IIARIAT: If It Ain't Rainin', It Ain't Trainin'. This old Army saw probably traces its roots to Fort Lewis! We've had 3 days of continuous drizzle, interrupted by periods of rain.
SRP (Soldier Readiness Processing, 3rd time) went well! But there were a couple of things still needed on me, so it's not completely redundant.
Thomas and I have jumped into any training class we can find. Wednesday it was a legal briefing/review, Thursday was both combatives and combat first aid. Today we picked up the DAGR (military GPS), plus worked on fixing up our newly issued personal equipment...
WOW! The gear we're receiving is top-notch, fantastic stuff. We are definitely a well-equiped force with state-of-the-art ballistic vests, load carying equipment, sleeping systems, ECW (extended cold weather) clothing, Gerber utility knife, camel-back hydration, and much improved first-aid kits. Nice.
