Our military Padre died last weekend. Had a heart attack while driving. I'm not overly religious however the man was a genuinely top bloke. Always had time to chat to anyone, could find the darkest humour in everything and offered sound advice. Plus we used to shoot and shared the same breed of dog. Sadness is in having to empty his office and chapel the plan the funeral. (Ironically he'd be the guy we'd all ask for advice on this bit!)

Second Nikwax wash - just read the instructions carefully and throw a rinse through the washing machine afterwards. It does require a re-application if you've put it through heavy use (either heavy weather or kit/daysacks causing wear on the shoulders)

Low speed, high drag?

Open for criticism on my new loadout. 12/10 would operate with.

There are only three people on the internet.

The Warminster one is in the middle of the woods. You can't see it from the road.. DBS cert printing means you'll be fine through the checks, they'll take an age to post it though.

Warminster Airsoft has a full replica (with lights and noises) of a Stargate. Also the guy who built it also plays in a "Ground team" replica suit.

I've got a phantom, that was immediately not good enough. Excellent quality though, if the Spark is good I might trade/sell up

There was this one guy.. 👌 (absolutely aware the the 👌 has nothing to do with Nazis or white power, just 4chan up to their antics)

It took them 110 days to carefully craft that damage onto the frame. The Austrians are known for their attention to detail. That damage is perfectly unique to you.

After last week getting absolutely reemed out by my boss it ended with another manager taking him to oneside and politely telling him he's riding me too hard, unfairly and with no grounds. This was nice, but no-one where near as nice as a weekend with my new dog. Who is in my office sleeping in her crate.

If the couple want to own the house for themselves they can buy what they want. The house is likely to be their house for them without army influence - i've just done it and it's magical to own white goods appliances that work and won't have their plugs cut off. The army sometimes buys job lots of housing, but rarely these days. Mostly they're selling it off. If the army did buy the house and then rent it it'd be a nightmare to rent/resell when the couple move on (assuming they'd move after 2/3 years on posting). The system is supposed to be that you can have a house subsidised (with an Army Help to Buy with return of service/hit on the pension) and if it's within 50 miles of your posted base you have to use it and commute.

Mil spec being over priced, you're not qualified to use it despite it being made for idiots and has an "Out of Order" sign on it?

But, you know what's made me smile? Cash available for sports clubs. An old bunker. 1000 hours on google. Buying some clay traps. Some dollar injected into it. Boom - got a Clay Target Clubhouse (Recce in for this afternoon and would be an offence if I didn't dust some clays at the same time)

I said called up, not press ganged.. You put the offer out, and hope people have learnt something during their public service that it's the done thing to help people if you're in a position to do so.
