Raiders of the lost SNARK ! CHAT THREAD

Some of you Army-types may know if this is a real issue thing or just a novelty pin. A guy here at work told me he found it in a car he bought at auction last night.

This is the subdued version of the combat action badge - the standard is silver. I can't say anything regarding authenticity.

I just ate like a hundred pounds of homemade Mexican burrito mush. I feel like Guyon would be proud. Save me.

Guyon can't save you. He's burping a Brown's cheesburger. You're screwed.

Yeah that is the subdued Combat Action Badge. It is worn on the ACU's Traditionally the Army only awarded badges to Infantry (Combat Infantry Badge) and Medics (Combat Medic Badge) This was changed recently and now any MOS other than Infantry and Medics can get the Combat Action Badge (CAB). Appears to be authentic you can get them at the PX for like 5 bucks not sure anyone makes fakes.

Classic Guyon.

Psyop & paperairplane, thank you! I had no idea. I already have a combat action ribbon, maybe I'll mod this one from a Buck M9 to a Beckernet.

You should be okay, as long as you didn't use the word, "cliched", in the essay.

tonite's fun with the new toy:

.22LR, 33 feet, 3 inch target size, two-handed hold, iron sights

now, a few weeks of consistent practice, and i might move to 75 feet

gotta start working on one handed, target/bullseye style

Ok so I tried to make some micarta tonight. I made a box with a press out of scrap lumber. Then I cut up some old jeans into strips. Here is where I may have screwed up. I used fiberglass resin. Turns out it is dark green and the hardener is red. Will this stuff dry clear or did I just waste 15 bucks and 2 hours?

Crap.

i think in terms of power, one can skip straight to .44 magnum, .454 casul, or any number of the nice .500 rounds

.45 ACP is only really good for 2 legged deer, not the 4 legged kind, or bears, or hogs, or ... maybe fluffy bunny rabbits

yeah, I was gonna say: "but they make a .475! and a .480!"
