Many years ago.

So what, people die.

The day you die, is gonna be the end of the world, for you.

So, what does it matter?

What's "88 minutes"?

What is it about? End of the world?

I remember seeing part of this as a kid.  But that was a long time ago.  Like when it came out.  When ever that was.

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.

Raz, my buddy in the center, is black.

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".


"If you'd like to learn more about the arms race and nuclear holocaust, stop by your local library!"

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

I've seen that and 88 Minutes and The Day After.  Day After was typical 80's era Big Event tv-movie.  Pack a whole lotta B stars into it and set it on fire deal.  But it was just so topical that everyone had to pretend to like it.  Steve Guttenberg becoming some sort of mad dog killer was the only part worth watching.

Something I've wondered with those new pixelated uniforms: are the velcro thingies everywhere really practical? I mean once you get them dirty and mud or sand sticks in them?
