't get torn up in prison. He would be placed in protective seg until he would be able to handle himself in general pop.

Lol this video made me smile. [hide=Video][yt]3ObUXS4KD7s[/yt][/hide]

Sweet. My first car was a Jeep Cherokee, i always wanted a jeep....was lucky enough to get a like new one for my first car. Still running strong. What does everyone think about the new 2010 Camaro? It should definitely be affordable for what you get, probably a little above the Challenger if not on par with it and above the Mustang GT models performance wise. I'm not sure I like the look though. Looks way to much like a comic book spaceship. Its got a mean look to it, but it almost looks to....caddilacish or luxury for me. Doesn't have a rough tough look to it like i see with the challenger. It seems more like a car someone who would buy a lambo or ferrari would get, not one of the good ol boy muscle car types ya know? I guess its just gotta grow on me. I tend to like it in black more then other colors, but its still no Challenger IMO. Its slowly starting to grow on me. I'll need to see it in person/test drive to see though. [hide=2010 Camaro] [/hide]

One of the cool little features in the new dodge challenger is it basically has a stop watch in the car. Click a button on the steering wheel and it shows up on the display right under the MPH gauge and when you start moving it starts working. Clocks Gforce, 1/4 mile time, 1/8 mile time, and 0-60 time. Pretty awesome if you ask me. Definitely not a need in a car, but hey this is a DREAM car thread so why not get it with all the features and toys. And just because i need my fix... [hide=Challenger pr0n ;)] [/hide]

Thats why i like the Challenger a lot. Its got that boxy classic look to it, smoothed over just enough. Still looks like one of the classics. Also i agree, WAY to many mustangs. And what gets me is people get these beefed up shelbys or GTs and they are like a 30-40yr old woman. Waste of a car. The challenger is new, not many people have them especially with the recession and i think they look a lot better then the new mustangs. If i were going for an older mustang it'd have to be the 69 fastback, BOSS 429, BOSS 302 or mach 1. [hide=] [/hide] How about a 454 Chevelle SS [hide=454 Chevelle SS][/hide] Nothing sounds better then that idle of an old american muscle car. I really hate how cars these days look futuristic. I'm only 22 but can't get enough of the older ones.

Dodge Challenger SRT8. By far one of the sexiest looking cars to come out in the last 5-10years. The best "throwback" any company has come out with yet. It just looks menacing. I WILL be buying one of these after deployment, no doubt. [hide=] [/hide]

WHAT?!?! Wow. Seriously? You have no idea. You do realize that there are mostly non combat jobs in the military right? The ground pounders are supported by many many many other operations. Who said women would be out there kicking in doors. You're statement is just stupid and ignorant anyway. Women are actually a prized possession to the US forces in Iraq and Afghan because the native women feel much more comfortable being searched and talked to by a Woman in the US military. They give more information to women and it settles problems down, keeps the guys out of trouble. Like i said, some of the best machine gunners (Meaning someone needed to step up and volunteer for a patrol or the position) have been women. They defuse a lot of situations before they start. In a mostly male dominated profession, having that small hint of female presence there is enough i promise you. Females are trained the same, they get the same weapons training and marshal arts training. So why would they be at any more risk then men? I fail to see it. Sign em up.

Draft meaning selective services. Further meaning that if the United States needed people to fight a war they could enact this draft and pull people at random and force them to join for "x" amount of time. Much like the draft during WWII. I doubt the draft will ever happen again, but like stated..its possible. I'd like to see it happen. Some of the best machine gunners i've seen have been women. They are fully capable of doing the job so why not?

