I've always wanted a bazooka, but I haven't found the right training plan to get me there with the normal constraints of my life. I don't think I have the time right now. |

I thought that was a laser gun. bazookas are more Whoosh Boom!!  Shooting an AT4 (pretty much a modern day Bazooka) has been one of the highlights of my life. It went "BAAAAWOOOMMMM....(wait while it flies)...KABOOOOM!!!!" 203 Grenade Launcher was fun too. "POOM!...(watch the round fly through the air)...(see the explosion...wait for it)...THUMP!" In Camp Lejeune, on any given day, you hear "bam bam bam bam bam....thump thump thump thuthump." .50 cal HE rounds. I was a Combat Engineer (like a Wombat Engineer, but less furry). I used to blow stuff up for a living. Favorite sound on a demo range is the sound of metal falling from the sky. "zzzzzeeep" |

Not sure I want to start a whole thread on this, but rolling around in my head "what's an appropriate raise to ask for"? Situation would be re-locating to a different state with my company, same functional area but different/expanded role. I wouldn't do it if I didn't get more money (and re-location paid for) but not sure what is appropriate to ask for (percentage-wise) or what the protocol is. All preliminary so don't get all excited. Typical Corporate Limit is 15%. Are you moving somewhere more expensive (from Kansas, I guess it's most likely more expensive where you are moving to) because then that should be factored in as well in cost-of-living change. Good luck! Thanks both of you! I need to look up cost of living - it's in North Carolina but not a big metro area. Small community. north carolina is close (ish) to me and has a lot of pretty tris and lots of good college bball! Don't forget great beaches (Hatteras, Wilmington, Atlantic Beach) and great mountains (Boone). I love the Carolinas. I'll be buried in South Carolina though. Beaufort National Cemetery, near "The Great Santini".

Definitely an intriguing area! Many of the employees there have vacay homes on the Outer Banks. That just looks crazy on Google Maps. Raleigh 70.3, Beach 2 Battleship... trust me I've already been poking around at the races out there |

That meant that someone had the cojones to fire multiple mortars and that usually means they're going to do so until someone takes them out (suicidal like). We had that on Easter 2004. Story for a different day, over beers. Speaking of Beer. Shiner Christmas Brew is saweet. It has peaches and pecans. |
