30 Weeks today!!

TOW Missile!

This video is of Chris shooting a TOW missile. He said that it was quite an experience and a privilege. Each battalion (about 1,000 Marines) only get 8 missiles (TOW) a year to practice with. So, I guess you can say it was a BIG DEAL!! :) This is just a short clip, but I thought it was cool and wanted to share it! :) Oh yeah, each missile cost 16,000 dollars -- I guess that's why they don't get that many to practice with! ;)
