There are DOD ID numbers, but they've updated the forms to just ask for both.

I will say that I take issue with the fact that several of the more popular trails/areas where permits are issued by lottery. Recreation.gov charges a $10 lottery fee, which you pa…

Navy or Marines?

Oh there will be plenty of beers consumed to balance out all the sport.

That makes sense, but is there a way to quantify that? I've always had the notion that something like a roadside sobriety test is rather subjective. I know that if I were in the si…

Big Sur is great, and quite a fun drive. There is also the Marin Headlands and Muir woods north of San Francisco

As nice as it would be to have a reliable nonlethal alternative to firearms, there simply are no nonlethal weapons capable of stopping someone who is presenting an immediate threat…
