LOLZ, father son team for the win!!

On a side note, I will likley go. This is my style.  It was pathetic to see all the people dropping in the heat when there was plenty of water around and little or no walking required.

TJ, do you want me to bring that breaching shotgun I had at the 4 man match?  It would be nice to teach breaching using one designed to do it safely.
