Field Week!
Aside from Range week this was my favorite. A whole week of humping(hiking) heavy packs, sleeping under the stars, combat simulations...the whole nine yards. This week is really everything that little boys dream about...minus the several hundred times you will have to low crawl in the gritty rough dirt, or in Jared's case probably the mud.
Thats about it. You actually hump more miles this week than the Crucible but over an extra day or two.
Saturday Jared is back down at MCRD in San Diego.
In other news Jared shot a 231 out of 250 on the range! That is some serious good shooting! He also did well on the combat marksmanship but it is kinda a joke...targets 15-25 yards away...you don't even have to aim.
Mom says he sounds upbeat in his letters and with a coupled of easy weeks coming he should be just fine and ready for the Crucible!
Happy New Year Recruit Fullmer!
