AFTERMATH

August 15, 2011, 09:25:47 PM
If you weren't at Hinckley, this weekend - You surely missed out on a lot!
Every shoot is a great shoot, but some are especially great.
Often times a Shoot Boss has the honor of awarding a Rifleman Patch.
On occasion, they have the opportunity to grant an Orange Hat to an enthusiastic volunteer.
However, there are occasions which occur with frequency barely surpassing 'rare.'
On these occasions, which don't happen often enough, an IIT who's been with the program long enough to really know what they're about, becomes ready to move on to the next level.
It's the sort of event which swells Aftermath's tiny heart, to almost normal size.
When he's there to see a shooter make their mark, achieving a Rifleman's score on a now humbled AQT.  Watching as they continue on the journey - fighting their way through the various levels of IIT. 
Finally, he knows in his heart that she is ready for the Red Hat, and he is proud to hand it to her.

Ladies and gentlemen, please allow me to introduce you to:

Alice "BrassBucket" Levin
RWVA Instructor

Congratulations Alice, you've now come full circle, and you've earned it!
Now, let's put it to use! 


Aftermath


P.S.  Sorry Leland, I wish you were in country to be there, as I'm sure you would like to.  But Danit, I just couldn't stop her!  Chances are she'll have a Green Hat, as well, by the date of your return.  Stay alert!

Everything mentioned above, again from me!
Thanks for working for and taking that HAT.  Seriously glad to hear it!
What brings together men liberated from local and national limitations is also what keeps them apart. What pushes for greater rationality is also what nourishes the irrationality of hierarchical exploitation and repression.  What creates society's abstract power also creates its concrete unfreedom.
