Basic Training Journal: Tuesday, September 23rd

We did a review of first aid before lunch today. Afterwards we got our M16s and got trans to the range. We shot once during the daytime and once at night. We were instructed to empty our 2 clips ASAP, even if we ran out really early. Brass was flying everywhere. We had field chow for dinner, then we waited till it started getting dark outside and shot again. The targets flashed every few seconds but it was still hard to see them. The tracer rounds were cool to watch, they'd bounce off the targets and fly into the sky. We got back to the bay at 2300.
