What can disqualify me from getting a combat engineer mos in the army?
Assuming you qualify for general enlistment, here are the things that can keep you out of engineers:

The US Senate defeated a Republican bid to expand gun ownership rights by letting people carry concealed weapons across state lines. Does pro gun trump state's rights in your mind? See LINK:

Once the order "Fix Bayonets!" comes down, that's all there is to it.

It was designed in Sweden as a submachine gun and manufactured in the US as a semi-automatic pistol.

If you intend to marry, do it before you go off to Basic. This is so she will be your military dependent and be entitled to the full range of services and benefits available to her. You also start drawing pay for housing allowance, separate rations, etc.

Use the #4Mk.II as a deer rifle. The .303 Brit is more than enough for medium game.
Answer to:
What is a lee enfield #4 mk2 worth in good condition? not a parker hale version.
Nothing. Nada. Zip.
Tell you what...send it to me and I'll dispose of it for you.
Actually, a #4Mk.II is worth about $150-$250 in good condition since it was produced in smaller numbers than the Mk.I.
If you have one of the rarer Irish Contract #4Mk.II rifles (only 50,000 made. Serial numbers PF309348 to PF359347) it can start at $500 and go up from there.

Infantry is one of the fields where you do not contract for a specific job.
You will be sent to an OSUT (One Station Unit Training) post where you will spend the whole 14 weeks. 11B and 11C OSUT is Fort Benning, Georgia. You won't know where you're going until you finish the Basic training portion.
Both 11B and 11C training is 8 weeks and 1 day long.

Use of anti-depressants is not a bar to enlistment in and of itself as they have proven to be a useful part of mental health therapy.

Answer to:
Does a magnum cartridge cause larger damage or just have more velocity to go clean through?
Magnum rounds have more energy and velocity that standard rounds in the same bullet diameter. Whether they cause more damage or whether it passes through the target body depends on the type of bullet used. A FMJ magnum round could cause less physical trauma than a good hollowpoint loaded in a standard-pressure cartridge.
FMJ rounds do not transfer as much of the bullet's energy into...

Answer to:
Ok, we all know muzzle energy is 1/2MV^2 but how much energy is there in the bullet spin? Consider .50BMG 650 grain at 2750 FPS with 1-15 twist.
Using KE=.5MV^2, the KE of the bullet is 2268.75 ft-lbs.
When the rifling is 1:15, the bullet will make a full rotation for every 15" it moves forward. That makes the the bullet spin 2,200 times per second or 132,000 RPM.
Rotational energy is K = 1/2*I*w^2, where I is the moment of inertia and w is the angular velocity. w^2 in this case is (2*3.14*2200)^2=13816^2=190,881,856...

How much does phone sex pay? Is it worth the money compared to exotic dance? Thanks!!!
Phone sex almost never pays as much as stripping but this is assuming that the girl in question can do both equally well.
Stripping pay is based on how many lap dances you can sell during your shift minus the tip-out paid to the club. If you are hot and/or very personable, you could easily make $1000 per night after tip-out.
Phone sex is either hourly or per-call pay. In the former...

Your aviation-related rating may transfer into an Army MOS, but you'd have to check with DA. You'd likely have to go to AIT to get reclas into a proper MOS.

Answer to:
So I have a 1917 Us mess kit, the fork knife and spoon all have minimal if not no corrosion or rust. The knife is a American cutlery co. knife from 1917. They all have a series of numbers and letters, Co. C. 320. 137. what do they mean?And total cost comb
I've spotted a R.I.A WW1 mess kit fork and knife in somewhat worse condition for sale for $20, so I'd say your set would be worth about $30-$35 to a WW1 collector.
Co. C means Company C, which is the second-smallest unit level in the US Army. 320 may be a reference to the 320th Infantry Regiment, which was part of the 79th Division that was formed with soldiers from Pennsylvania,...

It may be possible if you are going into the National Guard or Reserves, especially if your AIT fits comfortably within the summer. Active duty enlistees do not get to spread out training like that.
One problem with splitting training like that is that you are very likely to lose your physical conditioning in the time between, making it all the harder on you when you hit Phase 4 in AIT.

