I don't know, dude. I'd probably leave my wife for a Middle Eastern or Indian girl with a British accent.

Depends on the department. Very few have specific age cutoffs - the NYPD is the only one I can think of off the top of my head. Seattle PD, for one, regularly hires people in their late 30s and 40s.

I JUST took a helicopter safety class this weekend for search and rescue, and this was the subject of several PowerPoint slides, specifically about securing your gear. We watched a video of a helo rescue off a listing ship where a gear bag got sucked into the tail rotor and made the helo go down. Sure, running into…

He's the dude that tells your platoon sergeant that your team is just sitting in your room and yes, you're available for that area beautification detail.

I was wondering if they were going to have to shoot Bill Murray when they got to his house

I don't think the military has the mines you're thinking about anymore. I was in the US army infantry, and all we had along those lines were claymore mines, which are command detonated by a wire connection. They'd be really effective against zombies, but you need someone to pull the trigger, so to speak.

Yeah, those rotors can get seriously fucked up if they get struck with something. Buddy fucker probably would have grounded the helo IRL.

I think he has antisocial personality disorder. He's going to go Governor on people, pirate style. They can call him the admiral or something.

I thought there were going to be hundreds of bodies floating in the ocean, calling back to Daniel's story about the disappeared men. I was looking very closely at that kelp.

I didn't think Nick was talking about being like the walkers. I'm pretty sure he was talking about everyone feeling like they're on the edge of surviving, living day to day. I didn't mind the speech. He seemed relieved, like he's finally arrived home.

pedantic former army radio rat answer: it's probably got decent crypto, likely a frequency hop, so you probably couldn't listen in. Womp Womp.

As a former army radio rat, I will tell you: neither. Big, clunky, heavy, rectangular batteries. They suck to carry.

That's why I kept my basic soldiering skills manual after I got out of the army. Tons of useful shit that you're going to forget how to do if you're not practicing. Buy a ranger handbook and you're kind of set for outdoorsman manuals.

Good news, everyone! It was just that stupid old library!

On the bright side, my six month old daughter seems to enjoy football. That's good!

I think I left for about 15 minutes near the end and had a "wait, what?" moment when I got back. And then I got a good chuckle when Eli was talking about how they had discussed as a team that they needed to work on winning the fourth quarter, and that they did that.

It's an entirely different kind of book.

Man, I hated that thing. Don't judge you for liking it, though; I was in the Army and had lots of buddies in Ranger regiment and Special Forces. I ranted for about half an hour after my wife and I watched it, especially the fact that Rangers and SF are not the same thing. And the fact that if you had even read the…

Or, shudder, Josh Gad

My platoon leader on my first deployment was a prior service SF guy. I think he was 33. Old LTs seemed to be getting more common when I got out. And this guy has a combat patch. Not impossible that he's prior service enlisted, though I'm not sure I'd give the show that much credit.
