It continues to be very hot here. Today the temperature was over 103 degrees on the shooting range. We started to day mustering at 3:30 a.m. The Army likes to have a lot of formations. They start the day in formation, end the day in formation, and I think they have formations to plan formations. The hardest part of the training here finished today. Yesterday, I qualified on the M16 as a Marksman on the timed pop-up targets ranging from 50 meters to 300 meters away. Today, we shot the big guns such as the 50 cal and the Saw. The Army took care of us in the heat making sure we kept hydrated and let us field the 70 pounds of battle rattle we wear unless we were actually shooting. Tomorrow we get to sleep in until 7:00 a.m.
