More Charlie videos!

Yet another way to teach students not to shoot unarmed civilians...

This poor shoot house instructor was posing as an unarmed happy go lucky "hey, what should I have for my morning coffee break, danish or cruller?" civilian guy. That is, until he got popped hard in the torso (those paint bullets hurt, Charlie has got the bruises to prove it) by a team of students for breathing in their training space. Now, usually retribution is more convoluted with the aforementioned punishment in the previous post, but this instructor chooses a more direct (and perhaps more effective?) punitive measure. Watch the instructor whip off the "hapless civilian" face and put on the "avenging angel of paint ball death" costume. Pretty funny...if you're not the guy getting the payback.

Charlie's home! With fun videos!

Charlie came home late late last night...Connor was so excited to see him he ended up having a 2 am party and had a hard time settling back to sleep. Charlie spent a few weeks down in Wyoming getting "Armyfied" -- learning how to clear rooms, shoot people, etc. Considering his enormous distaste for physical exertion and particularly dangerous exertion, he found some of the training enjoyable, like the shoot house. It's funny because there really is no conceivable reason he would ever be on a SWAT team type maneuver storming insurgent houses, but hey...you get to pretend you're a way bigger bad ass than you are in a no harm no foul situation. Well...almost. Charlie has got a couple impressive welts on his arm from the paint bullets. And the video below demonstrates the consequences of shooting unarmed civilians. No war crime tribunal, but pretty humiliating for this team that was made up of very senior enlisted people.
