M-14 DMR in Afghanistan (pics)

Gotta fess up that I bent an M16A1 barrel in Germany putting together an aluminum Army cot. Good thing the armorer noticed it before I fired it again. Shortly thereafter we had our weapons replaced with the then-new M16A2 with the beefier barrel and improved sights.

Hey John, when you come aboard a carrier, there are only two place you can wind up, and one of them is REAL BAD!!!!!!

SEE WHAT I MEAN!!!!!!

Just as long as the landings equaled the takeoffs you were in good shape

This rule doesn't apply to paratroopers!

BTW Bear, why would someone want to jump out of a perfectly good airplane???????------


Arrrrggggghhhh

Someone estimated that 90% of all air crashes (non-combat) happen on takeoff or landing. We just cut the odds by half.

That triggered a long ago memory about my Dad. My Dad, a marine, during WWII ended up in the drink landing on a aircraft carrier. It's how he got his purple heart. No lasting affects.

Thanks for the M14 photos. Good seeing so many of them still in service----only made sense that Uncle Sam destroyed most of them.
