    I always like watching things go boom, and live fire exercises are always good... but you're probably right, especially since no real Taliban are dying this time around

    Got a call in to see if there's any restriction on photography. Seems to me that it'd a pretty common question that should have been answered on the news page. I'll tell y'all what I find out.

    Cool.

    I ran tower ops and range control for one of these events on Ft. Hood back in '84. F16's, A-10's, F-4 Phantom's, F-15's, M1 Abrams, M2 & M3 Bradley's, AH1's, AH-64's (still a prototype), M107's.

    It rocked in SO many ways. When a couple of 1,000 pounders went boom, once the concussion wave hit our tower, I thought the tower was going to fall. But the GP Medium tent next to the tower did collapse.

    Wish I was going to be in town.

    LOL. I had that kind of day today.

    My family is going to be in town for my promotion and I think they will get a kick out of it.

    If I get some insider information, I will pass it along.
