Packing Up for the Live Fire Shoot House
I got together my field gear and extra equipment for the Live Fire Shoot House training that starts tomorrow. I've got my new helmet and Kevlar Vest and several different options for gloves and eye protection. It turns out we are the first class through this new training facility. I report at 0800. They are issuing us ceramic insert plates for our body armor. It should be exciting.
And I will be bringing an electronic camera to this and future training. So Iwill have pictures from the event--not the internet stuff I usually use.
