Navy sailors have radiation sickness

Did I throw you VL? The Tavor is the first truely great bullpup design. The correct answer to my post was, brushing and dental floss are the acceptable dental care methods.

..."The Navy hopes to retain 989 sailors through the bonus, which is offered to sailors with up to 10 years of service, Manning said.
Manning said the following sailors with nuclear ratings will see an increase in re-enlistment bonuses:
Electronic technicians, submarines and surface ships.
Machinist’s mates, submarines and surface ships.
Engineering lab technicians, submarines.
The bonus is calculated using an award multiple, which is multiplied by additional months of service and base pay and divided by 12 to come up with a dollar amount, Manning said.
For example, the award multiple for electronic technicians on submarines has been raised from 8.5 to 9, meaning the re-enlistment bonus for a four-year contract has increased from $59,600 to $63,000, he said."...

That's better than I remember it.

Inflation. In '83 I maxed it for a non-nuc at 16k.

Might have to check one out but really liking my Steyr AUG right now.

they've taken pretty darn care of my son the last two years.

They've done such a nice job of it, he's going to extend two more years.

Hell - my son's going to make more than me, soon.

I sure hope that he is well taken care of BB. My comments stem from my sister's experience with the Navy and how they shafted a whole lot of people because they can't admit to what they were doing.

Fred, the Steyr is very impressive, but it has an okay scope, and shot from the left shoulder the cases come dangerously close to the face The Tavor can be set up true complete right or left hand operation. I put the Meprolight 21 sight so it is technically their IDF version. The only issue with its scope so far is the fiber optic can washout when shooting from relative darkness at a brightly lit object.

I have the latest Steyr that I can change recoil sides on and am using an ACOG instead of the original AUG scope. I could also choose to use the Meprolight on the std base.

An AUG with an ACOG should be very nice. I've got several EOtechs, but no ACOGs yet.

ACOG's are nice but too freaking expensive. I should never have bought the first one. Now I want to get a .308 version.

Toll of U.S. Sailors Devastated by Fukushima Radiation Continues to Climb
by Harvey Wasserman
The roll call of U.S. sailors who say their health was devastated when they were irradiated while delivering humanitarian help near the stricken Fukushima nuke is continuing to soar.

So many have come forward that the progress of their federal class action lawsuit has been delayed."...

Just did a search of Navy Times and this is the latest I found.
