Tuesday Day 17 Week 9

Morning PT. Good stuff, We did the "extra mile". A very large circle of exercises. Pushups, sit ups, ski jumper, ext.... A pretty good time.
Blue Force Tracker!
Cool stuff. Technology has come a long way since my days as a grunt. It seems everyone has a GPS that his hooked into a large command system. It is good stuff. Everyone sees where all the "blue" (good guys) forces are. Everyone also sees where the "red" (bad guys) are. It is like a very detailed video game. Only you can't control the pieces. We spent all day learning the basics on how to operate it. We are not experts by any stretch. We have a basic understanding of how it works. Thats about all I can say about it. You know security and all? Bottom line is, It helps us not to shoot each other. A good thing. Even if a Chaplain could shoot (I can, but won't. Part of the deal you know? It isn't our job) at an enemy.