Still waiting for the actual orders but i've been told i'll most likely be ending up at Al Asad Airbase or TQ (Al Taqaddum Airbase) in Iraq by July or August of this year doing what i did last time, running flightlines. Should be an 8month deployment. Damn, gonna miss another football season. #-o

The Reserves are a great option for some people. After all of your training its one weekend a month, two weeks a year. The rest is spent just as you would a normal civilian. Going to school, working a normal civilian job, etc. Cool thing is, you still get the training the active duty folks get. You go to the same bootcamp, same combat training, same MOS training, just separate from them after that and live a more civilian life. The reserve programs also guarantee your MOS. MOS's are classified by a 3-4 digit code of numbers and letters that signafy the job field and specific job. (0311 - Infantry in the Marines) Take a law enforcement job in the Army for example. Active duty folks will only be able to pick 31x as their MOS, and the specific job will be given later on. A Reservist can pick, 31B, 31D, or 31E as their specific job. An active Marine can pick 03xx, where as a reservist can pick 0311. Reservists can have any job in the military, as long as there is a reserve unit close to him that supports that job where he can drill each month. A lot of active duty people make fun of reservists, but they really have no reason to. I'm on reserve status currently. It takes a lot of dedication to be a reservist. Living a civilian life and a military life, having to drill once a month every month. And you go through all of the same training active duty does. You can get deployed just as much as them too. Its still nice being able to be in the civilian world. Combat training is given to all military personnel, of some sort at least. Marines and Army get more then Navy and Airforce of course. If you go into the Marines or Army, you should come out being proficient in shooting the M16 as well as doing your main MOS. The Marines stress it more then the other branches, "Every Marine is a rifleman" is one of our main sayings. Not sure what the Army trains on specifically but i've been trained on the M16, M203 grenade launcher (scarface), M67 frag grenade, M249 SAW, and the best the M240. You just must go in knowing that just because you are a pencil pusher in Admin, doesn't guarantee you won't be stepping outside of the wire if deployed. If you are in the military you are deployable and your job could change with a snap of the fingers overseas. I'm a landing support specialist, worked airports and ports loading planes, choppers, ships, etc....but i've also done security patrols outside of the wire and for the base, basically an MP's job. Its all in whats needed at the time. For the most part, right now, you'd be working in your job during a deployment. Back when we still had major combat operations going on you could easily be stuck in a turret of a Humvee and sent out with the grunts. It might be a prime time to join any branch. Wars are winding down for the most part, still in Afghan though. The economy is struggling and its tough to find work, the military is a guaranteed paycheck. Also, its work experience. Companies don't have money to spend hiring 20 employees each time, they look for the best most qualified people so any experience you have is a plus. Military service looks good on applications.

Hey don't sweat it. You got further then the majority of the country does. And yes the DEP should help you prepare. Talk to your recruiter and see if they have PT days, or days to kick knowledge around i know the Marines meet at least one weekend a month in the DEP to get their recruits ready PT and knowledge wise. Work out on your own. Running, jogging, pushups, pullups, crunches....just do something so you don't go in as a total fat body. Like it has been said. Its probably one of the worst times of your career, but at the same time its probably one of the most memorable and useful parts of your career. You know you've gained the discipline when they can unintentionally spit in your face and you not even flinch or wipe it off hehe. [hide=Motivating trash you understand? ;)] [/hide] Bootcamp/Basic is all just a big mind*edit* game. Theres times they try and make you laugh and crack so they can jump all over you. I highly recommend that movie for anyone going USMC. Ears Open Eyeballs Click. Its basically a documentary inside USMC bootcamp and you can get a general idea of what goes on. Its not EVERYTHING, but a good idea of what its like. All the parts are on youtube, also comes in DVD form.

