Day 22: I went to the range today to work on shooting at different distance targets. My magazine got stuck 7 times which messed me up. I now realize the importance of having a clean rifle (although it was mostly the magazine's fault). We went back to the classroom and I spent almost two hours cleaning my weapon.
Day 23: Had en early wake up (0330) and headed for our road march by 0430 in full gear, including: ACH (helmet), flick (vest), knee/elbow pads and an assault pack, weighing about 60 pounds. The marches are getting easier, especially when you have boots that actually fit. After much enjoyed chow, we did the rifle simulation course and worked on shooting drills. Basically, once again, we sat around doing pretty much nothing.
Day 24: After PT (ran 60/120s), we went to the range and shot single & multiple targets between 50 and 300 meters. We had to shoot in the unsupported and supported prone and kneeling positions. I did pretty well. It was extremely hot at the range. Another male tried to commit suicide. The DS and officers lectured us about suicide preventions.
