1547 we are sitting around in formation back to back near the gun range waiting for dark. A smoke session will happen soon. We got hit hard upon arrival. In full battle rattle it was pretty tough.
This morning was GC- cold….20’s or less. Below 60 in our sleeping bags. So much that after my 0300 fireguard I got fully dressed in winter PT’s and went back to bed instead of my normal wake up and shower. Once we formed up outside at 0500 the senior DS said “F--- this I’m old…it’s cold…go clean the bay- no PT!” Best moment ever. It’s gorgeous now.
We shot a round earlier, 50 rounds to use our red dot scope, 20 kneeling near a wall and 10 prone unsupported. Shooting at our pop up targets, so it was fun. I scored a pork rib in my MRE which is exactly the same as the McDonald’s McRib. About 1800 we start night shooting, utilizing our night monocular and laser. We will be on the range until 2300 so I bought an extra Clif bar from the “Gut Truck” as a late night snack. Time to group study for White Phase testing tomorrow. I’ll fill in on the night shooting later. J
2213 we just got back to the bay early because it was freezing outside. The shooting was fun. The lasers weren’t zeroed so aiming was pointless, but we got to test at night vision scenarios so that was the point. With all the shooting it was neat watching the tracers shoot off. We are still waiting for our cleaning duties and orders so bed is still a little ways off.
Our DS decided we could get our “Punishers” name back. As a group we had to do about 1000 pushups or about 20 a piece. We were motivated, so 1st squad alone (I’m in first) out of 4 hammered out 490 of them alone. The team has started acting better so it was good to get our name back.
J I have my wool blanket and socks in the dryer getting warm for bedtime. Boy when that time comes I’m going for full wrap up mode.
Late night but still Happy Humpday!
