Shooting Competition

Well, today was the Pistol and Rifle shoot, using Latvian weapons. John did real well in the Pistol shoot, not as well as he was hoping in the Rifle shoot. Their team is not where they wanted to be after today, but they are still in an okay spot to go on for the next events. Our other team did well, I am not quite sure where they are after today, but I think they are doing really well.

Here are some great pics from today. And I have to say, I do agree with Kim and Paula who say that John is my own "Marlboro Man."

Let me know what the rest of you think? ha

I am trying to add more pictures to this page and will continue until I have to leave to go to a team meeting. However, don't forget, all pictures can be found on the smugmug site. I just have to download them each night while I am sleeping. I am trying not to bore everyone with too many pics. here.

It has already had a lot thrown in this trip besides the sporting competition. After the Opening Ceremonies last night, we were escorted by police to supper, then back to a reception where delegates and big wigs from all the NATO countries were mingling and discussing all kinds of stuff. My eyes started glazing over. But it was wonderful to see the respect these guys get from everybody. The other countries really seem to like the US team, and even the US delegates want to speak to our guys. They like to hear all about the military training that goes into training for this event.
