Basic Combat Training is over! It was definitely quite a learning experience with highs and lows, right now I'm just chilling before Advanced Individual Training, or more focused job training, begins - dunno if I'll have internet access then, so just doing what I can now to add a couple of entries from the past two and a half months. I have to report to Fort Bragg soon, we'll see how that goes... right now I just need a breather.
Some thoughts from BCT:
- Having a dump pouch to drop empty magazines into is REALLY convenient and I really missed having one during training, as opposed to the ease of reloading I had when playing airsoft. I'll definitely have one for future deployments.
- I curse more prodigiously now than I have in the past, I was trying to ease up on it but it's the nature of my profession.
- It's funny, I've been trying to break my habit of wearing hats all the damn time, and now they're required whenever I'm outside in uniform, whether it's a beret or a patrol cap. They sure are useful though, my head would burn otherwise!
