Patriots’ Day Pictures
Warning - 56k death! :)
Mike explains dispersion. Or, sings “I Believe I Can Fly” - you decide.
I demonstrate my new SERE tactic - “Look innocent and adorable.”
My hand freaks me out in this picture. I look like I have a hand like those people with the “lobster child” deformity. It took me a while to figure out that I have my index finger extended parallel to my barrel - so while it looks like the handguard is between my freak index and middle fingers, it’s really in a “C” between my thumb and middle finger and resting on my index finger. If that makes any sense. I invested time in explaining that because it really disturbed me.
I should make an animated .GIF out of the freak hand one and this one. It would be so annoying.
Lessons learned about fireteam rushes:
1) Hills suck.
2) Fall down the right way, or one of your legs will be unusable the next day.
3) 37 degrees is the perfect temperature.

Whaddya think… Christmas card ‘08?
That definitly would make a great card! And you are a topic of discussion at subguns:

Oh, heh - hello, denizens of subguns! I always feel weird popping in on forums I don’t usually frequent just because I’m mentioned… So, rather, please pass along my regards.
And, for the record - of course I’d love to play with NFA toys! ;)
Great way to spend a day, but the mismatch *sportssuit* of BDU top and MARPAT trou is a fashion faux pas. Easy cure: get a top to match the pants, and a pair of pants to match the top.
Nice little rifle, too. But it needs an M203….
Good eye, almost! That’s actually a Gore-Tex, not a BDU blouse. ;) I have access to plenty of MARPAT blouses and trousers (desert and woodland), as well as old USMC woodland - but we’re actually going with a different pattern for the official PSOL gear, so this was a temporary set-up.
To be honest, I was mostly trying to stay warm, this go-round. ;)
What you really should be pointing out is my entirely inappropriate jungle boots! But, never fear: The coyote deuce gear will be getting worked over, I’ll be investing in a good pair of solid combat boots, and hopefully by next muster shall have brand-spankin’-new, matching BDUs. The pattern choice is a secret for now.
if and when i’m coming over, i shall be offended if i’m not at some point wearing that getup.
grammatically, thats a right bollocks, but it gets mah point across.
