dartonman Posted September 8, 2008 Report Share Posted September 8, 2008 I own a portable paintball company, where I can bring guns (20) and all gear just about anywhere. I was asked by a small group of Army Drill Sergeants to provide gear for them, while they do urban assault training in an abandoned office building with the local Rockford Police. Taliban (rockford cops total 4) Army personel (22). I had a blast being a Taliban. I hid laying down, in the dark, and when the group of 8 came in to sweep the room, they sure wish they didn't get my room...I shot em all from a laying down position. They really had fun with the training, and they will be taking back some tactics and lessons learned to their next recruits they train for Iraq. I think the training and execution of expecting the unexpected really helped, and if they can make better soldiers out of the lessons learned, then it was worth the all day dirt and paintballs. Just wanted to share with everyone my fun day, and God Bless America, and our troops.................al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texastrophies Posted September 8, 2008 Report Share Posted September 8, 2008 Sounds like an exciting time, Al. Not only that, hopefully you were able to help save some of our soldiers lifes. That should make you feel pretty good. I have been wondering how your business is doing? Staying busy? Hope so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
