Weapons Training

As part of my role in Afghanistan, I will be working "outside the wire" (off the base where I will live).  Because I will be outside the wire, I am required to obtain weapons qualifications in a 9mm pistol and M4 rifle.  On Tuesday I was able to obtain an expert qualification in the 9mm (which is the easier of the two weapons quals).  Posted below are some pictures of me at the range.

Did I mention that the temperature was about 35 degrees with the windchill.  I will shoot the M4 next week.  For now I am learning to drive the M1151A1 HMMWV or Humvee.  Pictures to follow.

Best,
Ben
