This week has been a pretty interesting one. I’m posting a couple of pictures and video of some of the things that we did. We have a ton of down time. After viewing the pictures/videos you may say to yourself “wow, they sure goof off a lot”. This is a true statement. But we do so, in order to maintain our sanity.
One of the highlights of our army training this past week was the 9mm range. I have some great video of my friend CPT Clark as he goes through the 9mm range. Luckily I was able to qualify (at least a 16/30), as some people did not. I got a mildly respectable 21/30.

We had a BBQ on Friday. Wow! this army stuff is hard work.

This is one of 8 atomic bombs similar to those dropped on Japan during WWII. This one was never armed. The US had planned on dropping a few more then just the 2 that were actually dropped.


All these historic pictures were taken during our tour of a WWII museum down about 2 hrs away from Ft Hood. This was one of our work day. I know, lots of hard work going on down here.
