Today really was/is a long day. We licked the morning off at 0400 and started our company 12K march at 0500. ђђђ I was starving. They don’t feed us until after the march. Worst ever. It was also freezing….in the 20’s which should be illegal. I marched on the inside of the guys so I could motivate and make sure everyone didn’t fall behind. It really is beautiful outside marching as the sun rises. It turned out to be a good march…pretty…no big issues. We have one more in a couple of weeks that is about 20K.
Next we marched to our training location. Today was MOUT training. Military Operations Urban Terrain. More modern warfare cleaning building and such. It was really fun and interesting. Breaching buildings with a 4 man team working through each room cleaning or eliminating the enemy. There were six different building layouts to go through and soldiers would hide within as enemy combatants. It really showed how important team work was. One slip up, stall, hesitation and lives are lost. Shows how dangerous the situations are that these guys go through every day. Amazing.
On a bad note- the first Sarge jumped in and started beating up down today, not physically but verbally. Something set him off and he ran with it for almost 25 minutes. He filmed some to post on Facebook. He really tore into us on 8 count pushups and up down. SUCKED.
Other highlights. Tomorrow is another Sunday. Much needed relaxation. This week has just been physically and mentally tiring for reason. We got our individual pictures at first I didn’t really purchase much then figured my mom would be highly upset so I got a package. Video of our events, 700-1000 pictures of events, individual photo, platoon group photo and yearbook. I can finally change my photo on my grandma’s (DeeDee’s) wall mine is still for my senior year in high school, 10 years ago. I am totally beat so lights out for this guy.
