There are many water-borne missions that the Navy is simply not qualified to do. The odds are smaller than the other 4 branches, but it's happened before and there are still Coasties off Iraq doing coastal patrol and ship inspections. 2 - You can get any...

They don't realize that PERSCOM runs on the "close enough is good enough" principal. Here's how it works: Let's say you request Fort Sam Houston (San Antonio, TX). PERSCOM will actually look to...

I mean their killing off most of their original casts and they are creating garbage throwaway characters?<br /><br />Feel the power....the power of retcon! Ever since DC discovered the cash cow to be milked following the original Crisis on Infinite Earth, both they and Marvel have learned that you can kill the first team off en masse since all it takes is a hit of the reset button to bring them back.

What is the current price per pound for newsprint? Seriously though, Ariche comics do not bring any appreciable price except for the recent story arc where Archie finally picks between Betty and Veronica. Even that will fade fast.

Does pro gun trump state's rights in your mind? See LINK:<br /><br />Nope. State policy is an internal matter.

If you are going to go small for recoil's sake, Since you are addressing the mobility issue, I think you'd be better served with an adult shotty in a no-stock configuration (i.e pistol grip only).

What caused you to be DQ'd at MEPS? If it was a weight control issue, you could drop the pounds and re-apply with a wiaver granted by your recruiter. If you came up hot on a drug test, it will take a lot more.