Not sure i understand the question. Could possibly be on reserve status? That allows them to go to school while in the military. BTW, in a lot of cases the Military will foot the bill fully for Lasik eye surgery. As for the authority yes sometimes its tough, and sometimes its total BS and you know its BS. I think the authority problem mainly comes through Bootcamp/Basic Training. You gotta suck it up and just let them chew you out. Its really not that bad. You learn not to mess up and you learn how to do things efficiently. You won't get the yelling if you are doing your job plain and simple. For all those with "problems with authority", i guarantee you a couple of hours with a Marine Corps Drill Instructor and you will realize you will have no problems with authority. He will straighten you out quick. I invite anyone to spend a night on Parris Island. :) I've seen a Sgt punch a PFC in the stomach because he wasn't standing at parade rest while speaking to him. Needless to say that PFC was always at Parade Rest while talking to Sgt from then on out. I have one of my drill instructors on myspace lol, he's a year older then me and seeing him still sends shivers down my spine. Anyone going Navy Officer will get to meet a USMC DI. ;) It all really isn't that bad. Its just a routine you gotta get into. After a while you don't hear the yelling you know what you have to do. Alright. I'm planning to go into a college nearby for a robotics degree, and I want to know how valuable I'd be after that. I'm wanting to keep a hold on most of my general ideas for until after I know how to actually get it operable, but I don't see much harm in telling you that my main focus is likely to be ground-based combat units, with some possible flight capability. Those are a lot more resilient, and are better for general use (can't use a Predator in an urbanized area very well). It's a good thing to hear that the branches would foot Lasik surgery. I got 20-70 in my left eye, around 20-1200 in my right. As you can see, I'm in serious need of some eye readjustment. I'm still trying to figure out why I'm so accurate with firearms despite that, though. :? Basic's supposed to be rough. I've heard from more than a few recruiters that the hardest part of their military career was Basic. It really is not something that everyone can handle. Hopefully my time in AFJROTC will help with that if/when I sign up. The only real problems I have with authority people is when they think that just because they attached a piece of shiny metal or a colored cloth to their shirt means they can be an [wagon] all they want, without actually earning any respect. Thankfully, the majority of the upper ranks in the military isn't like that, from my knowledge. As long as that's correct, I should do fine. I'm not real sure the prior training pre military will help you that much. Maybe once you hit the fleet you can cut some of the Military's BS SOP (standard op procedures) off but other then that they really train you how they want you trained and train you with what you need to know. Everything else is for your own benefit. I know the airforce goes by manuals quite a bit especially dealing with aircraft, the Marines would rather ghetto-rig it so long as it works. So how wanted will you be? Probably not any more then another guy that could handle the job without the training. How useful will you be? Possibly a bit more so then that same guy in the fleet. The Marines are very limited in their resources from the government, every other branches have really cool toys and some really cool jobs that the Marines don't have. We just don't have the budget like they do so its hard to really tell you that your skills won't be totally useful. They might be great for some position the air force has that i don't know about. I'm just speculating on general military terms, they train you like they want you trained. Sounds like you would do good in a weapons development program, do they have those? No idea. I'm not sure how they do the whole lasik thing. I think you gotta be in already and then get it, not sure i havn't really checked into it much, just known some people to get it. A lot of the time the brass that abuse their power are the ones that come straight from OCS. Mustangs as officers can be really squared away and pretty easy going on their men. Mustang refers to a person who was prior service or prior enlisted that then got commissioned instead of going from college straight to OCS. They've been in the enlisted boots and know whats going on. Boot/Basic is the hardest part. At least i've found that. Other then a 8-12 month deployment...but even then deployments are actually pretty fun. Not a lot to do but you find stuff to do and usually have a good time with the guys over there. Not to mention you can make some pretty serious money (Military wise). If i had the choice of another deployment or going through boot again i'd probably take the deployment. Bootcamp was hell. Granted i did go through Marine Corps recruit training, the hardest of the branches but the others arn't a laughing matter. They are tough to anyone not used to the lifestyle. (J)ROTC will or should help for anyone going in. It has its differences but it gives you an idea of chain of command, drill, etc. Some basics. I went in not knowing anything. I learned fast. The biggest thing about Boot/Basic is how you adjust. Try and adjust as fast as possible to the daily routine and its just a waiting game because you've already won. Its pretty smooth after that. Its just that first hump you gotta get over when you get there. Waking up there to someone screaming "Lights lights lights, lights lights lights" and having the lights flicked on, while trying to make it on line in about 10 seconds is pretty horrid and definitely not something i did on a daily basis before recruit training. Sorry for all the long posts, i just enjoy my job. ;)

Its been a while. I came back at the end of 2006, been home since. Probably getting ready to head back out.

