[@johnkacin1500]

My dad told me that when firing your weapon...That you had to take into account.. Wind,distance,and the rotation of the earth. That seems like alot to take in..Then i watched a History Channel video of an army sniper taking out a mortar team..and i thought "Oh that makes sense now". There is so much to take in👍

I laughed my butt off even thought in a project they may take down wall down to expand an existing room as long as the bearing points are intact it passes code. but for the sake of the movie the focus here was him releasing his rage to keep honest at bay when his is not operating. and it vaguely shows what a boss would like. So I would not fire him I would just give him bonus and make him sign a waiver lol

[@eF_cz]

Oh Kurt, thinking that construction is a monotoneous growing process shows how little you know about construction.😄 Otherwise, scenes like this one always bring Rocco from Boondock Saints to my head. You know "Hard men, doing hard s*it...".

You didn't like it nor give it away, I didn't buy in at the time but it kept coming up in different forms of advertising. I'll pass, that alone made viewing worth while. I haven't finished the show yet. Wondering if there will be another insight this valuable! Thanks team!

In my couple of months experience working construction in Alaska (before moving to take care of my ailing father), the climate was way more toxic than the military was. I think that's all they were aiming at showing is that the new guys get ragged on a lot, which is normal, but that these guys were taking it too far.
