Current Goal

This is Wiley Coyote, Chiggies husband. It's the 4th of July and all fireworks are banned for central Colorado due to extreem drought conditions. We just had the states worst forest fire Waldo Canyon Fire and it's still burning. In honor of the 4th we have rededicated this TB to the Mother of All Fire works: The US Army Fragmentary Grenade. As a former Army Drill Sergeant I had the pleasure of teaching many,....many Privates on how to properly throw this thing. One of the Army basic training graduations requirements is for a Private to throw two live grenades. I spent countless hours with Soldiers, using practice training grenades, having them: proper grip, thumb to clip, sneak a peak, twist pull pin, and FRAG OUT! We used Ramagen Range on Ft Jackson SC for every cycle we trained, and is still used to this day. It was scary to be there when the Soldiers threw, even after we taught them to throw and TAKE COVER! Some of them would throw and just stand there watching it....not realzing they were exposed! Oh the memories of that range! Well, we lost this TB a few years ago and have now decided to reactivate it again in honor of our wonderful nations birthday. We are releasing it in our TB R&R cache right out front of our house.  There really isnt a mission other than be discovered and moved by as many cachers as there are out there across our wonderful country and the possibly world. God's speed, God Bless America, and as always ARMY STRONG!
