No word if Mr. Prum dismounted first or made a rolling attack prior to his permanent perforation. Either way knives still fail in gun fights and now I want some tasty home handmade dumplings.
They say I killed six or seven men for snoring. It ain’t true. I only killed one man for snoring. John Wesley Hardin.

Giggle.
She may not be a “looker”, but she ain’t butt ugly either.
This will not look good on a resume’!
Will not be next SMA?
If McKinney had a protege’…
It worked for Kamala..
I mentioned her on yesterday’s FGS post. It really is odd that she was selected as the 101st CSM. Well, a few years ago it would have been odd. The 101st needed a First female CSM eventually, so why not an Internment and Resettlement Specialist (31E-not even a “real” MP) who seems to have little to no combat experience? She joined a year before I did and was a division-level CSM a year before I retired as a SFC. That means two of two things:
1) I was an adequate NCO but never put myself over or got handed anything to advance quickly through the ranks.
2) She likely both put her own career first and got first-class treatment on her rise to the top. She may or may not have provided services herself along the way, from the things mentioned in that post.
The 101st traditionally has Infantry or Aviation branch senior leaders for good reason. It’s the world’s only Air Assault division and probably the best Light division in the Army (I might be biased). A 31E-turned 00Z doesn’t seem like the best fit.
MDW, on the other hand, tends to have MPs serving in the SEA position. Its unique role and responsibilities require someone able to effectively communicate with multiple Interagency law enforcement partners. MDW is also extremely high profile, though, and in the heart of FAFO territory. If the allegations against Knapp are true, she shafted herself by getting the shaft on Fort McNair. If she has a thing for sex on base, she might have made the rounds of all five MDW installations (McNair, Myer, Belvoir, AP Hill [ever they call it now], Meade), plus gotten some Marine action at Quantico and a little Seamen on the Navy Yard.
Oh, if it seems I don’t like 31Es, I have nothing against them. I just don’t respect them much. The first ones I met in Iraq were cool, including one attractive SPC who always had a dip in her mouth. Maybe she knew Knapp. The Marine guards at the Quantico brig just seemed sloppy, while some of their NCOs were complete assholes. Going to pick up a Detainee for his court martial one day, the junior enlisted guards looked like they just woke up and were in various stages of undress. When I picked up another Detainee one day, I was told he needed a “three-piece suit” (wrist and ankle cuffs and the belt). When I dropped him back off later that day, the NCO tried dressing me down telling me the Detainee was only supposed to be transported in handcuffs. I forget everything but they had Max/Min and In/Out classifications that determined the level of restraint.
Finally, the 31E in my BDE PMO cell was an asshole and seemed to be a bit of a creep. He’d been a Recruiter and, at 32, married a 19-year-old from the town he’d recruited out of a few years previously. Pretty questionable circumstances, in my opinion. She joined the Army not long after, and he called her training unit to make sure her Drill Sergeants knew her husband was a SFC.
I’m thinking that her retirement ceremony will a closed-door affair where instead of receiving a third Legion of Merit, she’ll get a revocation order of her last Good Conduct Medal. /s/
Welp, MP’s are almost like infantry. Just ask MSG Les Brown. Oh, wait. Never mind.
My late Daddy-in-law had a nice double-barrel – not a coach though. I made the mistake of touching off both barrels simultaneously once. Once.
LOL! Yep. Every young’un (and old’un) has felt the temptation to do something stoopid. A few even succumb to the temptation. And live to tell the tale (THERE I WUZ!!………)
The young lad was simply on his way to school and needing a little lunch money.
Knife to a gunfight just won’t cut it. You want a slab of cornbread to go along with your dumplins, ‘Ed?
Dood shouldn’t have been sleeping when Mr. Hardin was making his closing arguments.
There may and/or may not be a Rossi Rabbit Ear Coach Shottie in 12 gg close to hand. I admit nothing. Call my lawer…JWH.
I have a rabbit ear 12 gauge double at the cantina, originally belonged to my great grandpa. I think it was last fired sometime around 1935, when my dad and his cousin Jim cranked off both barrels at a bunch of crows on a wire fence. The story is that the two yutes (both 12 at the time) put the stock of the gun against a telephone pole, Jim put his head against the pole, dad put his head against Jim’s, there was an earth-shattering kaboom and they woke up several seconds later.
I have one of the Norinco Chinese copies of the Colt 1878 hammered coach gun. One is depicted in the article linked to the photo. Surprisingly, the stock and forearm are actual black walnut. I had to hone the chambers so the shells would fall out easily for cowboy action shooting; it doesn’t have ejectors as one can’t have them on CAS double guns.
I’ll bet Jeff is old enough to have carried a coach gun for Brinks.
Might have even driven the stage coach!
