Proof that Chuck really did report to Fort Leavenworth and isn't AWOL on a beach somewhere...
Chuck, Carren and the kids came to Castle Argghhh! yesterday. SWWBO got up at 4AM to start the brisket smoking and to make a Castle Cake for Carren's 21+N birthday.
Which was celebrated in a typical (well, it *should* be typical) Gun/Milblogger fashion...
The Castle Technical gave its first rides to Chuck's "Dismounts" and Carren and the Dismounts got reblued on Basic Cavalry - click here for Chuck's AAR on the topic.
Here we see Chuck working on Carren's shooting skillz with the AMD-65. There were some interesting foibles to Carren's shooting style.
But as important as it is to make sure the current adult generation is capable of hitting what they aim at in defense of realm and demesne, it is also very important to teach the younger generation, boy...
and girl!
Anybody else notice how Chuck's shooting style is so very... arab? Oh, wait - no, he is kinda sorta aiming!

And, of course, you have to have some fun yourself. If you are at work, turn your sound down - naughty lyrics alert!
Though there are some workplaces where the lyrics would be applauded as edgy and a cool blow against da man, while the *video* would be the issue.

Was it really that cool, that everyone is in longsleeves? That's not been necessary around my neck of the woods for month. Indeed, one would likely have to be insane to dress like that around here this summer!
Seattle lost their weather and we found it.
Come on up and we'll teach you to shoot.
Attila - and associated costs with the AGM-65 seem a bit steep.
My best friend's dad, who is a retired LTC, will be up your way for a while on business In November, I pretty sure at the Fort (given his current job), and I'm checking into whether he'd like a virtual intro to you and Chuck. He's a Vietnam vet, but I only knew him once he was an officer at the Field Station in A-burg.
Hey, we're a plane ride away...
I'll vouch for the fun of visiting the Castle. I'm glad you all had fun :-)
Y'know, being polite and all.
Being right handed but left eye dominant, yeah, I can understand doing that. Not recommended, but it is a lot easier than unlearning 21+N years of habit of using yoru left eye.
"I'll vouch for the fun of visiting the Castle."
Fun? All I ever get is work. ;) Speaking of which: does the Technical need grunt labor to make Her stable all nice and weather proof?
I'll do my best to make it to The Castle some day. Right now, I'd be more interested in the horses than the firearms, since I have prior knowledge of the former, and miss it very much, and the only experience I have with the later is my brother's Tin Can Alley from when we were kids, my best friend showing me the rifle her dad gave her (issues with taking it back to Germany for a while), and then carrying my future BIL's empty rifle into their apartment together a while back (my sister said I looked like Annie Oakley... one rifle in a carry case on my shoulder, and the other, not in a case, muzzle down, held just in front of the trigger/trigger guard...My sister won't touch them...)
Dusty has threatened that his flight sked may allow for a jumpseat to KCI sometime later this month.
