Day 18 (Week 3)

Gotta love ants. they are a bain to the existence of "big people". I believe that this must home to most of the worlds ants. And they bite!
More good training. Ran the "fit to fight" obstacle course. A smoker. I believe the fastest time was in the mid 12's. We were through when we got done. What's funny is people pay good money for this sort of fun.
Also ran the night land navigation course. Good stuff. took the lead and "plotted" the first point. Way off. but recovered and ran a good compass azimuth to redeem myself.
We also got to see how convoy operations are run. Very educational. Can't go into how it works. But suffice it to say that the army is learning lessons and trying to be more effective. And even chaplains have to learn how to react to hostile fire. The enemy does not care that we are non-combatants. We have to do it right.
Had "Hot A's" for several meals today. We do not have MRE's all the time. Gotta love those hockey pucks (fried veil patties, I think?).
