Today's Quote: "I am learning all the time. The tombstone will be my diploma." ~Eartha Kitt
Lesson Learned: A woman loves to shop, weather for clothes or parts for an AR15.
Who would have thought that I would become initimately familiar with the various sling adapter designs out there on the market? Or would come to know what type of tactical latches could give you an advantage in a fire-fight. I can't "field strip one" with my eyes closed, but I can recongnize many of it's components by sight, now. Certainly this was not on my list of Things To Learn when I married my DH 20 some odd years ago. But the decisions you make in your youth somehow have a way of catching up to you. I married a young, idealistic, intense, but peace-time Marine. Which means that I am now married to a more mature, more realistic (but still idealistic), even more focused and intense ARNG Soldier; one who is soon to be deep, deep in the Hooah! going on in the Middle East. ... So, he's training and studying and asked me to go shopping for him. So what can a woman do? I can't help him train or study (in fact, I'm probably a distraction to that stuff) - but I can shop. I also rifled through his parts case here at home and now have a little care package with some black metal pieces all good to go. I send them with a little prayer * that they will give my DH some advantage to help him and his Battle Buddies stay alive.
* Yes, I am not particularly religious, but as the "leave the USA" date draws nearer, I am thinking it probably isn't a bad idea to hedge my bets.
