Happy December. Month of cheers, family, Christ, fun, and me
coming home YAY!!! Sorry mom for the bad writing but I’m sitting on my helmet
in the middle of the night writing by moonlight.
This morning we just issued out gear and packed our 70 lb.
rucksack for those 5 days. After lunch chow we hot the trans to take us to
location. They so kindly dropped us off ½ mile away so we could walk through
the soggy bottoms and hills to our location. This afternoon and night we just
set our initial camp up. They issued out high tech laser tag equipment to
everyone. Laser attachments on our M16’s that react when we fire blanks and
everyone has a vest and helmet set of sensors that knows when we are shot. A DS then has to reset us. Didn’t try it out
today but the next few days we will use them in battle drills. FUN, FUN, FUN. AFTER TONIGHT WE WILL SPLIT UP INTO
PLATOONS TO SET UP NEW Alpha Alphas or home base. The weather is nice and only
about high 40’s to low 50’s. tonight since we are packing up in the morning I am
opting not to roll out my sleeping bags set. Since it is a pain in the ass to
roll it back up. I brought an extra blanket and my poncho over top we strung
together will block the wind and keep the dew off. Once we move tomorrow we
will be there for the next 3 nights so we will make a kick ass fort then.
All I hear in the distance is rounds being fired from night
ops going on around us. I drew first security watch so off to that for me. See you
manna. When I write.
