While I was gone...

I spent 2 weeks at Mountain Warfare Training Center, Bridgeport CA for our annual training exercise.

Yes it snows in California, and yes it snows in June...

Lazy Boy Pass, heading to Hawthorne Army Base


Start of our 4mi, 1500ft elevation change hike


About half way up


That hill hurt


Move and shoot range, we followed this with the M1014 Benelli and M9 Beretta

Nice country there. Thank you for your time for country.
Some people are like Slinkies. Not really good for anything, but they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down a flight of stairs
