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.
