Even as the laziest slacker on the staff who only went to the range every six months, I was far and away the best shooter when it came to .45. I owned one. I went shooting almost every week but not at navy ranges where somebody first spent an hour or two boring you to tears before letting the first group shoot. As with the physical readiness test, there were any number of officers on the staff that couldn't believe that 'fat smoking non-firing bastard' had not just lapped them on the run, but blown their doors off on the range.HMS Defianthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10024721130102173694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6198442674791729773.post-3664274478875682632014-09-07T05:39:09.492-04:002014-09-07T05:39:09.492-04:00More stories!!More stories!!LLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05538854359365988863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6198442674791729773.post-17157814537539611892014-09-06T14:14:18.753-04:002014-09-06T14:14:18.753-04:00I have lots of entertaining stories about travel. ...I have lots of entertaining stories about travel.

I can't believe I actually watched the whole thing.<br /><br />I'm sitting here thinking and wondering if I have an airline horror story comparable to yours and nothing comes to mind. Either I was extremely lucky during my road warrior days or my memory is gone. Prolly the latter.Buckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05319116022465066060noreply@blogger.com
