To be honest Doc, I don't have the income to pay dues to a dojo. And I would like to study a military developed system.

Vez, I'm on leave right now, but I have been in contact with a Security...

Ok, there are a lot of acronyms in the thread title, let me define them if folks are unfamiliar.

MCMAP = Marine Corps Martial Arts Program
MACP = Modern Army Combatives Program
USAF = United...

We decided to keep it simple right now. We have some tomato plants and plan some strawberries and try some green beans. Thanks everyone!

Oh I do!

Thank y'all for the replies! A family member heard that I was looking for a gun and mentioned my wife's Grandmother has a collection of firearms that belonged to her late husband. She showed them to...

Do any of you keep a family garden? The wife and I would like to start a garden to get started on a little self sufficiency, get the family working together outside, and maybe save a little money. ...

Went to the range last Sunday. I got to shoot a friend's Kahr Arms CM9 and a Walther 9mm, but can't remember which model. Had a great time.

I haven't made a purchase yet. I found a used Winchester 1400 at a local shop for $199. Anyone have experience or opinions on it?

Awesome!

I didn't shoot today, but I went to volunteer at a work day at a local skeet range run by the Hurlburt Field force support squadron. All nice guys at club, there are 3 skeet fields and they are...

Thanks ski-patroller. We just went to a different vet today and they actually did tests and found out the patch on her neck is a yeasty type of infection. Should be all good in a couple of weeks.

You don't have to do the entire trail, like garyg said. You just find a couple of trail entrances, hike them, then head back. Like on one trip, some friends and myself hiked from Lemon Gap in NC to...

No, from the looks of maps on the App Trail's website, it goes through the eastern part of PA.

Have a great time! I need to get my kiddos introduced to camping and hiking, they're 4 and 6 and have never been.

Look into the Appalachian Trail. I have hiked portions down in the Southeast in TN and NC.

Ha!

The wife and I are contemplating a Maverick 88 with the 28in barrel for sporting and an extra 18.5in barrel for home defense. My reasoning is after using it for clays/hunting it will need to be...

I held a Remington 1100 today at a local pawn shop. It was well worn, the stock felt lose even, but still a pretty gun. They were asking $390 for it.

Thanks everyone. I'm not quite ready to buy yet, still need to convince the wife, she wants to purchase a handgun for the home first (makes sense). But is there a site that I have missed that lists...

Sweet, that's what I was hoping for. Thanks!

I hate to bring this thread back up without any kind of update, but for those of you who have used the Water Dog book, does it require a shock collar or anything like that?

Well, I guess I could...

Oakeshott and petr, does the Water Dog book assume a starting level of training? Or does it start from the very beginning?

Chef John, after I get a better handle on the basic obedience skills I...

Thanks again for all the responses and advice. I really like the idea of the left handed 870, but I have just heard of the Mossberg Maverick 88. Its right handed but much cheaper, better for a first...

I was doing some googleing and discovered that there is a left handed version of the 870 Express. I think my mind is just about made up. Now to convince SWMBO that this is a good buy on the next...

Thanks for all the advice! Unfortunately the professional trainer is not in the stars, we just don't have that kind of budget. I may not be able to teach her to hunt, but she'll get some good...

Hey everyone, I'm not new to dogs. I had a well house trained lab/pit mix several years ago (sit, stay, leash trained, various tricks, house broken, the usual). We now have a lab mix, training time...

Thanks fellas. I am indeed a lefty, I understand from shooting M-16s, the brass discharges right into your face. I'll look into the Mossberg as well, thanks for the tip.

First I want to learn to shoot a shotgun, then eventually learn to hunt. But I also would like to be able to shoot clay targets. My family budget won't allow for multiple guns though, so I'm looking...

This is my first post on the firearms forum. I have recently developed an interest in shotguns and related sports and hunting and am researching a budget entry level shotgun.

A little background...

I'm a wet shaving minimalist for sure.

I have dipped my toe into the hat world. I have a cheap straw hat and a wool felt fedora. I've worn them some, but I'm afraid I look like some one from http://youshouldntwearthatfedora.tumblr.com or...

I call my wife of 10 years momma (started calling her that when our first little one was born), or girlie girl. I really only use her name when talking to someone about he or trying to get her...

I just finished "A Memory of Light" by Robert Jordan/Brandon Sanderson. I'm now reading "Stone of Tears" by Terry Goodkind, I'll probably get back to the James Bond series after I finish this book.

I've been listening to some big band and swing lately, but I do also listen to some jazz and alternative rock as well. I'm kinda all over the place.

Thank you everyone! We did have a great time. We got invited into the VIP before the show, we felt a little out of place but I was dressed better than many the men in attendance. The ladies were all...

Thanks everyone! Let's see some outfits from you guys this week.

It just doesn't work for me. DE shaving is great for my face, but not for my head. This is a classic YMMV situation.

I have heard the ramp used to be packed from end to end with all kinds of aircraft, these days the only aircraft on the test side ramp are F-15C/D/E, A-10, F-16, and C-130.



No, but I have...

Thanks for your suggestions everyone, we went to the symphony last night and had a great time. I got my navy suit from JCP and a white dress shirt I already owned tailored to the tune of around $39....

I have tried a DE on my noggin, but I just can't get it right. I use disposable Gillette Good News razors on my head.
