At the range again today, surprise, surprise. TLB time we were shooting lanes with pop-up targets at 75m, 175m, and 300m. We had 54 rounds total, firing 10 kneeling, 22 in prone supported, and another 22 in prone unsupported. The 10 from kneeling were for familiarization only and weren't counted in our score, we needed a 26/44 for a go and those who got a no-go the first time got a second attempt. We were also wearing full battle rattle which made it all much harder.
Yours truly initially scored a 22/44, but we took our body armor off due to the heat and I got 26/44. I've got some things to improve on, but we don't qualify until next Thursday.
We'll be heading back to the range tomorrow for more practice, but my squad and second squad are staying back to participate in a ceremonial for 9/11. With the memories of that day refreshed in our minds I predict scores to sky rocket.
Our 4 hour pass is confirmed to be this Saturday and everyone is excited. Inspection number two is also on Saturday, and we'll attempt to defend our streamer from the other platoons.
Another note about the APFT that was on Monday, our platoon's average jumped from 160 to 205, the largest jump they've ever seen.
Will write more tomorrow, lights out now.
