HAHAHA... let's be srs for a second though, Colbert>Fick :wink:

If you're into that sort of thing I would also highly recommend "House to House by David Bellavia" http://www.amazon.com/House-David-Bella ... 1416574719

Brutal as hell, there's some real nasty hand to hand accounts in there as well as a lot of incidents with fallujians who were high as hell and just wouldn't die.

Fick has been an interesting character so far, really enjoying the book it's well written. I read House to House a long time ago and it's one of my favorite books from the series, the hand to hand in the building was amazing, and that guy who was high getting ripped to shreds by M60's I think they were. I love books like this.

yeh, it's 8x10 - 1200 watts, it moves ALOT of air.
Wheels are built into the back, along with a monster kickplate and a handle at top of back, has slide rails on back so you wheel it up to vehicle, turn it round, pick up the end and push :twisted:

That sounds alot easier than it is though!

Went to a Westfields here in Brisbane today, and saw none other than Laurie Woods, DFC. Although I've never met him before, I introduced myself, shook hands with the legend and bought a copy of his book, "Flying into the Mouth of Hell" and asked him to sign it.. I was shaking by the end of it and I think I made a complete idiot of myself, but I am very proud to have met him :D It made my day!

Mac Pro MA356LL/A
2 x Dual Core Xeon 2.66Ghz Processors
2Gb Ram + 250Gb HDD
Nvidia Gefore 7300GT Video Card

Gunna upgrade it to the 2 x Quad Xeon's and throw 16GB of RAM into it with a spare GTX280 I've got and see how it runs. Might replace my current desktop if it's lucky. Paid $840 for the thing which ain't too bad..