Not so much during wartime but usually in peacetime the MEU's for the Marines are supposed to be the must do's. Basically jumping on a float and heading around the world for an X number of months. I havn't gotten to experience one yet but i'd like to. You stop at all sorts of ports around the world. Basically like going on tour with the Navy. Maybe they will come back after we pull out of Iraq. I work with the big transport choppers Lenticular. Mostly the CH-53 and the V-22. Awesome machines. These are not my videos or me in the videos, but this is my job in the Corps. One of my jobs under my job field anyway. One heck of an experience. Check out how low that bird is. CH-53, V-22, and Ch-46, been under them all. Where else can you do something like this in the civilian world?! Thats one of the reasons i joined. Where else can i do the stuff i do. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3j0QI045 ... re=related To Deathdrow. To me, every war the US is in is a valid war. Why? Because my brothers are over there in it. Being a combat support element its perfectly valid for me to see it that way. Me/Combat support -> Grunts -> Valid reason. My valid reason is the grunts, they might have a different view of the war and might not agree but if they are over there thats my valid reason. Its my job to get them, their chow, water, supplies, gear over there where it needs to be.

I am in the Marine Corps currently. If you want money, a highly specialized skill and a fairly relaxed career or TOS (time in service), go "Chair Force". ;) The Navy and Air Force tend to really have specialized job training, then the army and the most broad branch is the Marines. Take an F16 jet for example. The Airforce has people to check the seals on the plane, someone to check the comm in the helmet, a person to check this screw or that screw. The Marine corps would just send the bird down the runway and be done with it. And of course the Army and Marines are more combat oriented then the Navy and Air Force. Its all in what you want to do as to what branch is right for you. While all can give you some great skills for the civilian world (if its not a military career), the Navy and Air Force can give you some real great skills compared to the Army or Marines. Can get out and make mega money civilian side. I've been to Iraq once, and i'm slated to go again with pre deployment training starting in May. Still waiting on word on that. I was based at Al Asad Airbase so i was in constant contact with the flyboys there. I worked part of the flight line bringing in the USMC birds. If you want an easier life, go Air Force lol. We were trying to send some detainees out and asked the airforce to take them, nope. It wasn't on their list of things to do, and it was just a little bit overweight. Ok fine, call up command got a USMC bird, got them out of there that day. As a Lt or higher in the Air Force you can call a full bird Colonel by his first name. Its a very relaxed atmosphere comparably. And their basic training from what i understand is low stress. Don't get me wrong, anyone serving in any branch is ok with me. But as you can see, the Air Force side is definitely not my thing. It may be just what you are looking for. You are doing almost the same thing i did. I went to college for a while, hated it and joined the Marines. Decided i wanted my degree and went back to school on the military's bill. Got a Criminal Justice degree to add to my resume. I have no intentions of going Officer though. Congrats on DEPing in. MEPS is a pain lol. BTW, be careful with the bonuses. First off be sure to ask about them, if you don't ask the recruiter won't give it to you for those interested. And don't be afraid to walk out of the office and tell them to call you when they can get you some money, it works and they will call you i promise. Also be careful. What they don't tell you is if you have an unsat year that year (failing fitness tests, going UA, bad behavior, etc) they can take all that back. My buddy in the Marines got 10k, so its there for all branches, you just gotta get it. Signing up at certain times can help too. The fiscal year i think ends/begins in Oct or November each year, so signing up right as a new fiscal year begins opens up all the bonuses and job fields.

Naive? You call me actually participating in the acts as something that doesn't exsit?! Sure ok. Listen to the media. I can't change my views if they are the truth. Maybe you should reconsider what you take in from the media.

