First of all, I want to mention a change I've made in the blog. Originally only "registered" users could leave comments. Well, I found out how to change that and now anyone can leave a comment. Please feel free to comment, I love reading them.
While we are "stuck" here at headquarters, we still want to maintain our hard earned warrior skills because, well, let's face it, around here you just never know when you might need it! So we decided to set up a regular trip to the shooting range. We went out last Monday, and have a "standing" appointment the first Saturday of each month. We break out our handguns (Baretta 9mm) and our rifles (M-16A2), tons and tons of ammo, and go out and have a good time. Being out here we're able to do a few things that aren't condoned while training back in the states. Mainly that involves shooting the M-16s on either 3 round burst setting, or, with the M-4 that's available, full auto. Good times.

Me at the range before shooting.
Shooting is fun!

David,
It might be fun, but we can't see the target. Are you just making holes, or are you a good shot???
Stay safe!!
Love ya,
Kathy
You are so handsome. I just want to squeeze your cheeks, kiss your lips and throw you against the wall. I KNOW you get that.
Hey cuz! Find some Marines, ditch the Beretta, and get a .45! Glad to see there is still a family member (even through marriage) in the fight. My sister, Maj Sheryl Neal, will be in Balad in May. She's a nurse and said to stop by if you get a chance, but not for a professional visit!
