Yeah, I'm a young pup. So don't be makin' fun. First one is of me and my assigned weapon while at a undisclosed location in the mountains of one of the middle-east countries. The second is from on top of a really tall mountain that we climbed without ropes. But thankfully we weren't wearing IBA either.

The solid soft lead bullet is undoubtably the best and most satisfactory expanding bullet that has ever been designed. It invariably mushrooms perfectly, and never breaks up. With the metal base that is essential for velocities of 2000 f.s. and upwards to protect the naked base, these metal-based soft lead bullets are splendid.

Forget everything you know about loading jacketed bullets. This is a whole new ball game!
Here's a pic of me with my best friend when we went to the Zippo factory last month:
I'm the one on the left using my new Zippo to lite a fresh cigar.
JDGabbard, actually that was the only rotation that we did in a 'conventional' role. If I remember correctly we provided aviation support for the 45 Inf Bde. All other rotations, and there were many at both Chaffee and Polk, were all SO.

I'll be a nice to you as you'll let me be, or as mean as you make me be.
Polite society started dying the day it was no longer necessary for rude men to physically defend themselves from the consquences of their actions or words.

Full frontal view would be more than most could take without REALLY dark glasses....

"The .30-06 is never a mistake." Townsend Whelen
"THESE are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands by it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph."
