Here are the 1:6 Weekend Warriors about to wrap up their training. The
soldier who performed the best on the marksmanship course gets the honor
this weekend - he gets to fire the practice TOW round!
First ... a meeting to setup the firing solution. |
|
Security is tight!
"Stop! No pictures!" "Ah shucks corporal ... your picture will appear in Stars and Five Star Bars!" "Really ..... ok .... how is this pose?" |
|
"All right Lieutenant ... let's calculate this correctly THIS TIME!
Last month, you messed up the coordinates so bad we wound up blowing
up a little old ladies outhouse!"
"But Captain! It wasn't MY FAULT! Private Screwup sneezed and screwed up the laser sighting!" |
|
The command and control person receives the coordinates for the firing and relays them to this month's lucky candidate - PFC Crosseyes. | |
PFC Crosseyes readies the TOW and fires the missile! | |
Oops. There went that old lady's outhouse ... AGAIN!
Quick ... stow the gear and let's get out of here! (Wonder what we will get to shoot at next month?) |
