We old guys don't need no steenking pop-up targets! We do it with old fashioned time-on-target. Make big freeking bang for all to hear!! (even the deaf cannon-cockers)

Oh, c'mon Dave, you know that deep down in their gut, the flyboys want to get outta a their A/C'd huts/tents/barracks and get "down n dirty" with us mud-slingers. You know, get a whirly-bird or T-Bolt pilot to spot for us, drop his ord's, land, and come join the fun.

Steel Rain baby, Steel Rain.

I guess there is none. Meanwhile, some barbecue photos:


Of course, chai must be consumed at every get-together, insuring that you'll already be awake for the 0300 mission brief:

This guy isn't quite 60 yet, but as you might guess from his shirt, his presence does me make only the second oldest guy on the team.

Team as in "THE TEAMS"? as in team 6?
