We worked on lots of level one stuff today - mostly review; operation of the Claymore mine, identification of different types of grenades, function and utilization of the M203 weapon system, and my favorite, CBRN (Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear warfare).
I've got some video of some of the classes - mostly breaks in between - which I'll try to upload and get added to this post in the next day or two; but they were excellent courses. The staff here really knows what they're about, and are extremely professional. I'm hoping to get copies of the weapons powerpoints tomorrow sometime so that I can review with my squaddies in our own time or just get them copies of the coursework for review on their own.
Last night we were handed out the new kits for our M249s, and I must say, my faithful lady is looking a lot better after I switched out her barrel and stock, added some optics (alas only for the night), and added a forward grip/bipod and removed the old bipod. Definitely ready for some room clearing!!
More later, updates on youtube nearly daily - not for the faint of heart though, lots of four letter words in any soldier's vocabulary!
