Basic Training Journal: Wednesday, September 24th

We got to sleep in today since we got back late yesterday from the range. After breakfast we had more hand to hand combat. We leanred a few more holds, then we got to grapple with other guys from our platoon...fun stuff. You did it until the DS said to stop or you got someone to tap out. One guy that really hated my battle buddy was punching and head butting him....I was laughing my butt off because I didn't like my battle buddy either. My battle buddy was quite a character......

After lunch we went to the range and shot on burst a few times. Then we put our PRO mask on and shot in the foxhole and unsupported. It was weird firing with the PRO mask on...you have to adjust the weapon to your mask, so you actually shot in a weird position. We then ate dinner, waited for night to fall and shot in the unsupported. We got back to the barracks around 2300.
