28 Feb 08 - Zero

We zeroed (sighted in) our M4's today. Talk about an intensely boring part of training. Imagine sitting around for 5+ hours just so you can shoot 9 to 15 rounds at a target, then sitting around another 2+ hours for everybody else to shoot their rounds then going home. Yawn. I guess there are worse things to do. Nothing comes to mind though.

All in all, however, I am enjoying my training here. Sure it can be immensely boring. Sure we sit around and wait for intermittent flurries of activity accompanied by random individuals shouting "Go, go, go", "Now, now, now", or "Move, move, move", then wait some more. But I'm here with a great group of guys, so it's really not so bad.
