We're the Military and Airpower Guys of Jonah Goldberg of National Review Online + a stray we found wandering around looking lost. All original material JHD, BHD, JR, WT, and KA 2003-2010 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/05/a_little_photoo.html Fri, 06 Jan 2012 18:35:55 Z Movable Type 4.12 en Copyright 2012 http://www.rssboard.org/rss-specification First up - this is why people can put up with some of the stupid stuff that comes with being in the military. The job is anything but ordinary (though I admit, why people *enlist* and make a career out of Finance and Personnel Administration is beyond me). U.S. Marines drive an Amphibious Assault Vehicle as it tows another vehicle from Camp Schwab, Okinawa, to amphibious transport dock ship USS Juneau (LPD 10) under way in the Pacific Ocean on May 21, 2007. The Juneau is assigned to Task Force 76 which operates from Sasebo, Japan.

JMH, Bush is to blame for my getting a smoker instead of a Weber. He is also responsible for the slug population in Washington state, Hillary Clinton needing rabies shots and Algore in general. http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/05/a_little_photoo.html#comment-60302 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/05/a_little_photoo.html#comment-60302 Wed, 23 May 2007 12:55:17 -0600 Well, the President was caught driving without his seatbelt fastened. There must be some connection between that and the unmitigated failure of his Iraq 'adventure', and his refusal to admit to using concaine before his debates with VPresident Gore, who really won the 2000 election, and whose magnanimous efforts to save the world from catastrophic climate change are being gravely hindered by the President's refusal to understand the realities of GCW demonstrated by his refusal to wear a seatbelt.

That's Mike Lehnherr's job. My personal cross to bear. I continually screw up its and it's and don't even do it consistently. Izzat all you got today? http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/05/a_little_photoo.html#comment-60297 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/05/a_little_photoo.html#comment-60297 Wed, 23 May 2007 11:41:51 -0600 "its" Cheers http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/05/a_little_photoo.html#comment-60296 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/05/a_little_photoo.html#comment-60296 Wed, 23 May 2007 11:39:05 -0600 HL - yes, it is. I'm contemplating getting a semi. The "frenchie" is a MAS 49/56. I've a 49, as well, though it's the Syrian version with the integral bayonet. Yes, my Finn KVT-40 is there (it has the bayonet) the SVT has the scope. There's a Romanian AK in there, too. The SMLE is and isn't what you thinnk - you can be forgiven for your ID, as it's a hybrid and you can't see the receiver. It's actually a MkV in MkIII wood. I got that from frequent commenter John S, some years ago. But how did you miss noting the Winchester M1? http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/05/a_little_photoo.html#comment-60294 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/05/a_little_photoo.html#comment-60294 Wed, 23 May 2007 11:20:43 -0600 they have the tow cables crossed too. i would be leery of the constant pull/tug with the whole floatie thing going on. http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/05/a_little_photoo.html#comment-60293 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/05/a_little_photoo.html#comment-60293 Wed, 23 May 2007 11:08:59 -0600 OK...I spy...a couple of SVT-40s (would one be your shorty one?) a VZ-58, a SMLE, and something French. Is the VZ-58 a dummy/inop? http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/05/a_little_photoo.html#comment-60291 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/05/a_little_photoo.html#comment-60291 Wed, 23 May 2007 10:56:51 -0600 Oooh - Purty! And functional :-) That's a very nice addition to the Castle! http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/05/a_little_photoo.html#comment-60290 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/05/a_little_photoo.html#comment-60290 Wed, 23 May 2007 10:48:05 -0600
