Ten years in a combat zone and one fire fight? Color me unimpressed.

Name one.

I say we make CFTs indistinguishable form NJPs.
Activity 1: Burn wagbags for thirty days without any protective layers.
Activity 2: Fill 10,000 sandbags in full PPE.
Activity 3: Permanent S4 working party.

I know brother or sister, I was there. My point is that the 20 for max points need to be taken down, because 20 pull ups does not increase survivability over 10. Instead, replace those 50 points with either a rope climb or a hump (but don't tell anyone its my idea).

I hate pull ups and think that they should have been replaced with a rope climb. However, I can attest that at least twice in the last 3 years Marine lives have depended on a Marine being able to pull him self over a wall without the use of his legs.

20 is too many, but three is too few.

Well, as is the tradition in our shared profession, I predict this will become a digtial dick measuring contest and a list of anecdotes. However, my experience has been that 0317s are more SCOUT than sniper. We mostly use them to look at things and call in close air support or pissed off riflemen. Force Recon is…

The Delayed Entry Program can last for up to a year. If someone can't get up to 3 pull-ups in 65 weeks, than there is probably an issue other than lack of time,

Well, firstly, lets not pretend like IDF snipers are world renowned. Anyone who has ever served in a MNF knows that for everything amazing the IDF has, its Urban Sniper Program is subpar. Don't take my word for it, check Jane's Intelligence Review.

The all have the exact same amount of time to learn, 13 weeks.

You can't possibly be a grunt if you think that scout-snipers are small. This isn't the Red Army.

The problem is the opposite. Boot camps doesn't get you in the best shape of your life, but rather the opposite. I lost over 60 pounds in boot camp from my already emaciated frame. The point of boot camp physical tests is to prove to the Marine Corps, and yourself, what you can do when you've got nothing left.

I am…

To be eligible for parole/early release, you have to have a sentence of MORE than a year. Therefore, someone with a year long sentence is ineligible for parole and serves the whole year. Someone who is sentenced to a year-and-a-day can be released in as little as three months, with good behavior.

I don't think this…

Useful Tips from A Former LEO:

Are you sure about this? I don't practice law, but as far as I remember, Shopkeeper's Privilege allows some intrusion on personal property and body, even absent video proof.

However. Freedom of speech =/+ the First Amendment. In fact FOS > 1A. We, as ethical, freedom-loving people have a moral obligation to allow everyones voice to be heard, even if there is no constitutional protection for it (although the government does protect unpopular speech through various laws and torts).

Just…

This is not correct. I am sorry to be so blunt, but as a psuedo-tax professional I have to tell you that 99% of the time, married filing seperately is the worst possible way to file. All your deduction limits and tax brackets remain at the single=payer level.

This is the best article on Jezebel.

Drugs. Assuming there's no transitive verb.

All states have the right to pursue action without victim's assistance. The case is between the defendant and the state (hence U.S. v. John Smith). Legally, the government (or is some states, "The People") are the victim/plaintiff in all criminal actions.

Can you tell me more about your trip to Texas. It seems like you managed to see every corner of that dreadful town.

Also, please tell me "preview of global-warming hell" doesn't mean "hot, " because that is dumber than thinking, apparently, that a trip to "the Town" in Texas, coupled with fat shaming, is a good way…
