Day 44

Day 44: After PT (pullup bars) and chow, we headed to the range to throw grenades. Although the one's we threw today were just fuses, they could still harm us. It took a few throws to get used to it but they are not hard. I was pretty nervous the first time I threw the grenade but got more comfortable. We did buddy throws in an obstacle-like course. I wish we would have practiced throwing before we actually threw the grenades. "Proper grip, thumb to clip, twist pull pin, grenade out, get down" was what we have to say & do every time.

I forgot to mention yesterday that we are officially in blue phase. The DS mentioned that we were phasing a few days ago but the phase banner did not change until today.
