Here's some of my pictures and videos from School of Infantry, the SMAW range, the breaching range, and the demo range.

The SMAWs before the shoot.

The after math of the oval charge.

Shooting the SMAW is cool, but nothing compares to breaching. I don't have the video but standing in the stack when the concrete charge goes off feels like getting kicked in the chest it's crazy. I've got a few more pictures but those are the good ones for the most part.

Looks like someone had fun . . . I'm an '11 with K Co, 3/23 (reserves) , all they let me use to blow doors is a frag or my boots. But hey, they work. Awesome pics and vid!

Semper Fi, PFC. Where are you headed in the fleet?

K Co 3/4. 29 Stumps. It's not too bad, I've been here about 2 months. I do miss Geiger's/Lejuene's trees though.

I hear ya . . . enjoy the Bull, I've known a few guys who spent time there. Probably my best friend in the Corps is a SMAW gunner, for some reason he loves it. Enjoy the Kalifornia air . . . I spent a few weeks in Bridgeport doing Mountain Warfare School, it was good stuff.