When it comes to ammo, all that goes on is juggling mass, case length, and powder used.
The .270 is descended from the venerable .30-06 Springfield cartridge and comes in a variety of bullet weights for specific game animals. The .270 brass is a bit longer than the .30-06 but the bullet is a bit smaller. This gives the bullet some blazingly high velocity numbers, especially in the...

Democratic gubernatorial candidate Terry McAuliffe raised $4.2 million in the first quarter of the year, with 82 percent of that cash coming from out-of-state donors. Should that worry Virginia voters? See LINK:
It should scare the hell out of them. A state election is a matter for the residents of that state and *only* residents of that state should be allowed to contribute to in-state campaigns. Otherwise, you have people who have no vested interest in the state dictating terms to candidates and you can bet that these outsiders do not have your state's best interests at heart.

If the pursuing party has range weapons, hit the woods. The problem here is that you would need to dismount (reduce speed to walking) and pick your way through the underbrush (speed/2) and into the trees as the canopy would block what little moonlight could come in (speed/2 for a total movement of base/4). The pursuers would get there in about 5 rounds (assuming cantering until they see you...

My Fiance is in the marines and is currently doing his MOS school as aviation tech, electronics and maintanance. They don't really tell him much so I was wondering if anyone had a rough estimate on how long it will be?
If he's at "A" School, the cadre should have a schedule showing the anticipated graduation date. Back when I was going through Army AIT, *everyone* knew their graduation date. I find it very, very hard to believe that he does not already know. Hard to believe to the point of being very suspicious.

Your best bet would be to look for a NRA-certified firearms instructor. $40-$50 is about right for the average introduction class. Covers firearm safety, range safety, and basic marksmanship and usually includes use of a pistol/rifle and ammo. A more in-depth class costs around $100 but you get to shoot a broader range of calibers (.22 up to .45).

You can try anything you want, the question here is how committed are your parents to keeping you in the house.
At 17, you are not an adult in the eyes of the law. Your parents are legally on the hook for you until you graduate high school (or until you turn 18 and have pulled yourself out of school). This means that they can be held responsible should something happen to you even though...

If the child is 18 and has graduated high school, you are no longer legally obligated to provide for their needs. You are free to tell him to vacate. If he refuses to vacate, you may contact law enforcement to assist you (at the very least issue a trespassing citation).

(texas) my son was in a traffic accident when he was 16 under the custodial care of his mother who registered and insured the vehicle.( Question )my son recently turned 18 and now they are trying to sue him for damages can they do this
They can try. They can always try and they can shop courts until they find a judge who will give them a tumble.
I think the key point here is whether there is a statute of limitatons for damages for this type of situation. On a side note, they should not be suing your boy at this point. He was a minor at the time of the accident and could not be sued for his action as he is not an adult...

Traffic laws are generally not applicable on private property. For example, you can drive an un-inspected, unregistered truck around your property all you want to and not be cited for missing the tags and sticker since you are not operating in the public right of way.

Son has scars from cutting and wants to know if he would pass army physical? would they consider it a psychological problem or not since it was several years ago?
Cutting is generally a sign of underlying mental issues. If your boy has been treated for his condition, is no longer on any medications, and has a note from the doc attesting to the successful completement of treatment, then it should not be too big an issue.
If the recruiter or MEPS thinks it'll be an issue, they can arrange for an independent evaluation.

It's called ROTC.
Find a college you like that offers Marine ROTC. You can take the first 2 years of ROTC without obligation to serve. This will let you see how you like the Corps before you sign on the line and swear the oath. If you don't like the Corps, no harm done. If you do, you go contract and proceed onwards and upwards.

Assuming normal career progression in a combat arms branch, one could make brigadier general in about 25-30 years, but you only have about a 15% chance...

Answer to:
Can employers refuse employees to wear wedding rings?
In general, an employer has the right to set the dress code for his business. Some things, like Sikh head wraps, are required by an employee's faith and cannot be banned from the workplace. If the employer says that no jewelry may be worn, then you have to take it off and that includes wedding rings.
There may be an underlying reason. Many workplaces require employees to remove...

Send one copy to him with a letter asking him to enroll his child in DEERS and send you proof of enrollment. Send a second copy to his commanding officer.

