thought I'd like to share for some of you out there in the MID-A

I'm in the Navy having to relearn everything with the Army in Camp Shelby, MS

Zero Range was fun, but those damn pop up targets (day-qual)in the field was harder that i thought.. I scored only 26/40, but still qualified.

cheers! see ya all before i head out to Iraq to help the Army

 

Good luck in Iraq, my friend. Be safe. Make sure you have lots of rifle cleaning gear and CLP standing by, because the M16 is a POS once it gets a little dirty. (former Marine knows!)

 

Good luck over there. Be safe

 

take it easy over there and dont get too f'd up

u can lose an ear or eye, but dont lose your foot because then whos going to drive your car?!

oh wait.. theres always me

 

When you get over there, get an AK-74 with a collapsable stock, That will take the beating.

 

Good luck to ya over there.

 

good luck man, hit me up when u come back up before iraq

 

Be alert, be safe, and do whats right. Thank you for serving my Z brother!

Yeah its hot as shizzil. Ryan and I were both over there as contractors and what you wont read about in the papers is that many soldier died from being cooked from the inside out. 140 is bad enough, then throw on gear and armor, now you are a walking microwave. Stay in the shade, drink lots of water.....also, NEVER go directly to sleep after being out in the heat more than 8 hours my friend.

good luck!

 

Good luck !!

"The M16 is a POS......get a AK-74" ????

 

Camp Shelby huh? My dad used to run the YCP program down there, is it still going on??

We lived about 5 minutes from there, and I was recently at Keesler AFB down in Biloxi for about 7 months.

Be safe in Iraq, and if you see COL Basinger over there, say hi!

EDIT: Will you be wearing the DCU's, or will they be issuing you ACU's?

 

Well there's your first problem....THAT'S NOT AN M-16!!!!

I qual'd 38/40 in BT, that was in '91, but I still shoot AR's at least once a month (even though I got out of the Army in '97). Yes, those pop-ups are a biatch, particularly the 300M target that's up for what 6 seconds?

Be safe over there and come home safe.

 

good luck hans, did the cd key worked? talk to u later man.

 

I haven't qualified since like 2005. haha I just got back from Iraq in February.

I hate the M-16 because it malfunctions too much for my liking. If you fire enough rounds it'll eventually just lock up from all the carbon build-up, and it doesn't take as long as you'd expect.

 

thanks ya'll.

doing convoy and ied training now.. this stuff is starting to get to me..

things out there are real, and can blow us up..

i'll try to get more pics out there.. detainee ops,HMMVEES and OC spray

 

Yo man good luck out there all us guys here who are prior service
feel your pain!!!!!!! I got out in '99 and what do you know a few years later.......again good luck and stay safe shipwreck!

 

The AK it ain't, but the key to the performance and longevity of any weapon is proper maintenance. Fortunately, the M16 is a piece o' cake to clean.

As an avid sport shooter, I keep a collection. I don't think I've ever had a mis-feed in either of these AR's in thousands of rounds.

 

Note to self..... NEVER **** off Kelly.

 

LOL...Hey, I'm as passive as they come, honest.

 

Dude. If Zombies ever start to take over the world.. safe bet Kellys house is where you'd find me
