So I am a little behind on the updates so here goes:
Sunday Day 9 Off day yippee! We slept in late as to the "spring forward" Went to the Officers club for an awesome $13.95 sunday brunch. Farted around at the exchanges and had to come back for a 1600 briefing. Then it was back out to the Mall where we had 5 guys for dinner and a little time at books a million.
Monday Day 10 Medical Stand Down: So we slept in a little, had a medical briefing and those that needed it got poked and prodded by the medical Staff. Thankfully for me, I only had to do the brain trauma pre-examination. In short, a test that examines brain function prior to an injury. We had a couple of classes on first aide in the afternoon and were done early.
Tuesday Day 11. M16 Pre-qualification
Today was a 0445 wake up were we went to the rifle range to shoot the M16 more. Lots of ammunition is being expended to the get the sailors up to speed for shooting the weapon. We shot 160rnd apiece. Came back, cleaned out weapons and had a very aggressive SGT from Egypt give us a middle eastern culture brief. As a bonus the USO van came and handed out free pizza, wings and soda!
Wednesday, Day 12 M16 Qualification: Shot the M16 on the pop up range. I shot 35 out of 40. Not too shabby. We came home, cleaned our weapons, were issued our NBC (Nuke Bio Chemical) over garments, had a class on battle field stress and were out early.
