Invitation to the Army in Battambang

When i jumped on the motorbite to the way back home infront of the supermarket i came in contact with a Cambodian on the bike next to me.We started taking and i discovered that he is a soldier,working as bodyguard for a General.Yesterday was the marriage of Sihanouk Ville's Governor,that's why he went down here.We talked a while and changed the numbers.Back home after dinner the phone rang and i got invited for another dinner with him and colleges.
So after we met he (won't publish his name without his aggrement)suggested a Khmer restaurant.T%here we went and had a nice evening with 5 other close protection officers.
They was so nice,all of them and invited us to Battambang.We talked of course a lot about the work,good and a lot of bad memories came back.:)
Shooting training was one of my major hobbies while i worked selfemployed in the Investigation-and security service in Germany and Austria.
In Battambang i hopefully can try an AK 47 for the first time-of course i pay the ammo.:)Tried serveral other assault rifles while shooting IPSC (Parcour shooting)training every week in Austria with the local military.
Here a clip aboout the training of an IPSC stage,one mistake trough my slippery fingers which got the slide racking not right by the first time.
The objective of this stage:
After the strartsignal grab the gun,the magazin on the other side,load,chamber a round,shot 6 targets in 4 meter with double tabs,empty the gun,show the range officer and reholser.
The gun was my duty gun and favorite 9mm,a Browning Hi Power from 1969.
This sport really push your limits in the big stages.:)
