We spent three days and nights out in the OTA (orchard training area) running combat and recon patrols and simulated warfare. We were tactical 100% of the time, thus no sleep and very little food. I couldn't take videos of our patrols, but I had time during transport to pull out my phone and record the UH-60 Black Hawks and some of the guys. The sound was deafening and the clips were random, so I spent a little time turning it into an actual video for your enjoyment rather than tolerance. So, here's a very small taste of what I do... Enjoy!
About Me
- Sharpshooter Kloster
- I am a student, a soldier, a musician, a craftsman, a marksman, a son, a brother, a boyfriend... These are the roles that I struggle to conform to and that mold me into the person I aspire to be. I was born in Rockford, Illinois to Keith and Judy Kloster. I've spent time in both Illinois and Idaho. Between these different worlds and the different families in each, I have gained a unique perspective. I have two blood siblings and a total of seven step-siblings. I technically have four parents, but many more who have stepped up to the plate when I needed them most. I've had mentors in the church, in the military, on the firing range, in the classroom, in my family, and in the pages of various books. I try to learn something from everybody I know. I figure that every person must know (exponentially) more than me about at least one thing and that it's a waste not to gain from the collective human experience. Most of what I have learned is from random "ramblings" of my elders. I've found that if you make the choice not to be deafened by youthful arrogance and listen to the most simple of life stories, you can learn the lessons that took another person a lifetime to conquer.
