Local radio website picture of the week

Where did the 80 knots come from?

I thought the casting goal was 10 and 10?

It's an Army PAO shot from 10th SFG(A)'s recent Emerald Warrior 11 participation. It actually made the AKO "cool guy" photo on the intro page a couple of months ago.

A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear.

Dogs are great on the OBJ.. Outside of the "bomb Dogs". Locals hate them and they work very well.