The Army does not look kindly upon soldiers who shirk their child support obligations.

However, this information must be reported to the Army by the service member or by you via his commanding...

Answer to:
I have Outstanding student loans in my name that I've taken out for my son's college education. Can I withdraw from my 401k to pay these student loans without penalty?
Check the terms of your particular 401(k), but I think that educational expenses are allowed. However, I think that means you can withdraw w/o penalty to pay expenses as they come up, not to pay loans after the fact.
Answer to:
How much can I contribute to my 401K annually? How much when I'm over 50 yrs old?
As of 2008, you can put in $15,000 annually. If you are 50+, you can put in an additional $5,000.
Answer to:
AS THE BENEFICIARY OF MY FATHERS 401 K, DO I HAVE TO USE THAT MONEY TO PAY HIS HOSPITAL BILLS?
Check with a lawyer to be sure, but I think that you are not obligated to pay the bills he left behind with the 401(k) funds he left you. If his will directed those funds go to you, then they are separate from his estate, which is what the hospital will sue to get their money.

According to the calculators I've seen, you are woefully underfunded. It sounds like you've been putting in enough to get employer matching but that's it.
Answer to:
I have a 401k plan which allows me to have dividends paid out quarterly. I want to use my dividends to pay into another retirement plan or to buy a Roth IRA. Can I do this without having to pay income tax on paid dividends?
Check with a tax professional, but I think that 401(k) dividends that are paid out to you and not automatically reinvested in the account is considered taxable income, even if you turn around and plop it into a Roth or other investment.

What is the best semi auto rifle?(consider price, if its easy to clean and if its jams very much or not)
Depends on what you want to do with it and where you live. The aforementioned AK-47 (semi-auto, if you please) cannot be used with hi-cap magazines in California, so a SKS would fit better in that part of the US.
For plinking, I'd take the Ruger 10/22 or the Marlin Model 60.
For general purpose use (medium game hunting, plinking, SHTF defense), I'd recommend the SKS.

In your opinion, what is the best brand and caliber, handgun ammunition for personal protection.
The best caliber is the biggest one you can shoot comfortably for a long period of time. If you don't like shooting it, you will not practice enough to be proficient with it. Shot placement is what decides gunfights. A .22LR in the heart beats a .45 hit to the lower leg, for example.

During training, can you wear contact lenses in the Marines/National Guard/Army/.
You weren't allowed to do so when I was last in Basic ('91). There is too much that goes on that can get crub in your eyes to allow contacts to be used. You do NOT want to wear contacts when you go through the gas mask training room. CS gas is bad enough without it settling into the permeable surface of a contact lens.

What would happen if a child loaded a lead pellet (pointed type) in an AirSoft gun & tried to shoot it? Might it dislodge & shoot? My cat was killed by a lead pellet (on our property) at the same time the nearby neighbor kids were playing with an AirSoft.
Byron is slightly wrong, as is JRW.
Airsoft guns are 6mm and can have muzzle velocities as high as 500 fps, though that top end is usually from the higher-end, more expensive rifles. The typical airsoft gun from Walmart pushes about 350 fps, which is the same as a Red Ryder BB gun.
Air rifles come in .177, .20, .22, and .25 calibers and can thump out pellets as fast as 1000 fps for the...

If he was convicted of a felony in any US state (and even in some foreign countries), Federal law states he cannot possess or purchase any firearm, except for certain relics made before the 1890s and firearms that use black powder as the propellant (muzzle loaders, etc).
Texas law does not allow felons to posess or purchase any firearm, even black powder or airguns.

Did you change the ammo you've been using? That often accounts for changes in POI.
The AR-15 family generally sets battlesight zero at 25 yards. A AR-15 set this way shoots about 1' high at 50 yards, hits at POA at 200 yards, and about 1.5' low at 300 yards.
It's possible that you used the laserbore equipment incorrectly, resulting in the situation you describe.

There are several reasons:
1 - The .25 ACP is a pretty pathetic round. You get better performance from a hypervelocity .22LR hollowpoint. Some shooters report that even the best .25 is not as reliable in ignition as the most common .22LR.

