Kids! Start planning now for a career in the growing field of civilian artillery!

I wonder if they have any openings.

Thanks to all of the men and women on UDOT’s avalanche Team @UDOTavy. Your early morning missions keep Utah Moving. Thanks for all you do, and for letting me tag along.

I tried Colorado Avalanche, but that's a hockey team.

... back when artillery was just becoming common on the battlefield, civilian contractors were employed. Which is not too shocking, their were no standing armies at the time. A classic case of something coming around that has gone around.
