Day 55: The only things we did today was PT, eat and watch movies The DS want us to rest up before Victory Forge. They did not care if we were sleeping, as long as we weren't in our beds. We watched movies like Black Hawk Down and Tears of the Sun.
Day 56: I was able to go to Mass again today. All we did was eat and watch movies, for the second day. I guess we have nothing else to do.
Day 57: Today started off bright & early. We were up at 0200 and were marching by 0330. It took 4 hours to walk 10.5 miles. It was not an easy walk, especially up and down the hills in the woods, walking in the thick sand. We had 2 - 15 minute breaks where we had our feet checked and changed socks. I am so glad my parents mailed me good socks and panty hose because it prevented me from getting blisters. The last 1/2 mile was the hardest because we had to walk up a steep hill in thick sand. I was so glad to make it because I was hurting. After a much deserved breakfast, we settled into tents and walked another mile to where we practiced squad attacks. Each squad had to react to different types of attacks. When we were waiting our turn, which was the majority of the time, we had to pull security. Every so often we would have to react to attackers. The DS enjoyed throwing smoke bombs and land morters. Oh, Victory Forge is apparently an excuse for the DS to smoke us. Every little thing we do wrong, we were smoked! After we got back to the camp, we area and cleaned weapons.
