The worst weather (if it can be called that) that I was ever in was 135 degrees and 8% humidity at al-Udeid, Qatar. I worked swing shifts while there, and at the start of the shift at 1400 it would be 120-130 degrees, and by 2330 we'd be freezing because it went down to 95. :rolleyes:

After my last qualification round, I did some situational shooting (center mass and head shots - the latter only in case someone's firing at you but behind an obstacle). The four shots into the chin of the target was my exact clue to the flaw I then identified with the Glock (part of my support hand against the square trigger guard pulling shots down).

Very Cool!! I have also found that one can ask in the SC for more drink coupons. :)

This is the thought process I think about in connection with kids: Do I want to travel or have kids?

:D Pay backs are a b!tch. Someone must have moved from the RTW reward desk and saw your account ripe for playing with.

(I'm joking of course)

You landed four in the chin that I'm guessing were intended for the forehead? From how far out?

I suspected you were a mole. :p

Hmmmm....nap, shower, or mess around with Wii yoga? I vote for all three in that order.

Was doing situational from 7 yards - we've talked about it being a bad habit that resulted in me consistently being inches off intended target. And you aim just below forehead, as the forehead apparently creates a ricochet risk with small arms (who knew).

I still need to figure out how to route a MR through SFO to see the mole in native habitat.
