Day 29: We marched to our last obstacle course of BCT this morning, the Confidence Course. The obstacles consisted of: walking across a balance beam with only a net to break our fall, zip lining, climbing up and down a tall ladder that consisted of different length boards, and climbing down a rope upside down with our boots crossed together using our hands to maneuver. I achieved all of the obstacles. I was most worried about climbing the rope since the last time I did it, I fell. Our platoon really came together today and kept everybody motivated. I am now beginning to related to the males in our platoon as brothers and females as sisters. We are always cutting up with each other and helping each other out. I am exhausted; it's 1900 and I am already ready for bed.
Day 30: Today we went to the weapon simulation. I find it pointless because we wait outside for 5.5 hours and only practice for 10 minutes. The simulation is nothing like live firing on the range. We did practice our new firing positions. We also got mail for the first time in 4 or 5 days which always lightens the mood.
