    P.S. I started a thread entitled "New Daily Drive" in the "General Discussion" section where I posted pics of my '15 Dodge Challenger R/T Plus and '10 Dodge Ram w/ DAV plates. For those that do not know DAV stands for Disabled American Veteran.

    P.S.S. Here's a link to my photobucket account that's over 10 years old. It contains over 1,000 pics and videos and in numerous pics you can see my Ram w/ DAV plates in the background and last time j checked you had to provide proof to DMV to get DAV. I had to get a certified letter from the VA before I was issued DAV plates.

    Dude no one's freaking out at your vet status, you just don't have Beretta 93R Sniper plates on your truck.

    Go back and read SHIVAN's post. He is accusing me of being a fake and a poser. Also made a personal attack on my character as a Veteran.

    I've been there, done that and got the scars and a big ol' VA check too.

    Thanks guys for the GIF farming. It's nice to see how a thread that seemingly goes off the rails can still provide valuable little gems...

    I used to read the Executioner when I was like 12. Seemed cool then, but I'm pretty sure he's a senior citizen by now.....he's probably reconsidering that 93R, jus sayin'.

    I've been wanting to get into 9mm revolvers lately. One of those convertible Ruger New Model Blackhawks that can accommodate .357 Magnum, .38 Special, and 9mm might prove to be advantageous after TEOTWAWKI.

    Vietnam era LRRP load out:
    XM117, BAR belt holding eighteen 20rd mags, M18 Claymore, V40 mini grenades, M67 Frags, smoke grenades, small ruck, 1 & 2 quart canteens, rations, pen flares and launcher, secure comms, C-4 w/ Det. cord and blasting caps, strobe light, signaling mirror, knife, 1911 Pistol, compass, watch, whistle, and extras.

    Everything you need to bad things to bad people and come back home.

    I had heard before that the BAR belt was a much sought after and highly coveted piece of kit with SOF personnel in Southeast Asia as they would hold 20rd M16 mags without any modification to the pouches.

    Coulda' sworn it was a 1911 COLT that I carried as topside watch on my nuke sub in the early 80's.
    Never realized the G18 was even around back then.

    You people are either not reading the whole thread or are stupid.

    He's obviously making fun of Stengun who seems to think he is a special snowflake because he served in the Air Force and carried a weapon that is virtually unseen outside of collections.

    Oh yeah well I carried a Mac-10 in a shoulder holster while working vice in south Florida during the 80s. Also used it when I switched sides and became a pilot for some people south of the Canal Zone if you know what I mean.
