Yep, doing well. She has good things to say about your outfit.

Got to chat a bit tonite with the little hard ass. Al Qaeda teams been hitting the FOB's hourly today-tonite. Little effect aginst the SOCOM teams. But still a pain in the ass. Not much I can do from here. But I sai what I could and came to mind. "Soldiers do things that other people "CAN'T" and "WON'T"... That's why it's called service. Love you, little one. Do great things, be safe, good hunting. It's patriot's day. Remember why soldiers do what we do. I'm more proud of you than words can say, g'nite love."

Joey, Best of luck to you. There was alot of times that I had wished I was in the Corps sniper program and not the Army

That was less than pleasant to watch.

Yep, my fault.... Couple baby pics.

Since I got a couple PM's from you guys & Soldiers LOVE Mail here's her APO address: Nicole Persing Unit 3-C APO AE 09354

Ditto on that. The blasst my be a lil bike but is worth more. You may find yourself in a posssion to trade in and why bone yourself?

I jacked it off line. lol, sstill the aircraft... Never jumped that one..

Thanks for the support and words, guys. Update: wheels up out of Kazakhstan.

She landed in Kazakhstan in the staging area today and gearing up to move again. I'm aweful certain it's all my fault, me at her age: Lil shit is 5th generation Army, 2nd Gen Special Ops. Grew up around Paratroopers, Rangers, Snipers, Green Berets and later SWAT guys. Probably why she can drink like a fish and swears 'nuff to make a sailor blush. The character trait that I'm most prowd of is she understands WHY to fight, not just the how part...

Thanks for the kind swords, guys When she joined she wanted PSYOPs (one of the 2 Spec Ops MOS's females can hold) but the active duty was not taking green privates & got slotted as MI in a leg unit. She wanted to Jump bad so I called Bragg and got some old contacts rolling for her. Special Ops Recruting Batt (SORB) found her in MI school "moved" her tp 3rd SF before she knew what she was getting into ( I DID warn her!). But as she got more involved with the unit, the commando type forces, the mission and ATTITUDE of SpecOps she was hooked and got even more hard core. She is supposed to be at HQ-HHC S2 shop as inell, but she volenteered and train on the FET's Spec Ops Needs a Few Good Women but she did conferm that there is a load of shooting and blowing up stuff in the training for a NON-Combatant role. She Freaking Loves it.

Mil relation don't run on batteries! But there are alot of cheater lazers out there that do well, but never seen one that is a "never fail" rig. Math is your friend in range finding.

Kid went "wheels up" to Afganistan today with 3rd Special Forces. She's 19, a PFC E-3 with one year in. Prowd & scared but more the former. Talked to her alot last couple days, admin sh*t, when are we getting her car, bank account info, the old Yamaha got sta-bil in it and on trickle charge, cell phone suspention, blah blah blah... I was all business with her on the phone, just said good buy like I allways do sive she joined up, "Love ya, Kiddo. Be safe".... I hit one last post on her facebook page a little while ago... "It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great ...enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat." Theodore Roosevelt Me to her: Be safe, do the job, pay attention to the little things, action beats inaction... all I got kiddo. You got the ball. Good Hunting. Been on the other side of this more times than I care to remember. Little different this time. Every formerly broken bone in my body wants to take her place. But I have been there and done that. Probably why I'm taking it hard. Questioning myself if I gave her enough along the way. I can probably look at her and know the answer to that, but not at the moment.

Hugo, Just south of us is good technical rides on SR170 and SR7 in places. Not sure how far out you are from us, but we did see you at Brians fund raiser ride.

So what's the status on the build?

I just spent hours playing it work.... Damn!

Go tell it on the mountian. Looking Great.

I'd love to but will be stuck in a black Crown Vic 3 to 11.

Damn, Just now found the post. Was working 3 to 11 last nite and tonite too anyway. Great route. Wife and I take 170 south alot. Good road especially when you get south of Mahoning county. Last time our bikes and us ended up in WV cause we did'nt wanna stop riding. If you guys wanna plan a sunday ride at least a few days in advance we'd try to be in.

They are in the inventory but rarely fielded. As HOT as 10mm is it's still a pistol round. The M4's are fielded more. Lotta bag guys are wearing armor now days and it takes a rifle to punch it. Most Of the FeeB guys were using .223 Hornady TAP as long as 4 Years back. Big balistic downside of 10mm IS SPEED vs tissue dispalcement on a subject target. Knock Down Factor vs Ft Lbs Energy. The 10 is just too damn fast for a pistol and too slow for a rifle. (see the .30 Carbine) It just dont "slam" hard as a HOT 9mm or BRICK of the .45. Why the Feds when they ran it downloaded them to .40 S&W specs. On paper it was the next "new" thing. In the field it was less damage on target and more recoil. A great idea that just did not work in combat. Bummer, cause I wass an early fan back in the day when Don Johnson had the Bren Ten...
