So this week has been all about the blue force tracker (fbcb2; force 21 battle command brigade and below) and the a3 simulator. Once again that is a giant computer that recreates the gunner and driver compartments on the bradley. Pretty amazing stuff. We're doing our gunnery tables in the simulator for the rest of the week (translation: shooting targets). Apparently you aren't suppose to use armor piercing rounds for engage troop targets because some guys in geneva a while ago thought it wasn't fair. Well I say shucks to that, and I did. Headshot! @ 900 meters. Yay for me. My instructor scolded me and quoted the geneva convention..then congratulated me on the great shot.
My buddies Payne and Peck finished Ranger school and are graduating on friday. They are a first time go through the school which means they passed everything the first time (no simple task).
Everything is going great. I am thinking about spending x on a new video card, where x is >$70 and <$180. I have found that the performance on my computer is started to show. Early this week I have overclocked the cpu and the video card and was able to squeeze out a good 10-20% boost in performance. See, that degree is paying for itself now.
Stay classy.

ReplyDeletehaha who ever knew that you playing video games at 5am before school would pay off in the real world... scary, what is this world coming to?
