Army Open House

Finally got to spend some quality time with Matthew today after all the fuss over little Nathan's birth and stuff. Matthew's been so interested in the army, mainly because he learned to play those first person shoot-them-ups that I play like America's Army, Operation Flashpoint, Medal of Honor.
We went to the army open house at Safti this afternoon after all the coverage he saw on TV over the weekend. I am sure it will make an impression on him. Don't know if he will ever consider a career in the army.....hehe
I'm sure he had fun though, being able to handle his favourite weapons, sniper rifle, grenade launcher, sub machine gun and also got to ride in the Bionix, AMX10 and 13, FH2000, LG1 etc.
It was a rainy afternoon though, so got a little bit wet and had to spend some time hiding in the canteen to get out of the rain. Spent a bit of the time at the computer based simulations too. He's really into it. There were no computers when I was his age!! Certainly a different generation.
He didn't want to leave and he was so tired after the whole experience!!
