Today started out very early and the movie apocolypse now was flashing thru my mind. The part where the helecopters are on the beach and the pilot says. God I love the smell of Napalm in the morning. Well for me it was the smoke bombs and gunfire as we were low crawling thru the sand. I think I was pretty low because the sand filled my pockets, helmet and boots.
Then it was on to moving tactics under fire and throw the grenade at the dummy. I had flashbacks to basic training when I hit the dummy on the head and the grenade bounced away. Not that unlucky today. I scared him so bad he didn't move and bang goes the grenade. I have to say the grenade throwing was an eye opener as I saw some people who couldn't hit the side of a barn at 5 feet. Some forgot to remove the safety device and dared the dummy to throw it back I guess.
Off to navigating obstacles using smoke and crawling under the wire and over the wall. Then off to the ranges. I qualified but not my best effort.
Well that has been my week here in Georgia, It may be a few days before I get back at this but have no fear, the DBR King will be back in the saddle again.
take care
I had a lot to be
