1/17 & 1/18

Went on a two-day field exercise here at The Basic School. It was a field ex all about patrolling... basically walked under a combat load with my machine gun for two days straight with very little rest. Also had very little real food... brought some protein bars and peanut butter and jelly sandwhiches... but mostly had MREs. Overall it was good training, but pretty physically demanding. It was tough only getting about 5 hours of sleep Monday and Tuesday and then 6 Wednesday night. Need some rest after this time in the field.
