FEX II

Last week we had FEX II, here are some more pictures taken by my buddy in my fighting hole.

Fex II Defense

This week we had our second big field exercise, including 1 day in the defense. One of these pictures is of me in my fighting hole...I have a branch in front of my face. Taken 3/12/2007.

7-Ton

Here are some pictures of what happens inside a 7-Ton. Sleep and joking around mostly. I'm not sure when these were taken.

R-5

A few weeks ago we did Range 5, a live fire squad assault. It was loads of fun with loads of mud. I finally go the pictures from it, including some with me in them. I have a SAW and I am second from the far left. I can't remember the date that we did this, because our schedule got all messed up.

Gas Chamber 1

Today we went to the gas chamber, a confidence building exercise, in which you go into a chamber full of CS gas (super concentrated pepper spray) take off your mask and put it back on in order to show you that it works. Whether you do it right or not, you get the stuff all over your face and it STINGS. A good time was had by all, especially those that breathed deep and blew snots. Taken 3/6/2007.
