AIRBORNE

Always In Readiness By Overt Retraining Never Ending
As a Paratrooper in the 101st Airborne Division, 1960-64, this phrase was drilled into us.  I think I took "Basic First Aid" like 8 times in the 4 years I was in.
These days, the phrase best describes my range training, as I do tactical training on my home range:


How many of you could switch from right hand to left hand with your rifle, as you do a tactical range exercise? When I started, it took a long time between each shot before I could bring the “new eye” to bear on the target. Now, it is just 2nd nature.
Why be able to shoot with the left hand/eye when I am shooting alright with my right hand/eye? There is no guarantee that I would be able to see with my right in a firefight. A friend who is an Army Ranger once described having dirt thrown in his right eye by a richochet round in Iraq, and he had a hell of a time bringing his rifle to bear as a leftie.

On my "own time and dime".   Because of the affordability of its ammo, my weapon of choice is my Henry .22 Lever Action Carbine. And I have others to choose from.  These and more:

This is ridiculous.  If you haven't lately, take a look at MeWe dot Com.  I have been there for 3 years, and have had nothing but good experiences there.  No jail, no petty liberal crime analists. (<<Sp.?  YES, as is). It was alleged that a crime had been committed.  A trial was held and a jury of his peers determined the defendant to be innocent of all charges.  That is as "American Justice" as it gets?  And the Anti American, Anti-Constitution, Left wing of this country are upset about it, with the PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES saying that he wasn't satisfied with the verdict.  The President of this N...
