Alright, I am back to the world of the living. I am beat! Church training force on force, room clearing, hostage scenarios, two days of carbine training in 117 heat index. I am whipped. Everybody and I mean everyone made fun of my big hat first day training out doors in 100 degree heat. Second day? You guessed it, I am once again a fashion icon! Lots of big hats! Most guys couldn’t hardly bear their slings around their necks on second day due to having the backs of their necks blistered from day before. Most of us did three IVs a day to stay in the game. Several guys did not make it and dropped. It was serious heat. I came in second for high score to my team mate and fellow instructor (also a Marine). In all fairness he used a 8x magnification for scoring and I just used my ACOG. I loaned my 8X to one of our other teammates and fellow instructor to use as he came with broke junk. We all use 8X venom Strike Eagles. Nice for the price if you will. You boys have put up a lot of pages while I was out. Doubt I will back read so apologies in advance.
