There is nothing with as much stopping power as a .45 in a compact weapon. It took us a long time to remember that, and to follow Jeff Cooper's advise.fuzzbert_1999@yahoo.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08523386203834736598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16443701.post-70305755429323824932007-09-20T08:35:00.000-04:002007-09-20T08:35:00.000-04:00Changed from .45s to .38s?

They were a special breed of guys who worked only at night...didn't come on duty until after sundown. <BR/><BR/>I'll tell a few stories about a few later, but no, I did not and did not want to work with dogs. The dogs used overseas never return home (at least this is true with Vietnam). They were all killed.

And did you ever have the chance to work with a dog? <BR/><BR/>My dad used to have a deal going with the APs that ran the kennel at Carswell. Folks would hit their golf balls into the dog yard, and these guys would collect them and sell them back cheap. Dad got a lot of his balls that way, as well as diggin' them out of the creeks with a special tool. He's a scrounger. <BR/><BR/>Anyway, I got to go with him a few times into the kennel and thought it would be cool as hell to be an MP/AP if I got to work with a dog.FHBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04261425729050948728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16443701.post-78716143861414945942007-09-18T22:00:00.000-04:002007-09-18T22:00:00.000-04:00This is another reason I need a maid - cleaning ca...This is another reason I need a maid - cleaning causes too much trouble!Alexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14910781191660514689noreply@blogger.com
