Live Fire Call of Duty

Posted by PVL in MiscJul 2nd, 2009 | no responses

I recently had the opportunity to test out the T2 Live-Fire Interactive Tactical Training System from American Defense Systems, Inc.  This system was awesome.  Imagine playing Call of Duty on a massive projection screen with real firearms:

T2 provides law enforcement, SWAT team members, tactical specialists and military operators with the opportunity to hone their firearms and combat skills — with their own weapons and ammunition— in conjunction with realistic video scenarios broadcast on a large life-like screen.

This is a great training system and I encourage all law enforcement agencies to look into this system. [AI Tactical].

Panoramic Shots from the Highest Point* on Long Island

Posted by PVL in PhotographyJun 28th, 2009 | one response

In 2007 I had the opportunity to get some exclusive shots from the top of the 12 story Alfonse M. D’Amato United States Courthouse. They were downloaded to some random hard drive, and I just recently rediscovered them. Enjoy! I’ll work on getting the JPGs uploaded for wallpaper use.

*May or may not be the official “Highest Point” on Long Island.

Despite the weather, East Islip’s Class of 2009 graduated on Friday, June 26th.  Under clear skies, the graduates marched out and speeches were given.  Foreboding clouds caused the acceleration of the program and the procession was moved indoors.  The administration and grounds crew worked well accommodating the mass of  siblings, parents and grandparents. So congrats Brooke and good luck at Ithaca!
