On Wednesday June 12th myself and The Brad got the chance to spend some time with the Washington Army National Guard. After a 20 min drive out to a secluded location in the hills of Central Washington we met up with a group of Citizen Soldiers in  the middle of a combat training mission. You'll see some great footage we took right behind the front line as they use live ammunition on targets.

We then traveled 45 mins to a new location where we rolled up on over a dozen M1 Abrams tanks working on target practice and dialing in their range scopes.

Special thanks to CPT Joseph Siemandel of the Washington Army National Guard for hosting us.
