Well, brother, how is it out there in campland? We Air Force types were always a little circumspect about hand held weapons. If it's less than 1000 lbs or can't fly more than mach .5, what good is it?
In all seriousness, we also had to 'qualify' once a year with the M1911 (a type of pistol; it has a trigger and bullets come out of this tube in the thing) and M16A1. I actually enjoyed it. Even though the %%^#*^ M16A1 ALWAYS jammed and really needed that forward assist next to the bolt carrier. What can you expect when you allow General Motors to make weapons?
I always thought those guys in the range towers were commedians and DJs in training. They seemed to have a thing for talking up steak and eggs for breakfast. Never saw that on an Army base. Nor an Air Force base. Our restaurants had fiber rich granola and healthy smoothies. That's why we were sooooo 'regular' (There is little you can do in a flight suit on a 12 hour mission).
And yes, Jackie's avatar makes wood stiff.
You take care and make the best of it. Ya, hear, boy?
