Jon & I just finished our second tactical shooting class at Asymmetric Solutions. We are beyond exhausted, but it was amazing training. Learning so much for both real life situations & my fictional ones. Hands on research is always different than I think it will be & it changes what I write in ways I never imagine until I'm there, doing it. No amount of books, or articles can teach me what I learn from using a weapon for real, or as real as I can get as a civilian. Now, for showers & early bed. My hat's off to all our men and women in the Armed Forces who do this every day & in heat that makes Missouri seem cool & pleasant. You guys are bad ass, I just write this stuff.

I am a little concerned about how she sees the application of tactical shooting classes to her real life situations.

Gosh, is Laurell interested in guns? I am so glad she let us in on this at last. Now if only she'd tell us something about her husband... I'm pretty sure she has one! What could his name be...

She hasn't specified that this Jon is her husband, Jon. I'm concerned that she's hanging out with strangers.

Soldiers aren't just shooting at targets in hot conditions. "Exactly what I do, plus heat!" is not what soldiers go through, Laurell! FFS!

Did the "OH BTW THNX ARMY" bit feel...tacked on to anyone else? Like I see the relationship with guns/firearms but I idk, it just reads like she shoehorned it in for what I can only assume is for patriot points with fans or to make it seem like there was some POINT to this post besides I DO RESEARCH (said research would be more impressive if it actually showed in her work, I might add)
