APFT 2 and Zeroing

Had APFT 2 this morning, got 27 push ups (up from 13), 50 sit ups (down from 53), and a 20:13 2 mile (down from 22:49). Not terrible but my run needs a lot of work yet, gonna try to get it there though.

After PT test we had to run upstairs, change, eat chow, and grabed all our gear in about 30 minutes in order to make it to the range. Had our longest day at the range yet, I spent 3 hours on the firing line coaching someone before i even got to fire. We were working on zeroing our COs and iron sights at 25 meter targets. I zeroed very quickly and spent the next hours working on m grouping. I still need a lot of work but it will come with practice.

We headed back later in the evening and spend a few hours cleaning our weapons for tomorrow.

At 2000 we lined the road with our flashlights alternating red white and blue as we cheered on Bravo Company as they completed the final mile of their 12 mile ruck from the FTX site to the place they are awarded their crossed rifles, Hono-Hill. It was awesome, and we get to go through it in 10 weeks time.

This is all I have time to write, will try and get some overdue letters written tomorrow night.
