Today we conducted SRM, Short Range Marksmanship. Talk about some real useful training. Though the drills and training are simple, they are definitely crucial to a soldiers duties. The training drills are designed to create a soldier who can effectively engage an enemy at short range while walking, turning, kneeling, standing, ect. Considering the urban environments in which the conflicts in the middle east take place, the ability for a soldier to engage targets at short range is more vital than ever.
The training was great. I learned some new tricks of the trade and was able to work out some minor kinks.
I'm getting more and more excited for the time off that I'll have in a couple weeks. I haven't seen Nikki for over a month and am missing her tons. We talk on the phone every day, but it's just not the same (especially for one who is as worthless in a phone conversation as I).
