i still hang aroud here too. i just don't get a chance to get on as much as ya'all. :wink:
it has been a while since i been on here. lets see if i can remember what happened since i was last on here. (since i am getting old and all
)
well, this week, we went on a 20k hike. that sucked, the whole thing was on black top road, and that stuff is horrible to hump on, it will KILL your feet. they hurt like hell when we was done. then for the rest of the week, we did MOUT. that is the urban terrain stuff, where we go in and clear out rooms, and whole buildings and stuff. kinda like the SWAT teams do. it was a blast, and TOTALLY different than i tought it would be. when u are actually doing it, it is nothing like in the movies. and i quickly learned that the movies are way off on how to clear rooms too. lol
i also found out what unit i am going to be assigned to. i will be with 1/5 Victor, or first batallion, fifth regiment (i don't know how to spell that), and i ain't to sure what the victor stands for, something with being in the infantry, that is all i know, coz i don't think it is the company, but i could be wrong. and i won't be heading to Iraq for a while, coz they just came back about a week ago, so i will have 6-8 months till i head over there.
well, i don't wanna make this to long, so i will end it. i will try to post more often. if ya all have any questions, ask away. :grin:
