Any marine pilots lurking?
Would enlisting after getting my degree and then doing the enlisted commissioning program give me a better or equal opportunity to become a pilot compared to OCS?

Why can't foreigners join US armed forces and earn citizenship through service?
In France you have that option. Why not in America?
>>28520143
Because we already have enough felons in our military.
I think they can, but they have to be legal aliens, not people brought in for that purpose.
i'm serbian ask me anything

How much for some head?

Also jet aircraft, helicopters (not sure if these were used but I know they were around), panzerschrek
Why does these two aircrafts use different nozzles anons?
F-35 is an aircraft that is around one and a half decade younger than Raptor but it still uses conventional nozzles. So my question is, why?
1- Did they realize that trust lost with RCS reducing design was not worth the reduction if there was any trust lost
2- Did it cost too much for a ''light weight multirole aircraft''
3- Was stability an issue with that design in one engine configuration
4- Or did they had to design a new nozzle because F-22 had trust vectoring...

Basically number 4.
Also the word you are looking for is "thrust" rather than "trust".
>>28519425
It was a design tradeoff to reduce cost. The F-35 isn't designed to be a Mach 2.0+ fighter like the Raptor so it only has one engine with no thrust vectoring. The idea is that the F-35 is mechanically simpler and thus cheaper to maintain than the Raptor.
Federal Courts have officially ruled that the 1st Amendment covers wearing military awards you haven't earned and lying about service

This apparently also extends to lying about your military service on the stand during witness testimony in a criminal case

Time to update my stack then. The 8 I earned just ain't enough.
Isn't it technical identity theft, kind of like pretending to be a doctor?
If the prosecutor introduced it into evidence it wasn't to call him a war hero
>tfw one of the reasons you own a gun is for a painless and easy way of self-termination when needed
Anybody else feel the same way?
>>28518490
I wouldn't call death by self-inflicted gunshot painless; so no.
>>28518490
same here op. just waiting for my mom to die then im out
>>28518490
If I wanted to kill myself, which I never would, then I wouldn't shoot myself and I certainly wouldn't do it without making it as big of a statement as i could. It would be on the news. I'd die doing something so crazy only a person with a death wish would do. It'd be such a waste otherwise.
have guns peaked?
Combat dildos.
caseless ammo
rockets
railguns
lasers

Are you a man amongst men? Do you own guns and are you legally able to do so? If so come join us at kik #innawoods post your kik name in this chat and you will be invited in.

Why would someone do this
>>28515702
Because I hate myself.
pic related All the mags for both P238 and P938 that I saw are either 6 or 7 rounds. Nice guns, but it sucks to keep reloading at the range. Are there higher capacity mags for these pistols?
>>28515330
Maybe you could make one and be the first to sell it.
>>28515330
Do you actually enjoy shooting those kinds of guns? Just curious because I'm looking at one for cc
>>28519525
Not OP but the P238 shoots like a dream.
>Saudi Arabia has turned down a US Navy offer to build four frigates based on the Lockheed Martin littoral combat ship (LCS) design
>Reportedly, the Saudis balked at the price tag for the MMSC package – thought to be more than $3 billion but less than $4 billion – and were unhappy with the time it would take to complete detail design of the ships, carry out systems integration, build the vessels, deliver them and install infrastructure improvements in the kingdom.

well...i don't blame the arabs. Shit is expensive as fuck.
>The US wants nearly 4 billion for 4 retarded corvettes
EPIC
>>28512736
This is just a god damned convertte that costs a billion piece.... Why the fuck would anyone pay that much for a fucking convertte that much? And I believe Saudis are more interested in Turkshit arms now as they need them to have a regional/muslim ally that can push Iran around if things come to that rather than ''evil, infidel America''
I mean, it has a great range, stability and speed but for fucks sakes... 1 billion a piece.
Are there secret space stations, comparable to the ISS? Would it be possible to hide an elaborate program like that?
Is there such a thing as a clandestine rocket launch?
Are militaries planning for space warfare over asteroids or the moon?
Thread is open to anything related to weapons and warfare as practiced in space currently and near future
Too expensive, the ISS is $100 billion dollars. Better to spend a billion a piece on small fancy spy satellites.
>Is there such a thing as a clandestine rocket launch?
Not really, it's hard to hide a giant flaming tube flying through the sky.
>>28511676
I have wondered this as well, their a great deal of people who leak info all the time.

>Are there secret space stations, comparable to the ISS? Would it be possible to hide an elaborate program like that?
No

No

No
Didn't see one in the catalog so let's have one. Questions that don't deserve their own thread thread.
When I'm buying a gun online, like through Atlantic Firearms, do I buy it as myself and have it sent to the FFL of my choosing, or do I have the purchase done by the FFL of my choice?
>>28510117
Buy it as yourself, ship it to the FFL.
>>28510117
The couple times I've done it I bought it myself and had it shipped to the FFL.
>>28510165
>>28510170
Do I need to talk to the guy at the FFL location beforehand?
So, I just got my test results in the mail for NYPD and I did pretty damned well, will probably be getting called in for the interview and such within a few months. I'm pretty stoked.
Can we discuss all things LEO?
Also: NYPD Officers get to choose from 3 sidearms to carry on duty, and several to carry off duty. The choices are
On Duty:
Sig Sauer P226 DAO
Glock 19
Smith & Wesson 5946
Off Duty:
Glock 26
Smith & Wesson 3914 DAO
Smith & Wesson Model 640 in .38
Sig Sauer P239
Beretta 8000D Mini Cougar

For mags and ammo commonality the only factually correct answer is G19 and G26. 12lb trigger is ridiculous, though.
Have fun enforcing lots of BS laws though. Just remember "I was just following orders" didn't work for the Nazis, and it won't work for you after The Happening.
American LEO in general are shit-tier. Discuss.
>>28509589
Can we get an elaboration on that, or is this just "They have guns, Europeons don't, Europeons are better" thing? Cities like NYC, Jersey City, Newark Boston and others have pretty good police, and especially good SWAT/ESU/SOG teams.
