    Brad Pitt's WWII Tank movie, "FURY"

    That reminds me of the Poles in the beginning of the war. People joke how their cavalry charged tanks (actually, armored cars or recon vehicles), thinking they were stupid to do so. Just the opposite. They knew what they were doing, yet did it anyway. Charging armored vehicles of any sort...

    Brad Pitt's WWII Tank movie, "FURY"

    Going back to the whole "age" thing reminds me of two things: 1. The movie "Summer School". 16 year old surfer dude is busted by a judge for underage drinking and he wants to see the ID he used. Judge says, "You were a black Marine in 1968?" Surfer dude: "War changes a man in many ways."...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Just saw "Godzilla" and "Edge of Tomorrow" this month. Godzilla was good. Hoped it would be better. Edge of Tomorrow was very good.

    Anyone else stuck on WWII soldiers?

    Man in uniform? You know what really draws women in? Flight suits. I flew for 20 years. Chicks dig the smell of nomex. Seriously, my wife always said I looked great in my flight suit and my dress uniform (tho my blues were always uncomfortable to me).

    Ebay sale: Brand New A-2 HH Cockpit USA size 42R

    That's sounds pretty typical. People want the very best, but don't want to have to pay for it. Or better yet, when you put something up for sale, they PM you, "Hey, what's the lowest amount you'll take for this?" Losers. :eusa_doh:

    Foreign accents by non natives in movies and TV

    I just read that in the movie, "Valkyrie" they tried German accents but figure it would detract from the movie so they didn't use them. And when it comes to crappy accents, how can anyone forget Dick Van Dyke's English accent in "Mary Poppins"?

    Your favorite movie quotes

    It wasn't an actual quote, but it's what a lot of people heard. The movie is "Legion", with Paul Bettany and Dennis Quaid. Here's the wikipedia run down of the movie: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legion_(2010_film) When Quaid's character says, "I don't believe in God", Bettany replies...

    Cockpit USA Goatskin A-2 Review

    From what I've heard, some guys, when the A-2 was reintroduced, had them altered in Turkey. A lot of the mods caught on, especially the extra panels. It makes it so the sleeve doesn't ride down your arm when you reach for things.

    Cockpit USA Goatskin A-2 Review

    We wore them flying, just not combat. I think the original reissue A2s didn't have the side panel. Guys had them put in on their own dime. I think the AF actually listen to suggestions made from aircrew and had that "football gusset" put on later models. I think mine has that.

    Ain't it, tho? ;) Well, I hadn't thought of the whole, "read them in email" angle to the PM deal. I was just concerned if something was broken or not. Thanks!

    Problems with Private Messages here

    Well, that might be the case, but I also had messages from 2011 that haven't been read, either.
