we are all. mohawk 3. mohawk company...

thursday sing the abovementioned title in the "mickey mouse song" tune and you have the platoon's unofficial song. training's been good. had IPPT categorization test. did pretty good except for my bloody standing broad jump. well on my way to getting silver or even gold if the improvements keep up. i'm running close to 10 minutes flat for 2.4. hope to get it to around 9min 40 to get that gold.

anyway.. highlights of the week:

4km route march with FBO (full-battle order)
IPPT cat test
appointed platoon in-charge for drawing of arms
rifle presentation ceremony
1st official book-out.. on a thursday too

route march was nothing. i mean NOTHING. it's only tiring because of the weight of the FBO. but that's all to it. once you're used to the weight it'll be all ok. and most of it is mental anyway. just have to push yourself. platoon 3's doing pretty alright. section 1's fucked. too slack. hope to rectify that when we book in.. army. what a place. suddenly it all feels like an extended training camp of sorts. consequences are far worse than anyone can expect, death hangs above everyone's heads waiting to strike if and when a silly asswipe makes a fatal error. rifles and bullets. not to be trifled with, even if it's empty. some people just don't get it.
