They want to fill a Caiman full of hurt kids during an emergency situation? I sure as hell hope they're going to practice their roll-over drills...

Ditto. I'm in the Army, so wake up time for me is generally around 5:30 a.m., but there's no way I can get to sleep before midnight at the earliest (either that or if I go to bed early, I'm restless all night). It's honestly on of the top reasons why after 11 years, I'm looking at getting out soon. I just want a…

As someone who fenced for many years (epee, mainly) but has moved over to HEMA more recently (sword and buckler, mainly from the I.33 manual) I can say that in my experience there's way less "elegance" and a lot more chaos than I ever experienced in fencing.

I am really looking forward to this project.

Yup - and on average, one U.S. veteran commits suicide every hour.

It looks like he may have found that out at around the 2:01 mark of the video...

You joke, but last winter we had a freak storm in Central Texas and this Yankee had no regrets about still having his snow chains in the trunk of his car...

I'm currently deployed over in Afghanistan where I work with a bunch of Australian Army types who have introduced us Americans to the joy that is the Tim Tam.

Man, that picture gets my brain juices flowing...

No question it's Jordan Weisman - creator of Battletech, MechWarrior, Shadowrun, Mage Knight and all the other HeroClix stuff and soooo much more.

It wasn't so much my question as one my mom asked. And not particularly science-y but still awesome.
