You can use a plastic shield boss, you just need to cover it with foam and cloth/plastidip

Only one volunteered to pick up a broom and clean up after himself.

This would be my number one test. Not to mention clean up after the instructor. But that may be too many years taining Sailors. I wish I had the time to become an apprentice. 4 more years to retirement.

I was able to get a shody gorget. Honestly I haven't even bothered to pad it. It took 4 months longer and the threat of lawyers. You might be able to get ahold of him here: https://www.facebook.com/#!/SchoolofChivalry

But this guy is a super secret ninja/seal/ranger if that's not classified, I don't know what is!

At 26? Well if he enlisted at 17, went to embry riddle while serving as a cook to obtain a degree. Then applied for OCS and was accepted into NSW.... It is theoretically possible. But why would he go SEAL and not MARSOC? I think the bottom line is the SGT unfortunately shares the same name as some ...

Yes and no. There is CENTCOM and some Joint Force type stuff, but I'm referencing his study at embry riddle university stuff. Also, I don't think many enlisted Marines that become Navy SPECOPS officers. Its not impossible, but highly unlikely.

Randy Bobbyson

I don't think the SGT is this guy. The video says he's from TN and the tards FB page says Florida. Combine that with it being unlikely the Marines would promote someone who's head is that far in the clouds.

I would hate to steal that tear drop fom someone, but where are you in caid? I'm in san diego and would love to take a look.

You'd probably want to felt it some first, but yes. Alpaca is good as batting. Usually the second/thirds are used since they are more course.

Randy Bobbyson

My inlaws are trying to bulk sell raw, unclean/treated alpaca fiber collected from our pacas over the last few years. Great for spinners, weavers, etc. $30/bag of 1st cut(blanket), and it's usually about 4-5lbs per bag, raw. If you buy more than 3 bags, we'll lower the price to $25/bag.We also have ...

Not for nothing, but if your doing a DITY move, you can apply to have an advance on the funds (to pay for the uhaul) as well as apply for an advance on dislocation allowance for you (and family if they are moving). This should more than cover the cost of the uhaul and gas. Hope the sell goes well.

A revamp of the page would be awesome, I hate trying to find anything on the site.

Randy Bobbyson

The problem with being up to code or not, is that code changes. Most likely the house was 16g instead of 12 or 14. I feel bad for the landlord who is going to have to replace all the wire.

This is the first and only place on the web where I have seen dibs being used. You either have the money or you don't. While I was building my kit, I missed out on a lot of good armor deals because someone called dibs pending wife's approval or some other BS only to come back later and remove dibs w...

I use MMA gloves for foam fighting and other types of combat. IF you could switch the padding on those gloves to a 2lb dense MC or something that will absorb more impact, I guarantee you will find lots of customers in foam fighting. Were all looking to get away from the mma gloves to something that ...

Thank you for the insight. We too have many role-playing focused groups. I really enjoyed the videos!

There is, and for that price im sure you would find a few people willing to pay for shipping. If you go forward I would look into these forums:

Im no pro with stainless, but wouldn't you get similar results with mild? I know I did when prepping the ship for painting.

Randy Bobbyson
