Fun time was had by all.

I took lots of pictures but I was having major problems with one of my lenses so only 10% or so came out.

Overall and awesome show. Here are a few pics my wife took.

maybe not where YOU are [Twist]

My photographer buddy was there doing what he does. I'll post pics when he uploads em.

You know, after seeing those pics, Im ready to go back in! If the COARNG had HIMARS or Paladins instead of the crappy 14 year old MLRS in 2005, I might have finished my 20!

Thank you guys for the outstanding pics. Those were great, and really makes me wish I was able to go.
