Do some research, Lou. Nothing wrong with being exposed to the military experience at his age, just check out the programs offered by the other branches.

Great pics, Lou.
There was a DC-3/C-47 flying around my area this morning.

Lou, that's one anemic machine gun your boy's triggering. All of 'em I ever fired hammered your eardrums without some decent ear protection. Shook you a bit, too.
I'm so old I've flown on a DC3 still in commercial service. Good chance that plane's older than I am.

Moldy, the DC3 is so reliable it was the aircraft of choice for drug runners for years.

Very cool! I'm not sure what direction Jaxen will go but everyone I know who is active and retired are solid leaders and great people. All y'all included.

yes Mike. These were real weapons that have been retired. This is a digital sim and there is an air actuator in the weapon to give a real feel. With the M4 it monitors your breathing, targeting and trigger pull. It is the training intro before you move to live fire. They can address issues you are having. They can put up any type of weather and situation on the screen. It wasn't as fun as the real thing but it was pretty cool.
