Toys old and new

Ok so what is the fascination with all those weapons? And how in the world did so many of you get your hands on M4s? I have a feeling that if y'all had carried one of those rifles everywhere , including the shower for two years, you'd be singing a different tune. However, we have managed to purchase one really cool toy so far, but it's the first of many.[img]

Very Nice!! That makes me sad... I just sold my little black car for a "family" vehicle. We purchased a Honda Pilot off ebay with the DVD player for the kids. I told my husband I wanted my car back!!! Sad

My gun is owned by a Marine buddy...I felt like I was playing a really cool video game.

Oh, you guys should've seen Angeline with the guns...at one point, she started giggled and turned around with her finger on the trigger...while laughing. The boys and I freaked. I have never been paralyzed with fear until that moment. (I wouldn't do so well in combat)

Kayla...you have the boat still. As much as I love the car, I would take a boat any day! Is it water skiing season yet?!

M4s are what you guys use. We civilians have to lower our standard to the ar-15. No full auto and no 3 shot burst. My God that would be beautiful though. Its good I guess I couldn't join cause the hardware that you guys use would have kept me in for life. If you know any crooked quarter masters let me know. Little joke(or was it) It was but I would love to come across some body armor, bio-haz suits, and grenades (just for fishing though) for a good price.

I guess I take my weapons experience for granted. By definition, I'm an Ordnance Corps Officer, which means I learned ALL about the Army's Weapons Systems and Ammunition. You'd have been in pure bliss firing some of the things I've fired. MK19, M249, M9, M240B, M2, AT4, Grenades, etc....I guess my favorite was the 25mm Bushmaster Chain Gun on the Bradley. I went to gunnery with an infantry unit while I was in Korea and they took me out to the range one day. I'd still rather jump out of planes than go to the range, though. I guess it's all a matter of preference. Jeramy has some pretty cool experiences too if we can get him on here to share some of them.

Susan - I think you are awesome for what your doing! I don't think I could do it.
Julie - The picture you have of you and your man on here as your toy is so cute! I guess I would have to say that my hubby would be my toy.

I love my toy! I play with it every chance I get.
lol!

Yeah, you can feel how the Cayman hugs the road. The fastest my husband has done with me in the car is 148mph and you could feel how the tires held onto the road. I know everyone LOVES the 911s, but the Cayman S is a super sports car. A jet boat will be our next toy this summer when my husband gets home, but the Ducati 1098 and more and more sports cars are on the way. What can I say? He's a pilot and he has a need for speed. LOL

I just put a hold on a new Yamaha SX230 High Output jet boat! I can't wait to get to Charleston and get it! We're going to have so much fun with it when my husband gets home. Ours will be blue like this one in the picture. Two months and counting!!! Please keep him in your prayers.

Susan...I don't know why but I just can't get into the flight suit. And mine isn't a pilot but a nav...B-1. Is your hubby also a daredevil?! Also I am jealous of the boat...Mike (aka the boy toy) is saving for a MasterCraft. Don't think it will do him much good if he gets stationed in Rapid City, SD though Wink
