I wouldn't know anything about that disease in the military. You likely would have referred to me as a REMF, though I'm not sure if that term applies to ship board personnel. I was on the fire dept. but in between fires I cleaned a lot toilets.
I do know hunters with this aliment. Guys who need scopes to shoot at game they'll never be able to find even if they do drop it. Or have to have the latest Weatherby 300 mag. with a SS barrel and syn. stock... yadda, yadda, yadda. You drop a deer with a 300 w/220g and there usually not enough meat left to make it worth the effort to field dress it.
Best hunting rifle I ever owned was a Remmington 700 BDL 30-06 with a fixed 3X9 Leopold scope. No messing around with zoom, just sight it in once a week and you're good to go. IMO, a 30-06 is an all around good deer and elk rifle.
I had my FLL for a few years, never made any money at it and got tried of the paper work so I let it go. But it gave me the chance to buy a ton of weapons cheap. I tried a lot of different rifles, always went back to that 700 BDL.
