So today started out with a 445am wake up call. Then we all marched over for some good old Army PT and a 1 mile run. I did well with this assessment, I ran the mile in 7:30. Not nearly the speed freak as my Germany days however not a slouch for being 30+.
Next chow then a road march with all of our battle rattle to the laser ranger where we traded in our bullet launchers for laser tag bat, lied down on the floor in a big trailer and let the computer work the magic of rifle range simulation. Interesting. After we cycled through, it was of course lunch time from out of a bag and then on a bus to the Humvee extraction assistance trainer or HEAT device. Essentially a carnival ride simulating a turned over hummer. With all of our armor on we got to ride the ride. It was a tight squeeze getting into the drivers side and an even tighter, uncomfortable experience getting out of the hummer. For added fun we got to drive some humvees around a course. Cool, bring on the super hets! I will try to sneak in a few shots tomorrow at the range in full battle rattle!
