More Infantry BOLC fun

July 8, 2009

So far we have been training mostly on individual soldier skills and it's been a nice life.  We did a Land Navigation course a few weeks ago which was one of the hardest I've done.  You had to cover a long distances in a short time and if I didn't run the course I would have been a no go.  There was also a lot of thick brush which also made it difficult.

Since we have done a lot of shooting.  We started off just shooting M4s.  I got good training shooting moving targets for the first time.  We also did close range marksmanship.  Most recently, we did machine gun theory and application.  We did a night fire with which I had a little too much fun with.  I actually got in trouble with my Captain because I was firing in 16-20 rounds bursts rather than the required 6-9.  "I was just trying to have some fun sir" was all I could say.
