Does anybody know if I can be an 11B Infantry soldier in the North Dakota National Guard? The only MOS's that I see are mostly construction. I'd be living in Jamestown. I'm willing to drive to another town if they have any Infantry Guard positions elsewhere in the state. Thanks!

I gave my employer 2 weeks write notice and am schudualed to start my job in a new company soon. My employer terminated me early and now I am out of work for half a week which is money I really can't afford to loss. Isn't it the law in Florida for my employer to pay me until my notice day? If so how do i claim it. I also have to state that the reason I am quiting is because my boss said some really racial things and then throw a wad of paper at the back of my head then next day. I'm happy i got a new just, but I feel it is not right what they did. I even told them i really can't afford to miss these few days, but all they said was "oh well" to my face.

"When the Dems lost the mid-term elections in 2002, they just went berserk. They became the "opposition party", as opposed to the "loyal opposition party".

what scares the Democrats is the calculus of their failure since 1968--ie, pulling out of Vietnam. They have had two Presidents--Carter and Clinton for a total of 12 years in the White House. Republicans have had five presidents--Nixon,
Ford, Reagan, Bush I and Bush II for a total of 26 years, so far.

The three front-running Democratic candidates for president are deeply invested in the United States losing in Iraq.
dems now control both houses of Congress have a vested interest in victory for Al Qaeda. that is a scary and sobering reality.

In an interview with the Washington Post, Democratic Whip James Clyburn has finally admitted what we all should have realized: The worst nightmare of Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid would be victory for the United States in Iraq."

I'm curious as to why the confederate flag is equated with slavery and racism. Slavery only became illegal AFTER the civil war. Many northern statesmen owned slaves right through the war. Also, the Civil War was never fought about slavery. (look it up) it was fought over state's rights and taxation without representation. Slavery only became an issue towards the end of the war. Not only that, but the confederate flag was NOT the flag of the confederacy. It was a simple battle flag. Any ideas? (doing research for thesis)

Considering Bush is at war with the Muslem world, does that make bush a great Christian. Or is just that he likes to kill Iraqi people?

Or is it that bush likes to rob the American taxpayer of Billions of dollars a week for a illegal war?

i worked for a company that stole thousands of dollars from it's employees every year and i got fired from taking six peices of trim that my boss had given to me to get rid of. i did not get reinburst for the oil changes i paid for on my company truck or on all the material i paid for out of my own pocket even though i had reciepts for everything i brought. this is wrong. do employees have no rights at all. just because we can't afford attorney fee's and the courts always side with businesses.

Remember, we're not just talking about big money lobbyists, but lobbyists of all kinds, including those that look out for children, the elderly, etc.

If so, what would you replace it with?

I love money and hate people that don't have money

I think if you can't afford health insurance that is too bad.

Pulled over on a major highway for 71 in a 60. My FIRST speeding ticket ever, been driving 5 years. 21 year old male. My excuse: i merged on to the highway only to be behind a 18wheeler who was throwing rocks on my expensive paint job, so i used the passing lane for exactly what it was put in for, i downshifted passed the trucker then put my blinker on and got back in the right hand lane, then slowed back down to around 63, within 30 seconds a cop car came flying up behind me, he gave me an a ticket and allowed me no time to explain. Is this worth fighting? any help or advice appreciated

Since the NSA has our phones tapped, and spys, agents, cells, are all over the place, if i pick up the phone, called someone, spoke of "ammonium nitrate," "fertilizer," "airport", "bomb", "down with america", "i have a weapons stash", "liberal", "operation ****" on the phone, the government would be on me with agents and assassinate me and make it look like an accident? The government is probably tracking the internet, like how china is, and the keep tabs on us. If i picked up the phone, i bet i can have a conversation with an NSA agent. I use to think my brother and cousins were spys, because at restaurents(we us to go alot) they would always go to the bathroom together, probably to relay info..."National Security" ...maybe e coli. in the food is a threat to "national security", so they kidnap the chief, torture him, kill him, make it look like a chopped his hand off while prepairing food...The gov has many bugs to do their spying, there are a lot of bugs where i am...

Dear veterans and LEF officers,

I am working on second survey of the real-life combat use of the M16/ M4 ammunition magazines.

In shooting range, the soldiers and the officers are told to collect the used / emptied magazines after the shooting practice is over.

But in real-life combat situation, I was wondering if you throw out the emptied ammunition magazines and not recover them.

This question is especially focusing on the current Iraq war, where there are heavy urban CQBs take place very often.

I have been reading numerous reports that the soldiers enter a house, then finds the insurgents, and engage in firefight. Then the soldiers leave the house, and call the tank or air support to blow up the house, while the insurgents still in there.

In the situation above, clearly, there is no time to recover the used magazines.

But I want to have a surefire answer.

is it true that the U.S. Army uses M16/ M4 magazines
