I just heard a story at lunch about a Marine stationed in Japan who married a local hooker, lol. It did not end well.
He should have read the handbook.
I’m trying see how I go about mailing a copy of that to my son as he is deployed on a ship right now….before it’s too late…lol
Make sure he doesn't buy a car with 30% interest either. I saw so many dumb asses paying damn near their entire check on a car payment.
Yeah, grew up a military brat and my Dad was always bailing out his young, not so money savvy Airmen. And I remember all the auto dealerships right outside the base gates with the “E-1 and up, automatically qualified!” signs…..
I bought my son a truck after he graduated recruit training, so that’s at least one thing he shouldn’t have to worry about.
Reminds me of my early/mid 20a.
I grew up about 40 mins from the Great Lakes Naval Base and played hockey in a bar league not far from there. One season we started without a goalie, so we were rotating in guys using the rinks goalie equipment. This dude showed up at one of our games and asked if he could play for us and we said yes. He was an officer that jut got transferred to the base and was a hell of a goalie.
He told us how when he was stationed in the Phillipines, they'd always be beating into the heads of guys who were there for the first time to not marry the first whore they came across
There is a whole block of instruction during basic of the STD's you can catch during shore leave.
Back in 2000 the DI's always said to send in the recon finger before you start humping Mary J Rottencrotch. Lol
What's everyone getting into this weekend, besides another dude like BWS?
My mom and I are going to make a solo trip out the property for my old man's "birthday" Do you still have birthday after you are dead? Guess I'll have to die to find out 🤣🤣🤣
Sooo I'm currently rounding up all the gun shit I wanna take. I need to do some general PMC, fuck around with some zeros/gather data. And swap out RMR batteries.
The RMR on the PDP finally died lol. I think I last changed it 26 months ago? Maybe longer honestly. It's been a hot min.
Need to do some scouting, and go place another salt lick, grab a truck load of apples from one of the orchards otw out there.
Gotta check and possibly move around some of the game cams, and check in with the neighbors about what the herds and patterns are looking like.
I always try and keep an eye out for Moose and what they are up to as it gets closer to the season, incase I finally get thet fucking lottery tag. Been waiting 20 fucking years for a moose tag.
I think the average is 26 or more, but I know Washington hunters that have put in every year for 30-40 years and still havent drawn one.
Currently printing up a bunch of B8s, and upper A zones Three day pistol/carbine class coming up in early October at the homies private range.
I've been trying to conserve ammo recently, and do mostly dry fire.
I still definitely need to put some good work in while I have access to 0-900 yards in my back yard, and can move around and shoot as much as I want to. Didn't get to smack steel 1k yards with the 16inch AR like I wanted to the last couple trips.
So I think I'm gunna bust out the spotting scope and the baofengs and have my mom spot for me 😂😂😂
I'll probably set up a couple of stages. Thinking I might shoot a few mock USPSA qualifiers.
I've set the goal of getting qualed in carry optics at minimum "soon" .So that means I need to run four official qualifiers. I wanna try for M class by the end of 2025. Going off some of the stats and numbers in Ben Stoegers books, It shouldn't be too lofty of a goal lol if I can take it seriously lol.
I'm likley to be poorish again 2025 so I figure I can trade out the multiple classes a year, for shooting a bunch of local matches haha. Instead of the outlaw and steel challenge matches I do every now and then. I wanna be legit and shoot some USPSA shit.
Picked up some trade show work next week, otherwise I would stay out there until Wednesday or Thursday and bask in the enjoyment of "camping" with a big house with internet for as long as I can lol.
I always forget that the major conventions and trade shows, often use union labor for set up and break down. It's like 24 bucks under my normal wage, but it's still almost 40 an hour to do easy ass work. I can't complain. Plus it's usually a bunch of overtime, which I could really use.
And it should be fun to get behind the scenes of PAX West. Hopefully I end up some cool gaming swag hahaha. They usually hook it up conventions and trade shows for the labor and I better get some cool random video game shit lol.

Your weekend is a lot more exciting than mine. Lol.
Taking Waylors to swim lessons on Saturday morning.
Going to my stepmoms Saturday afternoon to help with some house work that she can't do herself.
Sunday morning I'm taking Waylon to see my grandma. She's 87 and has Alzheimers and breast cancer. She's refusing any treatment for the cancer. I try to see her once a week while I still can. We were always very close. It's awesome seeing how happy her and Waylon get when they see eachother too.

This will be my first full weekend off since April 27th.
I’m going to stop at the beer store and pick up a six pack of something better than Miller Lite. Then I’m going to get a start on the riddling up with the laundry and the like. Saturday, I’m going to get up, finish up the laundry, dust, wash windows and vacuum and shampoo the carpets.
When I have finished with that, I’m going to get everything still in boxes put away and the empty boxes put out in the dumpster.
Sunday is church early and then probably nothing after that.

I'm picking up a new to me Marlin Model 60 (circa 1974) this evening, a Tasco scope should arrive via Ebay and I'll take some time this weekend to zero it. I've been getting into .22's. this year. Vintage rifles and competition handguns. I picked up a Beretta Neos and a Tx22 Competition with lots of Tandemkross add ons, a 1980's 10/22 with a wood stock and old school scope and after this evening two Model 60's. I was shooting steel at 200 yards with the 10/22 and the (circa 2000) Model 60 is shooting sub MOA at 50 yards.
I may try my hand at shooting clays on Saturday morning. I went and watched the 5 Stand guys doing their thing this past Tuesday and it looked fun.
Non gun related I have a funeral on Saturday for one of the patriarchs of our church who passed at the age of 95 in July. More church Sunday morning and then a fundraiser Sunday night where there will be ice cream. Should be a nice weekend.

I bought a Tikka .308 rifle and vortex scope a couple years ago with the idea of tip toeing into some longer range shooting. I never got around to sighting the damn thing in until yesterday and I had a blast. One thing is like to run by some of the more experienced here is, should I invest in a bipod? The range I go to has some wood props with cloth on top to rest the gun and it is very helpful. Would a bipod be even better for stability?
Tikka.308 rifle.
Bottom target was getting the scope sighted in at 108 yds. Top was after some adjustments. Not claiming to be anything special and it was my first time at anything over 50yds. But still happy with results and have some work to do.

Mostly doing some house chores and shit this weekend. We’ve got a ton of shit coming up including two small vacations so have to wrap up most of my outside chores that will need done before fall this weekend and next and I want to fuck off next weekend on the long weekend.
Stayed up till 2 working on my car last night and should be able to get it out this weekend a bit so that will be fun. Will also probably smoke some ribs or something this weekend. May try to have a fire and open a bottle of something good.

If you don't want to mount a bipod, you can get something like these. I believe I picked mine up from Walmart. I like them well enough.
