Boom...

It's been a busy couple of days. Yesterday I got to go out and help with a controlled detonation. Once a month or so the EOD guys (Explosive Ordnance Disposal, basically military bomb squad) goes outside the base and blows up all of the explosives and weapons that have been found or recovered during the past month. That's pretty much the only way to get rid of all of it.

It was pretty cool. The not so cool part was having to carry hundreds of heavy projectiles and other crap that we've collected and carry it from the trailers over to the blast pit. All this while wearing our 50-60 lbs of body armor. Needless to say I got a good workout that day!

Once that grunt work was done, we got back in the trucks and drove back about 300 ft or so and watched the show. I took some video of it from the front seat of our vehicle. The video doesn't do it justice, but it still looks pretty cool.

That's all for now...
