#80 - White phase & rifle marksmanship

I've been very busy today and quite sleep-deprived, so I don't have much time (or energy) to write. We began the day at 5AM on one of the live-fire rifle ranges. We grouped shots with the M-16. I had a little difficulty at first until I got my firing position down. I forgot how much I enjoyed firing the M-16. We will now spend the next two weeks on basic rifle marksmanship.

Our company guidon was just changed from red to white, signifying the phase change. This symbolizes our ascent into the middle of basic training. Everyone was in a good mood because of it. We still have awhile to go, but at least there is light at the end of the tunnel.