Is the bullet drop on a mosin nagant 91/30 at 1000 yards really 30 feet? If so what would the drop be on a ar-15 carbine at 1000 yards with permium .223 ammo?
MN 91/30 dropping 25'-30' at 1000 yards sounds about right from what I can find.
The last table I could find on 5.56N ballistics stopped at 800 yards and showed a 33' drop when fired from a M16-A1. Given the performance loss you get with an M4, I'd guess a drop of another 3' or so at 800.
In short, when popping targets at long range, don't use a M4.

A silencer has a series of expansion chambers that trap the gases that follow a bullet out of the barrel.

Once it clears, the gas spits out at a much slower rate, which is not enough to cause the loud BANG you expect.

What is your favorite long range rifle and why?
I'm not a long-range shooter, but I have heard nothing but good things about the Swiss K-31. It was the Swiss long arm during WW2 and is reported to be amazingly accurate. The ammo is a bit spendy, but the rifle comes in at around $250-$300 these days. Some sources I have found said that making a rifle equal to the K-31 these days would cost around $3000 or so.

I want to sight in the scope of my ar15 in my cellar how many phone books or other material should i use so the bullet doesnt go through? what is the best way to do this without laserbore sighting or going to the range?
You can only get a boresight done without going somewhere to shoot in the scope.
To boresight a scope, set up a target at the engagement range to which you want to set the scope. Remove the lower receiver and clamp the upper receiver to a firmly anchored base. I suggest using a plumb line to make sure your upper is true vertical and the scope's crosshairs are also true vertical.

Revolvers are the original point-and-click device. The rounds are not subject to the whims of a magazine. Dud rounds (a rarity, but they are out there) are no problem as you just pull the trigger again to rotate the cylinder and present a new round. Safety checks are easier as you just swing out the cylinder to see if it is loaded. Revolvers are more capable of chambering more powerful...

S&W Sigmas are one of those love/hate things. Either you love it or hate it. I love mine and do not like Glocks. Glockers I know hate the Sigma, but that's mostly due to it's heavy trigger. They can't complain about the Sigma's ergonomics, grip angle or pointability since S&W "borrowed" almost every bit of it from the Glock.

Answer to:
Could I still get in the USCG if I told a recruiter a few months ago that I have ADD? I've never been diagnosed but I said yes because I think I might have it, but I shouldn't have said yes. The army said it's fine as long as I wasn't diagnosed with it.
The Army recruiter is correct. Unless a medical professional has diagnosed you with ADD, you cannot be barred from enlistment because *you* think you have it.
Answer to:
What are your arguments against firearms?
I am pro-firearm rights but can argue for the other side. Here's a few to get the party started:
1 - Personal defense handguns are not necessary in the US due to advances in non-lethal technology. Chemical sprays and electric stun devices allow one to defend themselves in the same encounter distances (point-blank & short range) as a pistol with no chance of stray shots permanently...

During the Rodney King riots, there were thousands of firearms in play, many of which were in the possession of criminals and those with criminal intent. When the mobs came to a section of town held by determined Korean shopkeeprs, they probably outnumbered the businessmen 10+ to 1, yet the Koreans...

I've recently aquired a 1904 luger, .30 cal, all serial numbers match, serial number under #10,000 , fully functional, mint condition with original leather holster (in excellent condition). I wonder how much it's worth?
You've got an interesting bit of history. The Luger you have is offically chambered in 7.65 Parabellum (7.65mmx23mm), which is called .30 Luger in the US. The pistol was adopted as the official Swiss Army sidearm in 1900 but did not do well when Luger tried offering it to other militaries. He redesigned the pistol in 1904 to take the 9mm Parabellum cartridge and the rest is history.

Yup. If the internal parts are worn in any of several key spots, the hammer or striker can be released by tapping or hitting the firearm.

The current panic buying will drive up the cost of both permanently. 5.56 ammo has been going up steadily since the drying up of milsurp stocks and the diversion of Russian ammo production to fill military contracts for other areas of the world.

Monarch is another Russian brand of ammo. Russian ammo is typically steel-cased (meaning you can't reload it) and primed with non-corrosive primers. Sometimes, the laquer on the steel case will briefly become liquid when you fire and deposit itself on the chamber of your weapon. After 10 or so rounds, this kind of ammo has been known to become jammed in the chamber due to the laquer...

