HEAT missile

Ben had the opportunity along with 4 other trainee (out of ~150) from his company to shoot an old tank with AT-4 HEAT (high explosive anti-tank) missile! He not only hit it, he blew it off the track & destroyed! :-) He made sure that the $200+ missile didn't go to waste! That was real exciting!
He was mad that they didn't pass the night navigation test. They were to find 3 points, given distance and direction, march there and record the number on the post. They managed to find one point, but not good enough. The day time was much easier though. They were also shooting M203 grenade launcher (he had one on like it on his air soft rifle), but it was alot harder than it he thought, definitely not as exciting as the AT-4. He is not happy that he's still in Red Phase because of the rest of his platoon is messed up.
Remember his friend Dunlap? Ben met him at the the San Jose training before he got shipped off. He was seeking and Ben re-introduced him to the Lord. He wants to learn about the armor of God (Eph 6:10). Last Sunday (7/12) in service, he accepted the Lord and was baptized!! What a blessing! They are still studying the Purpose Driven book & going to church together. Praise the Lord!
