LFX with LEPs

Today we spent most of the day on the shooting range with our guards. We went there before them and made the preparations for the exercise. The guards drove to the range in the guard commander's Toyota Corolla in two groups, one before lunch and another in the afternoon. We had the zero in their Pakistan-made Kalashnikov copies, before doing some very basic drills. Our PLNO (police liaison officer) K was the instructor, whereas I was responsible for safety. I must say that after a day's shooting we were surprised at the discipline and the skill of our guards. They did well. We also found out that two of our guards' weapons malfunctioned, which is of course good to find out at the range and not in a TIC (troops in contact) situation. The weather was perfect: warm but not hot, slightly windy, partially cloudy with showers that just about passed us by.

Oh, and the abbreviations in the headline mean "live fire exercise with locally employed persons".


The IP's clothes are imitation leather. Very stylish...NOT.


The rain came in from the southwest.
