Day 31: Today was a long day! After PT and breakfast chow, we practiced our new firing positions for awhile. After lunch we headed to the range. We started ARM (Advanced Rifle Marksmanship) where basically we shoot standing and walking. We were at the range from 1300 to 2300. It was fun shooting at night using the lasers. It was probably the only time many of us will ever use that equipment. Our goal today was to not necessarily knock down the target, but to be in the correct stance and be familiar with putting our weapon on safety. The DS told us today & tomorrow are the only days they have permission to knock us on the ground due to safety reasons.
Day 32: Had another very long day today. After running 60/120s at PT, we went to the range from 0900 to 2330. It was extremely hot, category 5 before 1100. We shot over 200 rounds at different positions and distances, in full battle gear. Our company got in trouble and is currently in no phase until we get discipline. I agree that our company as a whole needs discipline; however, my platoon is disciplined.
Day 33: Had light PT this morning since today was recovery day. The only things we did today was go to chow, clean our bays, learn how to hold the weapons in our opposite hands and practice drill & ceremony. We also got mail for the first time in 5 days since we have been so busy. Tonight we had to pack an emergency bag just in case the hurricane hits since our bays are manufactured and not very sturdy.
