New Gear!!! & Roadmarches!!!!



Shortly after we got here we
were issued our IBA's
(Improvised Body Armor). Our
1LT thought that it would be fun
to take a three mile road march
in them so we could start getting
used to them. It wasn't so bad
except that it rained the entire
road march.





Big Guns, Little Guns & All the Guns Inbetween!!!!!

9mm Handgun: The 9mm is the sidearm that we carry around on our hip. It is the smallest of all the weapons that we will have with us while we are in Iraq. When we were at this range we had to hit 17 out of 30 targets to qualify. I belive I hit 21 out of 30 if I remember right.




<---Just a bunch of us hanging
out under the tent at the
9mm range waiting for them
to call up our firing order.

Me getting ready to go fire.

Just double checking that

I have all my protective

equipment on(IBA, Kevlar,

Gloves, Eye & Ear Protection). --->