Wow what an ignorant, STUPID comment. Judging by his equipment, he's regular Army. Possibly an MP. (Which video are you talking about? 1st?) Every Marine is an MP over there....of sorts. You can't tell he is an MP by these videos. The first video it looks like he is wearing desert MARPAT, which would make him a Marine. Outside the wire, he would be wearing more gear then that. Thats the very minimum. The Army wears [developmentally delayed] grey camo that blends in to nothing. Concerning the water video. Its a bit disturbing, the others are hardly disturbing, if they disturb you, you are a weak minded left winger pansy. What concerns me the most on the water video is when asked if he was getting this, the cameraman replies "I'm getting it sir." or "I'm getting it sarge"...meaning it was an officer or NCO. Thats what you get with the Army i guess... Haha, Obamas in, good luck with the rest of your life and all that Whats that supposed to mean? He hasn't said anything about pulling out of Afghanistan anyway so we'll still be there. I again ask, whats that supposed to mean? I don't plan on making the military a career btw...so, you fail?

Yes, everyone not on the right wing is a weak, wishy washy, unpatriotic, communist, terrorist sympathising liberal scumbag :roll: . Considering i'm from possibly the most right winged state in the Union....yes they are.

Oh and btw... Its possible to get it. The Russians always have it. The Russian pilots fly flat out smashed. They were always trying to sell us liquor.

Y'all are way to serious. Lighten up seriously. How about you get dragged halfway across the world for 8-16 months at a time without seeing or talking to anyone you know except the guys around you and see how you do. Whether you agree with the war or not, thats tough, i've done it. You gotta have fun, otherwise it will just eat you and you'll never be able to make it through. Wow what an ignorant, STUPID comment.

Yes. Let's just let the Hamas men peacefully walk out. Exactly. The same thing is going on in Afghanistan. Same thing happened in Vietnam. Who is who? Do they wear name tags that tells you who they are and who they support? No they don't. They could easily be a poor, homeless, helpless civilian from Gaza to get across the border, only to come back later and try and blow someone up as the true Hamas soldier they are. Its a catch 22 situation. You'd love nothing more then to help the civilians out, but can't because you never know who is working for who. With a little more time and effort with checkpoints and border crossings you could control it to a point but you can never erase the fact that that could be a Hamas soldier you just let cross over. The whole situation is almost a no win thing. You want to help the "good guys", which i term being US Allies and a non terroristic organization like Hamas, but at the same time you have these civilians of the "bad guys" caught in the cross fire. With that being said do i think targeting hospitals and such is a good thing? No by no means. Thats terrible. In a shock an awe type of invasion like the US commonly uses stuff like this happens. Though not directly they do suffer damage. But in a slower ground operation such as Israel is putting on, they could do something about this. They could provide aide. To me the invading military has a diplomatic responsibility to care for those injured though not involved. And even to those involved to a certain degree. Its a human and moral responsibility. This is part of the reason i feel that talking won't do ANYTHING. Look at these people. There is no stopping them, both sides are like a crazed pit bull with nothing else on its mind other then the enemy. Talking doesn't help these people. Sad to say but maybe we should get all the civilians out and let them shoot it out. It'd be nice to think that everyone out there is like the US or UK, and doesn't specifically target civilians when they become involved in a conflict but that is not the case, contrary to what people might think. This is a secondary concern for a lot of military's out there.

To bring up a quote from page 1...because thats all i care to read... I seriously doubt the US will get involved in any major way. Talks if nothing else like usual. But if that happened it'd be like Desert Storm all over again. US + Israel is a FAR superior force to anything Palestine or Hamas can bring to the table. Two of the most elite military's in the world, it'd be a turkey shoot just like Desert Storm, one major invasion....6months to a year and its over. If not less. All Hamas is, is a terrorist organization with a Palestinian political front. I think the move by Israel is fully justified. They have already stated the only mission of the invasion is to stop the rockets. While they might have thoughts of totally owning Palestine in the back of their heads, i doubt they will act upon it. This has been going on for decades, i see it going on for more decades to come.

Endless....walls....of....quotes...Makes me want to use a gun on myself.
