I love this hatred. People that get frustrated by this must miss the mental step where, without the snowplow plowing their street, a clean driveway would be useless since you wouldn't be able to use your car on a snowed-in road.

Ha! I met Rudy when I was in Africa and they were on break from filming. So much of him in his tv character

Exactly. He said he'd protect LGBTQ from radical Islam, and that he'd stop people with oppressive beliefs from entering the country. He spoke nothing about protecting LGBTQ from oppressive individuals in our country, or protecting them from other religious beliefs

So what is your vacation/work schedule like? Is there a minimum/maximum number of weeks you must work per year? Do you have flexibility on taking a week off her or there or missing time when sick?

Really cool man, can you explain a bit about what's going on inside?

There is the main gun they fire, that only shoots 1 shell at a time (the 105mm?). It runs on a three man crew, a loader, an unloader, and a third guy that seems in charge. Is that third guy communicating with the actual gunner to let him know when the gun is good to fire?

Then there is a second gun they show, which I imagine is the 40mm? What is the transitional process like when guys go from shooting off the 105mm to the 40mm? Do the three guys just run to a new station to do so? Is that what makes the transitions between weapons a bit slow?

And then I imagine the 25mm isn't shown. Does that run a similar way, or does it have a larger ammunition cartridge loaded up and require less work from the crew?
