Today we went over gunnery for the bradley fighting vehicle. I have some pictures of a round that it fires. Tomorrow is hump day for me, that is the midpoint between my days off.

My school is just like your school except we learn military tactics and operations.

Pictures from class

Here are some pictures. The bradley pictures are from my dad. The rest our from my classroom session today, seven hours of powerpoint about defensive and offensive operations.

So today was my second day of mechanized leader course. So far so good. I got to get hands-on training on the M2A2 ODS Bradley. I also drove it around for a couple minutes. I am working on getting into the M2A3 Bradley school directly after this one, if so I can try and stay at the Bradley school for 6 weeks. That would take me to october and give me a month to try and fit another school in before bolc 2.

Benning is fine. It has been pretty tolerable weather-wise.

I saw some of my rotc friends that had some time off from ranger school.

I am not sure if this is a sign but I have been getting mass-emails from someone in 4ID. The 4th infantry division used to be at fort hood but have since moved to fort carson in colorado. I guess I may get to texas and be sent to carson instead, we'll just have to see.

I have to work through this weekend, but I get a four day weekend next next week, hooray!
