Fieldwork
We were supposed to spend three days in the field, but it never really worked out. We left here at 1300 the other day, went to a range to fire some live rounds and check our zero (making sure our sites on our weapons are aligned properly to where the bullet actually goes). After that we loaded up our trucks and drove to the next range were we were supposed to stay overnight, then train all the next day, night, and then next day again. Well, there was already another unit camped out there, using the range that night and the next day. After about 30 minutes of calls to higher-ups, we again loaded up the trucks and drove back here, arriving back late last night. Today was some training, then a lot of sitting around since nothing was scheduled for us. I finally got in a run and a trip to the gym though, thank god.
Oh and the day before we got to take the up-armored Humvees out to train on. Man, those are pretty impressive machines; 5 tons of armor and steel but can still cruise along over all sorts of terrain. They really take a lickin’ and we sure gave ours one, just punching it through all sorts of terrain and making it spin out and stuff. We’re such boys…
