    Alpha b-15: What a waste of time, energy, and money

    I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the G&B MA-1s are made by Alpha. If you check out the pics on their website, you can see the little Alpha tab on the sleeve pocket.

    Alpha b-15: What a waste of time, energy, and money

    I've seen those Houston jackets before. Has anyone pulled the trigger on one of them? I'd be curious to see how they stack up to an Alpha jacket.

    Lone Survivor. Brutal, but very good.

    Just saw "Ender's Game". Thought it was pretty good, but haven't read the book.

    Pocket Knife

    I always carry a pocket knife. I was at a funeral and my father was speaking to someone out of earshot. He then turns to me and asks, "You have a knife, don't you?" "Of course, Dad." He laughed and said, "Yeah, I was just saying that you would probably have one even here." At work, I have...

    "It puts the lotion on the skin!!" You know, I never have seen this movie. But then again, I have never seen, "ET" either. Last movie I saw was "Super 8" on Netflix.

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    A friend in my squadron was getting married. They had a card out and everyone was signing it. A mutual friend, instead of writing, "Best Wishes", etc, wrote: "Dude, I just got "Batman Begins" on blu-ray. It's fantastic! God bless Christopher Nolan!" Last movie I saw in a theater? Who knows...

    Your favorite movie quotes

    From "RocknRolla": Don't hurt me Arch... I'm only little! If I could be half the human being Bob is at the cost of being a poof, I'd have to think about it. Not for very long, but I'd have to pause. Mr. Quid does not get his gear from me, he has to travel, far and wide. But do leave...

    Books about WW2 from a German perspective

    German WW2 Books Len Deighton's "Bomber" is a book I read at least once a year. The fictional town that he writes about is in the area I was stationed at with the USAF in the late 1980s's. "It Never Snows in September" is a good one on the German view of "Market Garden".

    Gibson and Barnes Civil A2 and Air Force A2 Opinions???

    I have a Civil A2 from G&B. I love it. Nice leather, good knits, and as you said, you get a lot of bang for your buck with it. I'm currently USAF Aircrew and it's close to the one I was issued, but better leather (obviously) and my issue has a cotton tobacco brown lining. If you can...

    "Sahara" was a good movie. I really enjoyed it. Bit different from the book, but still good.

    Green Lantern was a fun movie (the gas gun scene was funny!). I haven't seen Captain America yet, but can't wait to see the Avengers.

    Any Do's & Don'ts in military clothing?

    Hmmm....interesting subject. It depends. I sometimes have a problem with someone wearing .mil gear if they are attempting to deceive, or just looking like a plain dirtbag. Some smelly hippie wearing BDUs, etc, and people might think, "Well, that's proof that the military recruits from the...

    Any Do's & Don'ts in military clothing?

    Reminds me of a line from, "Stripes" when Bill Murray is being issued his uniforms. He says something like, "In New York they're paying top dollar for trash like this!"

    Desert CWU-36P for sale - XL (13 Jul 11 - now with pictures!)

    And for those that are drooling over these pics and thinking that they'd snap this bad-boy up if it weren't an XL, be assured that if you normally wear a Large, this probably will fit fine. I wear an XL and this desert jacket seems a bit small. No wonder I never wore it!
