I live the smell of bayonets in the morning!

Next to napalm, of course.

Yep – The pounds come right back but the lost stripes take longer.

Bram,
But those exercises were awesome for taking off extra weight. I lost 10 pounds in 2 weeks in the maneuver box at NTC once. No sleep, minimal food, fueled basically by coffee and cigarettes. And working like a beast.

Yup, the poundage melted away.

Put it all back on first weekend back I think. But the point still stands.

Glad I’m not in the Navy. I’ve been on exercises during which I would get an hour or 2 of sleep a night for a couple of weeks. At the end of that run I was miserable. I had no memory and was incredibly quick tempered.

I would not make a 6-month cruise with sleep deprivation. I would be put off the ship for striking an officer inside a month. It is shocking that the Navy thinks people can effectively function with no sleep. Flies in the face of logic and real-world results.

That is freakin awesome! I happen to own a XDM .40. Glad to know the bayonet will fit.

Ooops. Fixed that link. The flashlight is cool, but what can beat a survival knife bayonet for your pistol?

Good post, but the entry titled “Survival Knife Bayonet” leads to a GunPundit post concerning an LED flashlight. There also seems to be a problem opening “Retiring to a Gun in the Sun”, although that might be the designated sites fault.

“Go out there now and give it a good shake,” Murdoc…seriously man you need to move.
