Day 15
Well today ended our 3rd week here. It is hard to believe that it has been 3 weeks already. Today we got out at about 1330 so it was nice to have a little earlier day so I was able to make it around to some offices here on base and get done some paper work that I had been unable finish. We started out watching a video on sexual harassment/assault and then had a lecture by the same for another hour plus. After that we had a presentation on combative training that we will get to do along with meeting our instructor and watching some videos on what we will be learning. After that lecture we sat through another talk going over our ASU's (which we have already sat through) and what they expect when we have our company ASU inspection. That pretty much summed up our day, a lot of sitting and listening. Thankfully we have a long weekend and then next week should be some fun. We will have a lot more lectures, but thankfully they should be more targeted toward what we will practice in the field. Today I am going to put in a few extra pictures of our M16 familiarization

Your Dad twisted my arm and made me ride over and follow your blog....which is a pleasure on my part. Nice blog and really enjoyed your pictures. Seems ages since you last sat in my garage eating beans and hotdogs. Well done, my young friend. We're all proud of you. (Emitt)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the follow! I remember those days, they were some good tasting beans and hotdogs. Hopefully I will have a lot more pictures to share once we get through all of this "death by PowerPoint" and into the field for our 3 weeks of FTX.
ReplyDeleteHang in there. even though the lectures are boring, try to get one nugget from each one :-) It will help you stay awake.
ReplyDeleteKristine, thanks for the comment. I am definitely learning plenty each day, it is just a big adjustment for me to sit in class all day. It reminds me of being back in my doctoral program.
DeleteSoldier - it has been fun to catch up on all of your training to date! it seems like you are working hard and really enjoying yourself! keep up the good work and keep us updated, as you are able to, on your progress and training!
ReplyDeleteyour friend,
kymber
Kymber, will do. Thank you for checking in and the comments.
ReplyDeleteIt' been so long since I went through my basic training in the Marines that I have no idea what it is like today. I'll read your posts with interest.
ReplyDeleteMr. Flashman, thanks for the comment and your service! Unfortunately I am sure this training is probably far less strenuous than what you experienced, but hopefully it will be an interesting process.
DeleteI am another person that had their arm twisted by your dad. I think If I am correct you might even know my niece. Ask your dad..he will tell you.
ReplyDeleteI love new blogs so good luck. I can't wait to read about your future training..
JUGM, thanks for the follow! I hope you enjoy the blog.
