Re: Heh
That's hilarious!
Of course, the Canadian Armed Forces has had its moments too... although this is more sad than amusing. Back in the bad old days of the 1990s when their budgets were cut to the bone and beyond, the infantry had to severely ration ammunition for training... even the blanks were used only rarely. On at least one exercise, and I have friends in the military who have confirmed this, they were reduced to shouting "bang" because they didn't have any supplies left.
On the other hand, they always looked forward to joint training with US forces, as they would be allowed to cut loose. No lack of ammunition there.

Ok, fine. But I think that kham is actually (subversively of course) on our side.

Re: Heh
I wasn't around til May of 2011. I was hearing a few things about Windham guys being upset, and I would be too. When the guys here unpacked some fixtures, we questioned the urine content. ( a quote from Fight Club) One employee with a special needs child was pretty much given a green light for employment in Ilion, just go thru the motion along side everyone else. Failed the urinalysis and said it was a brownie at his going away party. Hmm, not too sure.
We stuck by a warranty claim on a Carbon 15 that blew up. It was made by Lake Havasu BFI. The shooter was the second owner but the only one that shot it as the father bought it. I don't trust the plastic ones but some love em.
