That was one of the things I loved about being a medic in the Army...when we went to ranges, whatever ammo was left, they usually let the medics fire it...whether that be 50 cal or law rocket or shaped charges :-D

We worked with one of the NJ State Police SWAT teams, as well as other local teams. It was pretty intense. Most times when they did raids, we would stay back from the scene, but a few times they deemed it safer for us to be part of the 'stack' than to hang back. That was incredibly intense. We did a lot of training with the State Police Team and they would take us shooting with them when they needed to practice because they had to 'qualify'. One day, I got to shoot EVERY weapon in their arsenal..including the sniper rifle. -- Scott Stroz --------------- You can make things happen, you can watch things happen or you can wonder what the f*&k happened. - Cpt.
