Gather round and yet shall hear, of a story of persistence. Jan started his journey at the 2-12 Ramseur boot camp. He persisted and worked for his rifleman patch. He also has been the resident Applecore at the Isaac Davis Memorial Range working even before the range opened. Well today I'm proud to say  he earned his patch 78 years young and still improving! Shades of Samuel Whittemore!

Mike you came soooooo close on your first event, I'm sure next time will be the charm!

The Shoot Boss asked all the instructors to prove their metal and all requalified in 105 heat index. Congratulations to Lori, Richard and Ben. Ben being the youngest also did it the hard way. Using a borrowed 10/22 takedown rifle, zip tied sling, loose sight mounts and still shoot the score! Of course the Shoot Boss wanting to prove his metal also shot the score in a 3 minute rapid fire.

Lost 30 lbs, now I can do the "seated-prone" position as they were calling it...



Success story of the day, Silverbullet!



All of the instructors re-qualified today...

Congrats Jan!

All the way from Ramseur (2-12!!!!)  to Tally!   Doesn't heat index of 105 qualify for infernoseed? :)

I want to see someone run that seated/prone position run a Garand...   O0

Y'all know I can go on about anything but right now all I can do is smile.

Congratulations Jan!

To the rest of the, "irregular mob" nice job upholding the honor of the program.

Congratulations Jan on a well deserved and hard journey for your patch.
Also a big thank you to all instructors who gave their fathers day weekend in very sunny, hot conditions to help make the event wonderful.

There is nothing like the Panhandle for perseverance in the heat.  I've only seen one other young gentleman in his teens achieve the rare "seated prone" in my 4 years; that is perfection if there ever was such a thing.

Congratulations on the fine work of promoting the Project and motivating Americans!  Huzzah!
