hee hee hee...I got a pretty good chuckle out of the "and I took pictures" part :)
So are you "allowed" to carry a camera during training/actual combat? I know there are lots of picts from the field, but figure they might have some limitiations?
How long was he passed out?
yes, I have been openly carrying a camera and snapping alot, within reason. he was passed out for about three or four minutes!
