A little shooting today

Well today was one of the nicest days I have had since I've been here. I got up this morning and headed over to the range. I shot about 800 rounds all by myself. The group I'm with doesn't like to shoot so much except for Bob and he had just got a couple of detainees he had to deal with.

So I just took my time and worked on some of my fundamentals. It's only a 30 meter range so in order for me to practice any distance shooting I have to shoot at small stuff. Thats one of the nice things about being in a war zone you pretty much have all of the ammo you can shoot. I wil post some pictures of some of the casualties of todays battle.

The 29th has come and gone along with it being Mom's Bday it was Micca's and my 2 month anniversary. So it's official now. I have been gone more than I have been home since we have been married. It so hard to be away. I will spare everyone the sorrowful story but things are made a little easier with the internet. My favorite part of the day is when I head into the office and I get to read the comments or emails that people send me. We don't get mail very often, in fact I think we have got mail 3 times since we have been here. We really are off the beaten path when it comes to convoys and air travel and with the poor weather it makes those convoys and air travel all that more sparse. The weather has been good the last 36 hours so I'm hoping to get some mail soon. If not the occasional emails will have to do for now.

Brent--Great pix! One question? Was that a "low sodium" V-8? We just had a discussion on V-8 last night at VFW. Take care of U. J
