Celebrating the 2nd* on the 4th AAR

Yesterday Castle Argghhh! hosted its largest gathering yet - 28 family and friends including the Master and Mistress of the Castle for the 2nd annual Celebrate the 2nd on the 4th at Castle Argghhh!There are no pictures. SWWBO and I were just too busy running the ranges - me the firing range and her the cooking range and smoker, and no one assumed the duties of visual chronicler.The brisket was demolished, as were many burgers and brats. Much food was brought by visitors, and there were surprisingly...

Seeking Advice on a holster, and other news

Reader Jim B has a personal stake in the war, and sends us this request. In truth, I don't have an opinion or good knowledge. This stuff is too new for my interests or personal experience... I had a phone request for a shoulder hoster that would accomodate a Beretta 92 with a light. I need to get one and ship it to a friend in the 'Stan ASAP. The only purpose for a side arm is to buy time to fight your way to your rifle. When you are in a combat outpost, you sleep a little better (although...

Insertions

How does it feel, to have THIS MAN insert his designs on upon you? You see, in the quiet of the night, he made three *er* “itty-bitty” insertions. And they were so fast and hidden that hardly anyone did notice. Yet, when the product of these insertions is fully gestated, the resulting pain will be deeply felt by all. Bring out The Gimp ! For we all have a collective date with pain starting on January 1st 2012...

Let the games begin!

The DoD fires the Administration's opening salvo in Budget Chicken with Congress. You young'uns may not have seen too much of this in your lifetimes, but it was pretty much a staple during the 80's and early 90's.

TINS!*: Duel

“We were actually hoping to inspire Bill to a TINS....” said John.Typically, encounters between helicopters and fifty-ones always ended badly, usually for helicopters, and almost always for the fifty-one. On 19 May, 1970, I watched a college classmate I’d known since 1964 fly into a multiple-gun ambush a klick from where I was operating. Lanny was the one who convinced the six of us in the Flight Program to buy beer mugs in the college bookstore and have “The Flight Crew”...

News from the Front.

Not really, just needed a title. Castle Argghhh! Farm and Migratory Habitat for Sergeants will be recieving two Sergeants today who need fostering while moving about the world. Afghan Old Blue will be by for the third time, while Bouhamme r will be making his first visit. Prime Rib will be involved. We figured Blue would be tired of ribeye. Funny thing - Old Blue usually pops in from Afstan and then heads back to Afstan. He must like SWWBO's cookin'!

Another rare vehicle at the MVPA Convention

One I've not seen in the US before - the Steyr "Rauppen-schlepper Ost" tracked truck from World War II. The vehicle on the left is a "Schwimmwagen," or swimming jeep, also German WWII. I've seen a few of those in the US. Sorry, Sergeant B - consider this a cruel birthday present...

Happy Birthday, Home!

For all of you who have ever received a flag from your "adopted" troops stationed in the various corners of the globe with the notation, "This flag was flown..."...it flew from a flagpole that looked a lot like this, in surroundings that looked a lot like this, in a sky that looked a lot like this.Fly it today. It wasn't meant to sit neatly folded, wrapped in plastic to protect it from the dust, tucked away in a desk drawer, out of sight.Celebrate the Nation it represents...
