Trigger's in Colorado


"Trigger" is what Erica said that Gunnery Sgt. Gettler (Gunny, for short) has nicknamed her. She left early this morning with three other students on a plane to Colorado, where they'll compete in the regional shooting competition. The actual competition takes place on Saturday; tomorrow will be practice-practice-practice.

I got a text message when their plane landed, and then this evening I spoke to her briefly. She said they were headed for the hotel pool -- what fun! I envy her, but I know how much fun things like that can be.

I really, really hope she shoots well. When she's on her game, she's deadly.
