OldAFSarg from - Chant du Départ A Rerun From Ten Years Ago. (The AF in OldAFSarge stands for Air Force, not As F-.)
On the Security Augmentation Force (SAF), most of us carried the German G3. In the picture above, it's the one in the foreground, with the wooden stock. This rifle weighs in the neighborhood of 10 pounds. However, the longer you have to carry one, the heavier it gets.

Better still, mikeroweWORKS has partnered with the Englestad Foundation, to award between 50 and 100 full ride, work ethic scholarships to Western High graduates – at least $4.5 million in total.
Pixy Misa at Ambient Irony - Daily News Stuff 28 February 2024: Squirrel Voldemort Edition
AIs serve up garbage answers to every single question regarding voting and elections except for the one that confirms our personal biases. (Tech Crunch)This appears to have generally been the case across the board. The only question they all got right pertained to the 2020 election being "stolen,” a question that universally produced accurate answers (and as such suggests special tuning on related queries)."They're feeding you propaganda.
