Its official. Australia is jacked up.

Ok Devils...those of you that get sent to the paradise down under, now you have another worry.  If Salt Water Crocs were just decorations for your K-Bar....if the 19 different varieties of poisionous snakes were just living belts just waiting for you to skin them...then how about this.


THE SPIDERS IN AUSTRALIA EAT SNAKES!!!!

Yeah.

That's right.

The Spiders in Australia eat snakes.  Oh and no.  It didn't happen in the boonies...or outback as they call it....no.  The guy who photographed this just happened to catch the scene in his fucking back yard!

Go here for the rest of the story.

If you don't like my site, then don't come to my site.  You stupid, arrogant ass bitch!

Game fucking over.

Read this bullshit at Marine Times.

The Marine Corps is beyond fucked.  You want the truth.  The truth is women can't stand up to the physical rigors of Infantry warfare.  This pussified Commandant and his cohorts are about to make a mockery of the Corps all to be politically correct.

This is fucked up.

h/t B5 which probably has a much more acceptable stance on this subject.

Sidenote:
I've been thinking this for awhile now and this confirms it.

We're seeing the poorest leadership in the history of the Marine Corps.  AMOS is a definite no-go.  I just wish he had daughters to stuff in a foxhole with a male Marine.  I wish he had daughters that HE was pushing to join the Infantry.  Oh and our SgtMaj of the Marine Corps is suddenly no where to be found or heard???  Interesting.

I hope a Republican is elected in November and I hope he sacks the entire sorry group.  Fuck'em all.

Mythical Fleet. New gear for Boat Company.

All weather capability.

Able to transport 24 Marines.

Tested from the Arctic to the jungles in Brazil.  The Watercat 12 is a winner. 

Small Boats doesn't get more business because it conduct operations the same way everyone else does.  It even has the same equipment.

Don't get me wrong.  The Marines shouldn't buy the Watercat because it will give them a "new" toy but because it will expand the reach of the Boat Company...make them competitive with rotary winged aviation in many scenarios and set the stage for operations in the Pacific.

4th Tanks

Marines from 4th Tank Division, Twentynine Palms, Calif., clean their M1A1 Abrams Main Battle Tank, April 10 after a day of training during Exercise Africa Lion 2012. AL-12 is a U.S. African Command-sponsored, Marine Forces Africa-led exercise involving various types of training including command post, live-fire and maneuvering, peace keeping operations, an intelligence capacity building seminar, aerial refueling/low-level flight training, as well as medical and dental assistance projects. The annual exercise is designed to improve interoperability and mutual understanding of each nation's military tactics, techniques and procedures.

The dirty little secret.

This is the side of the war that they don't want you to see.

Why no B-1R experiment???

Boeing proposed it.

Supposedly the USAF wasn't interested.

Which leads to the question.  Why not?  Every scenario for combat in the Pacific shows an outnumbered allied air force being overwhelmed.  A couple dozen missile trucks would seem ideal.

Instead of a new bomber perhaps we should find new ways of using the tools that we already have.  At the very least conduct an experiment at Red Flag with one or two of them.

Raytheon SDB II

Sharkey and friends are upset about the F-35 u-turn.

120418 - Cameron 'to Change His Mind' on the One Thing He Got Right in Defence

So Sharkey and friends see RAF fingerprints all over the switch back to the B model.

Interesting.

They make a couple of points in this paper that I disagree with but they also make a couple of points I can't dispute.  I don't have good enough visibility on the UK defense complex to give a proper opinion.

One claim made that I find interesting is that they claim even Super Hornets or Rafales operating off her majesty's carriers would put the Typhoon to shame.

Like I said interesting.

The Typhoon has largely escaped a serious inspection of its capabilities.

Either way.  The UK has some serious egg on its face. My recommendation.  Sort it out and stop acting like a "CHAV".
