Monday we went to Victory Tower and it was a blast!
Tuesday we had alot of classroom training.
Wednesday and Thursday were full days outside for training and being tested on Military Map Reading and Compass Training, First Aid, Day and Night Land Nav, NBC training (gas mask), Tactical Radio Comm, and saving the best for last...Day and Night Infiltration Courses. The Day Course was cool because we trained with Chaplain Assistants who were awesome! After learning to high crawl and low crawl we completed a course that was a mock combat zone running to barricades, blown up vehicles, etc. all the while running behind them (while holding onto them) and diving together behind the barricades while they suppressed fire. Then when it turned dark we did "NIC at Night" (Night Infiltration Course). This was crawling for about 75-100 yards with your helmet in the sand wearing Body Armor under barbed wire with live fire going over your head.
It was exhausting, but VERY exciting!
Today (Friday) it was nice to be back in the classroom, ran 2 miles for PT, then Drill and Ceremony Practice, and enjoyed some fellowship during dinner with our squad.
Tomorrow is a competition between the 3 platoons for Drill and Ceremony (formation, marching, left, right, and about face, saluting, etc.) I think our platoon will do pretty good, but we'll see.
There are too many prayer requests for our class to mention here, but please keep us all in your prayers.
Praying you all will have a great Lord's Day this weekend!
Here are the few pics I was able to take on Monday at Victory Tower...Enjoy!
