Camp Perry Shooting

[Ham_Chu]

...those weren't M60's but M249 SAWs...and blanks nonetheless.

(they let the M60's go about 15 years ago and replaced them with the Belgian MAG...known now as M240)

The Air National Guard (who's heard of THAT?!?) looks to be either preparring for a deployment or their annual training (I couldn't see them schedule THAT during this time frame...but.....)

[WARFAB]

They've never done it the past 7 years I've been there, so probably not annual training?

oh...and this was my take from Camp Perry 2018... 20180805_210841.jpg

nice score ..
earned, of course ..!
the Pink fits a Ranger well, is that you ..?

[Ham_Chu]

...a long time ago. But Ranger? No. Just a retired Reserve Officer.

This year was a radical departure on the T-Shirts. Esp. the pink on black. Usually they comprise the four colors of the BDU uniform.

I have spent quite a fair amount of time at Benning ..
Camp Rodgers, and Camp Darby, and over the border to Georgia for the Mountain Div

A few pics from my bivouac at Port Clinton (since there wasn't any room at the inn for me).

Believe it or not, I had the whole place to myself! (Until the 8 car loads of Spanish-speaking folks showed up for a fiesta Saturday night.)




Camp set up:






Go to bed looking at this:




Wake up to this:

That campsite looks pretty awesome.

That campsite looks pretty awesome.

It was! And it's only a 1/4 mile down the road from White Caps.

[Ham_Chu]

How many times did the cops make you move?

[thughes]

0:37, 2:44 That's our guy! Hey Charlie, is Springfield paying you a royalty for your appearance? Damn, Vinnybob too! Go Black Coyotes!

That's a pretty cool video to be a part of. We might have to start calling Jester "Hollywood" after those offhand glamor shots.
