      I was USAF during that period. Spent a little over six months at Lackland for basic, a couple of months in hold status, actually processing incoming basic trainees, then OTS. I remember some of the old times talking about and shaking thier heads about some of the people coming in and out of...

      Air Force Social Experiment Excludes White Males.

      Back when I was between basic and OCS in the USAF, about a two month period, there were two barracks buildings that housed gays awaiting discharge/seperation. This was early 1969.

      Getting older is for the birds…

      I'll be 77 in 12 more days and in pretty good shape. Had something hit the tip of my left thumb a few months back. Dr said just let it heal putting pins in and surgery would probably not improve things much. I do have limited movement, but attribute that to some arthritis that was developing...

      Stun Gun Recommendations (For Petite Woman)?

      I would think the limited number of shots(shocks) would be a disadvantaage. I prefer for my wife to have her little S&W J frame .38, five shots no need to worry about undercharged batteries either.

      Corporatism in schools

      I graaduate HS in West Monroe back in 1963. The cafeteria was great, and the yeast rolls were to die for. Wish I could find some place now that made them like that. I think lunch was something line 14-16 cents per day in those days.

      Do you have " enough " stuff ?

      Enough, yes, plus more powder, primers, bullets than I will probably ever use, plus about 300 pounds of lead alloy, wheelweights cleaned and poured into igots, and about 90 pounds of pure linotype. At 77 years old I will never use it all, my son will inherit, and probably sell a lot of it. I...

      New to Reloading but having some problems

      Several years back when I started with the 6.5Grendel I was having problems also. Most often the rifle would not go into battery, or if it did the case would stick in the chamber. I was also using Redding dies. My final solution was to take the case holder and honed the top surface off a...

      If Glocks were never invented.

      What's a .38 Superb. I do like my 1911 in 10mm auto, and also like the Browning HP.

      .350 legend for Louisiana deer?

      Agree ammo is not that readily available any longer, but it is out there. I have my fathers old Marlin 336SC in 35 Rem he bought back about 1952, and I purchased a good quantity of brass so no problem for me. Just doing a google search comparing the two, everything shows the 35Rem with about...
