Hey it's a young Newt Gingrich!
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

We had 80 today too.

I carry my camelback wherever I go.

Thankfully we don't have any ranges until Thursday.
A couple of days in tha shade. (Today and tomorrow)

By the way, this old dog is shooting targets a 1200m. TWELVE fucking HUNDRED meters.
Static targets, granted, but fuck man, mindblowing.

Keep in mind that I had never EVER before trained to engage targets beyond 300m.
Beyond that there is no tactical value for the kind of missions I am ussually ordered to acomplish.

My longest shot in Iraq was 175m.
My longest shot in Southern Lebanon was 280m.
My longest shot in Afrikaa was 250m.

I have engaged targets up to 500m, but it have been surpresing fire from vehicle mounted weapons (M2 .50 cal and M240 7.62mm MGs).  I don't really know the effect my fire had on those dudes at that range. Not that I want to know.

Anyway, the training I have been getting lately, is mindblowing.
1200m, dude. 1200m. Center mass, one shot one kill.

Siege looks like a sad puppy in his portrait photo.

I deleted my name on my name tag in the last picture, of course.

Why? You already blurted it out before.

Why are there always random pictures of Siege in random threads?

Yeah, I saw it as a kid when it first debuted on TV all those many years ago.  Hasn't aged too well.

Ugh, The Day After...such a monumental television event, we actually had planned discussions in school the next day.  Too bad it was such a crappy film.  The only thing I remember about that movie was that Kansas City was nuked, and thinking, "well, that's really gonna fuck up the Chiefs' schedule".

Yeah I think everybody of our age had somekind of school based discussion after that flick.

I'm not sure how you got "post pictures of myself with military crap" out of "Countdown to looking glass" Siegy.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Seige is something of a narcissist, I think. ^_^
