More Pictures

here is a picture of some our our soldiers shooting a 120mm Mortar out of a stryker
This is where we do a lot of our training
waiting on the mortars to show up like usual. Here is a picture of me grabbing some chow before the MTRs show up for the live fire.
here is a picture of what we sleep in when were in the field. Notice the jerry can (tan thing) turned upside down...that actually supplies fuel for the heater inside the tent. Even when its -50 outside the heater inside will keep it nice and toasty.
breaking down the shanty. Notice my two little fish...one is an arctic char and the other is a rainbow trout. I know they're small but fish and game encourage catch and keep in some of the lakes due to low oxygen levels during the late ice.
never thought I would see my truck parked behind a no wake zone sign
just to give yall an idea on how people ice fish up here. These are personal permanent shanty's and some people go to town on the inside. I mean they have wooden floors, posters on the walls etc.
Shanty time. Inside you can get away with wearing a t-shirt as long as the heater is roaring. Believe it or not it was -20 outside!
Yeah thats right....my truck is on a frozen lake! Here is a picture of our first ice fishing trip up here in Alaska. Unfortunately, the ice auger broke after I drilled the first hole so our trip was cut short but we still had a good time.
