My youngest son in Basic training at Fort Benning, GA. I think they are doing a better job with him than I did.
I will be at Fort Benning on May 7th for his graduation.
In full Battle Rattle. Hit 36 out of 40 on the Range.

Correct -- by fastening it the helmet, it leaves both hands free, and gives you night vision all the time -- as opposed to just night vision scope on your weapon, or night vision binocs...

Had a great time in Georgia. Thought I would share a few bits and pieces of the Graduation in this Video.
