Here is me shooting at the 9 mill range from twenty five meters. Great picture because one can see the shell casing being ejected from the magazine. The strange looking attachment on my shoulder part of the body armour (battle rattle) we wear.
We went to the 9mm pistol qualification. Unfortunately, the video clip was too big to load. As we can see the range is rigorously monitored by instructors. It is quite funny to hear the comments about the range. One is "we are so close to the target at 3 meters that we will go to jail even if the target is an enemy combatatnt. Therefore three rounds will have to be expended. One for the Taliban and one each for the CNN newsman and cameraman." After all, who wants to go to Gitmo?

ReplyDeleteThis is a great blog--I look forward to keeping up with your Afghanistan Vacation 09. You look good in cammies--reminds me of our trip to Quantico in the summer of 87. 8 months will fly by--be safe--as I told Dengler when he went to Iraq--you are already a hero so don't be John Wayne over there- do what you have to do and get back safe to your family.
God Bless,

Is this a professional picture? It is amazing with the shell casing and all. Wow. Be careful! xoxo
ReplyDeleteHey franny hope everything is going well. Tuzy and Claude send their love. Be careful
ReplyDeleteWow.. We've got an expert sharpshooter in the family. My only experience with target shooting was picking off my neighbors cats with my wrist-rocket but it is still on when you get back:) Good to read that you are doing well. We are all counting down the days until we meet up again for your Vegas return party! Stay safe and alert. God Bless and Love, Charlie,Maggy and Leah.
