"What are KSA's?

It goes both ways. Some people think military training is better than it is, some think it's worse than it is. Some people in the military like to think they are awesomely skilled, while other like to think there is nearly no training. On the civilian side, some like to downplay the military's skill across the board because they do Action Pistol matches or bullseye. Still though, they can't put a fill in our radios, maintain the trucks, maintain the crew serve weapons, maintain personal weapons, know all the TTP's, andeverything they have in civilian life; then still have enough time worry about all the mounted and dismounted tactics on each level and be 100% proficient with their personal weapons (which they barely allowed to ever shoot).

When instructed, can you understand why they might not take kindly to "I know this a lot better than you." Because even if you do, they know you don't know all the other stuff. So why get on their case about not spending as much time on one skill set as you have.

Or so I would think. Who knows."

Tomorrow I am prepping the garden for planting.

Next week all I have scheduled for now is to get some oil changes. "

"Ahahahaha its been a long time but i'm no newbie, just haven't been on for long time although i do see the date now aha.
P.S the bar is never truly destroyed just forgotten...."

"In my avatar image (to the left) I'm shooting a Savage Edge .308, which is identical to the Axis (the name was changed, the design is the same.)

It is an excellent rifle. It is very accurate out of the box, inexpensive, and fairly well made. I think it would be a great first deer rifle. It is almost on par with the Ruger American, which I think is a slightly better rifle. It is also a little more expensive, though.

Right now, .308 is very difficult to find. Its popularity is the reason for this. .30-06, on the other hand, is generally more available. This is why my next deer rifle, a Zastava Mauser M70, is chambered in .30-06. I can still buy ammo for it at Wally world, without digging, searching, clawing and wheeling-n-dealing to get it at an inflated price.

If deer is the quarry, .243 is probably a better beginner's choice. And it, like .30-06, is still available."

"How could you not? Its true. Wealth, power, heck even Justice and order those are only means to an end not an end in itself. Happiness is a means and an end, to be happy with ones accomplishments and life in general and find your own little niche in this universe of ares is the universal goal of all."
