Day 60

Day 55 of BCT

PT was stretching again for the 9 of us that still hadn't passed the PT test. We got shuffled around a bit from classroom to the PT field, but I'm glad I didn't have to run an AGR like everyone else. My knees are going to take a while to heal when I get home.

Today is a really low key day. Basically getting ready for Victory Forge. We spent time working to attach our laser gears to our helmets and vests (not an easy task), and then also had some training on running traffic stops/checkpoints and searching vehicles. Chow was at the DFAC all day. It's been nice to get a break from Hot-A's this week.

We spent time in the afternoon practicing squad movement drills. It was a pretty boring day. After dinner, we ended up spending all of our personal time working on the gear. We still didn't finish either.

Mail call was awesome though. Our platoon had all chipped in and ordered really nice buck knives for our DS's witht their names engraved on them. They were really excited about them. And then one guy got a package with Oreo's and candy. So the DS shared it witht the whole platoon. Except me, since I have my PT test in the morning. But I was OK with that. The best part was getting 3 letters. One from my Mom, one from my Grandma, and one from my best friend.

I lucked out and had no FG!
