In some of the most adverse conditions (AAR forthcoming) I've encountered at a 25m event, CodeFogey shined like a new diamond!

His planning skills, leadership, and professionalism were plain for all to see this weekend in Colorado Springs.  There was no doubt about him earning his Green Hat!

Congrats, Ken!  Thank you for stepping up to lead in Colorado!

They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.
Benjamin Franklin, 1775

"A free people ought not only to be armed, but disciplined; to which end a uniform and well-digested plan is requisite; and their safety and interest require that they should promote such manufactories as tend to render them independent of others for essential, particularly military, supplies."  George Washington 1790

"[T]o preserve liberty, it is essential that the whole body of the people always possess arms, and be taught alike, especially when young, how to use them…"

Thank you all for the kind words, but the truth is, I received the finest preparation, support and mentoring I could possibly ask for from my dSBs, Captain and Maximum Ordinate.

The instructors at the event made success possible, with extreme IAO in the difficult conditions.

I never doubted it for a second, Ken, and I'm thrilled to see you exceeded my expectations.  Colorado and the Southwest Region are the better for having you among our ranks, and wearing that Green hat.  Well done, sir, and I'm proud to know ya!

Congratulations! In spite of the weather and the shooter's diversity in age and shooting experience, you made running an event look easy. Not to mention having the National Coordinator as your dSB for your SBiT3  ;).

Personally I think it is a completely EPIC story that you got your green hat from the National Coordinator in gale force conditions.
