Shooting range in Afghanistan on July 4th, 2009

I chose to practice shooting the M-240 machine gun while standing up. This short clip was captured by one of my U.S. Air Force teammates at a shooting range in Afghanistan during my deployment from May 2009 to end of April 2010. I served as a member of an Embedded Training Team (ETT) and was tasked with mentoring the Afghan National Army (ANA). This is my fourth and final Middle East deployment. For more information about this visit to the shooting range, read my blog post http://afghanistanmylasttour.com/2010/01/01/happy-new-year/ and http://afghanistanmylasttour.com/2009/07/04/4th-of-july-in-the-combat-zone/
