Once again, it's time for the FNGT!

If you don't know how this works, . That link will take you to another site to give you some additional information and tell you about some of our off-site features. That's also the site where we will host the weekly guitar threads, should Poal go down.

NOTE: That site is by invitation only. If you want an invite, and you're a regular participant, then just ask theBuddha, or myself.

If you do know what's going on, you probably don't need to click that link - but you may want to, to make sure you know of the other features, such as the archive or a separate forum that's invite only.

Remember, we are guests here on Poal. Let's act like it. If you're interested in supporting Poal, then .

It was more me doubting my memory. It's amazing how the training stays with you - but it was training that's beaten into you with repetition and continued exercises until it becomes 'second nature'. You train like you fight, you fight like you train.

To be clear, I've never had to kill anyone attacking me with a knife.

And, you can point your firearm at things you're willing to kill - not necessarily intend to kill. To use police as an example, they're willing to kill but don't actually intend to kill. They'll kill if they must (assuming an ideal and just world). The firearm safety about 'intend to kill' is bogus when you're in the military or I suppose if you're a cop.

I have kinda spoken about my military service in public on Voat or Poal. It's not something I talk about often, outside of some basic information and a few amusing stories.

I was unfortunate enough to experience combat. There's a slim chance that I've taken a life. It's a pretty slim chance, but it's possible. In several instances, I laid down covering fire. Those fuckers could see my head for the briefest of seconds and then it was back under cover so that I knew which way to shoot! LOL

I was scared. Fear didn't seem to matter. I did what I was trained to do.

(My internet decided it was time for a break. I'm still perfectly okay with this.)

I was more referring to a situation where there is some conflict happening. If you pull your gun and point in the middle of a fight you may as well pull the trigger too

LOL Unless you're pointed at someone on your side! It's a bit of a blurry rule, but I'm sure you know what you mean. Don't point your firearm at anything you're not willing to kill.

The auction is still going on. I've done okay with this automated bidding thing. They even grabbed two after they crossed the block but were still within my bidding range. They didn't even go to the maximum I was willing to spend!

Thats awesome that you got the cars for less than you were willing to spend!

My son woke up and he tells me that every inmate is given a tablet with songs for sale on it at $1.50 each or you can purchase movies to watch, play video games, or even pay to make phone calls on it.

The jail will stoop to anything to bleed money out of the inmates
