It is not unusual for even Regular Army to be placed on guard duty without ammo even on military bases.

I was placed on guard duty more than a few times in El Paso/ Ft. Bliss/ Biggs without any ammo. I guarded the space shuttle when it was there many times without any ammo. I was even placed on guard duty in Saudi with no ammo in the middle of Desert Shield/Storm.

Heck I was even placed on guard duty guarding the ammo dump....without any ammo!

It was always a laugh when the Sgt of the guard would read us our "Deadly Force Authorized" orders....since we did not have any ammo!

I suppose I could have clubed them bad guys with the weapon.....

Default Oshkosh 2011

Just returned from show with Alex and we had a blast! He is more motivated than ever to fly. Thanks to Jerry Lawlor for making us feel welcome, especially since I'm a mom, not a dad.

Here are my shots from the show, including the 787 Experimental interior for those who didn't want to wait 3 hours

Default Crew car in Salina KS

I think we win the biggest P.O.S. crew car contest.

Stayed overnight in Salina on the way back from OSH, it was 105+ degrees, 90% humidity that day. No A/C, front windows wouldn't go down. We were rolling in style!