Why do you have to pay for a can of SPAM? Shouldn't that be free? That doesn't even sound good. It's scraps!!!!
TANSTAAFL!
Hormel is not a charity. It is a business and the object of business is to make as much money as possible. Spam was invented as a way to use a part of the pig that was not being used to the best effect for Hormel. Hormel is to be commended for finding a way to use as much of the pig as they can. Less waste = fewer pigs needed to make money selling pork products.

US ARMY: Why is the US Flag inverted on the uniforms of the Soldiers? The stars are in the top right hand corner instead of the usual top left side.
The US flag patch is worn on the right shoulder of the ACU. The field is on the left only when the flag is part of a static display and it is spread open. Since the soldier is always moving, the flag patch set so that the field is to the right, which is how it would be seen if the soldier was carrying the flag on a staff.

If you are certain about what you want to do, do NOT let the recruiter lead you elsewhere. He is not interested in you. You are a body to be shipped for his quota.

When I was 11, for a class project, a friend of mine brought several unloaded hunting rifles in a duffel bag into class. The kids in class ooh-ed and ahh-ed and the teacher didn't flinch when they guns came out. Would this fly today?
It would NOT fly. Bringing a firearm onto a school campus is against Federal law and may be against local or state law.
Now, as with everything, there is an exception that can be made. The school district may establish a written policy allowing firearms to be brought onto school ground for whatever reason they choose and that will supercede the Federal law (a clause in the Federal law...

What is the value on a ar-15 used with 90 round drum and 3 30 round clips
It depends on the condition of the rifle (NRA Excellent, etc), the manufacturer (Colt, Century Arms, etc), and other factors (flattop, caliber, etc).
A new 90-round drum can be had for about $130. 30-round mags can be found for $20+. So, you have almost $200 in magazines alone.
The rifle may go for as little as $600. Need more info to be sure.

Yup. You have executed a verbal contract: you put an item out for sale, declared a price, received an offer for the item, and accepted the offer. You are legally obligated to sell the item to the buyer unless you made it clear during the negotiations that there were clauses that could allow a 3rd party (your hubby) to negate the sale.

(and is it true about the hype on youtube about the aa12 being "the worlds most deadliest shotgun", cause i personally like the usas12 better.
Any hype you read is just that, hype. Don't buy into it. The idea of a full-auto shotgun has been around for a long time and you should think really hard about the reason such items have not been adopted by police or military forces around the world.
The reason is that it is, well, silly. Sure, the idea of filling the air with 00 pellets like a pint-sized anti-aircraft battery sounds...

Under the rules of engagement, US forces cannot shoot-on-sight. Can't speak to what any black ops forces are allowed to do, but that's a whole different can o' worms.

How come when a girl gains weight her boobs get bigger, but when a guy gains weight his package is the same?
Boobs have a layer of fat inside of them, making them a natural place for fat to grow when a woman gains weight. There is very almost no fat in a guy's package, so fat deposits there do not grow the way a man's boobs will grow when he gains weight.

How can someone get pregnant when they had a tubal ligation?
Tubal ligation has a published failure rate of about 0.2% to 1.0%. Studies show that lowest failure rate is generally for the first year or so with the failure rate increasing as time goes by due to the chance of the severed fallopian tube re-establishing connection with the uterus in some way.
The only 100% effective birth control procedures are removal of the testicles or the uterus.

In straight erotic movies the girl's face never looks happy. In gay erotic movies the participants look as though it's the best fun ever. Since sex is fun, what's the problem for the girl in straight porn?
In professional porn, sex is not fun. It's *work*. Sex in porn is not about sharing a heartfelt intimate moment. It's about getting the viewer (usually a guy) off. That means putting the girl in the strangest and sometimes very painful positions so the camera can catch the action.

I have an old Burgo .22 short revolver, that I got used in the late 1960's, the plastic grips were broken, does anyone know where I can purchase a set of grips for this gun?

Your best bet would be to search or post a wanted ad on the firearm auction sites, like AuctionArms.com or GunBroker.com and see what comes up.
