Thanks rpol98 for running the show and rhed for letting me get behind your rifle that TT glass is amazing. Good shooting guys as always. Hopefully we will get some more range days before the end of the year and another tent before rainy season so we can stay dry while rhed test his gear out lol

Tails never fails

Lol.. get em all wet! 

I’ll bring my mask and snorkel

a couple years back, at KR3, during one of those torrential downpour days, hey, it's Schofield, we had a small group of 3 or 4 active-duty military guys, they had a tarp on the ground, honest to god, there was a pond in the tarp, and they were shooting prone from in-the-pond.  no shit, they were having a good old time, laughing it up, challenging each other for down-range hits.  they stayed till they were out of ammo.  Despite the tarp, they were all muddy-as-hell, when they were done, they all climbed into what-looked-like a shiny new luxury SUV rental.  I had to scratch my head on that one.  That was memorable.

 Front-line MOS military people can get muddy, cold, soaking wet and still yuk it up.  11B, 19D, 11C and similar.

I remember him posting about that a while back.  Hopefully I can join you folks soon and see how my ZCO and NF look compared to the TT.  I've been tempted by the TT for sure.

Wait.. your gonna re-join SRGC to compare scopes? Normally we join to shoot at the range. 😂 jus playin

yes, RC office is still near the CR-1 and CR-2 ranges.  that hasn't changed.  take a right after the gas station, that's Beaver Road.  Still the same.

any firearms you want to bring on-base have to be registered with the Army Provost Marshal office.  The easiest way to do that is with the PMO at Shafter (instead of Schofield), Shafter's PMO is 24-7.  You just take your HPD registrations there, do not take the actual firearms.  And your personal ID, like your HDL.  Last time I went, it took about an hour, had about 10 items I was having added.  It seems I went during shift change, which didn't help.  that was about 1pm IIRC.

If you don't have a CAC card, then when you go on base, you and your vehicle is subject to inspection, so you need to have the paperwork for your firearms.  Paperwork in this case means the Army firearms registrations.

Even if you have a CAC card, you're subject still to the random inspection, like winning the lottery.     So it's good if you got your paperwork all squared away.

Funny.. that happened to me recently. Though not at Schofield, but Pearl Harbor Joint base. Was going to the gym there, and at the gate MP with a M4 and a PEQ-15, told me there doin random checks after he gave my cac back. Looked in the back of my car, had to open the trunk, and underside carriage mirror check. I never did get a random when I go to the gym there. That was my first.

I remember years ago a National Guard member was caught bringing a firearm onto JBPHH.  Not sure the reason, but his car got searched and they found it and he got in trouble.

Yea, I can’t imagine getting a random search forget to bring the proper documents of registered firearms with the Army.

Yeah, man.  Scope measuring. 

Looking forward to when I can join you folks.

I have had that happen, but not in years.  I was "the lucky" one once on JBPHH and another in a neighboring compound.

I know of one HIANG who did that. . .

Awesome!  I signed up for SRGC membership this past weekend, after being out for about 4-5 years.  Hopefully my application will clear quickly and I'll be able to hit the range again in about a month.  Will give me some time to get backup for some 6.5 creed and .308 win.

Question, is logging/record of firearms with base security still required?  I recall having to take he firearm information to the Provost office (I went to Shafter) to have the information input into the Army's system in order to bring them on installation.

we should have some range dates this month (December 2022), actually as soon as this weekend (12/3, 12/4), if we get the volunteers.  check the calendar, however be advised, might only get updated the day-before, sorry, can't be helped, that's the nature of the beast, all-volunteer club workers, etc.  gotta check with the wifey, honey-do list, football schedule, kids soccer schedule, christmas parties, etc.

calendar needs to say "open".  "available" means we're still waiting for volunteers.

and then there's the weather.  forecast for this weekend looks promising...

Thank you!  I'm still waiting for response from my membership "application".  The membership director said 1-2 months. . . 

For RSO, do you still need to take the briefing by range control?  Or does SRGC put on the brief every so often?  When I was a member, I spent more time as RSO than shooting.  But I had more free time back then. . .

yes, Range Control still does the required Army briefing required for the Range Safety Officer (and OIC).  couple times a year, on a Saturday, usually.

This is my new shooting range!

Interesting comment.
I did my usual Wednesday bible study this week.
God gave us the Earth,
The Earth did not create us.
We are made from the elements that exist here.
But I defy you to define how that was done.
You can not. I have a science degree, so I'm skeptical
of everything, including religion.
I suppose that is why Hawaiians are so screwed up.
They are always late.
 

ok, this is heating up in here, like, molten lava hot.
