Zero: Day 2
Alright, back to the present. Not too bad today. I took some prety cool pics of the surrounding mountains here (yes there apparently are mountains in Texas). I also got all my issued gear. 'Still working on getting all the crap they gave me to fit in one C-Bag... Now for the bad news. Unfortunately, I was told that I would not be allowed to go up to the range to fire and qualify with the M-16 and M-9. Also, all the gear they gave me, including my helmet, is in woodland camouflage instead of desert... What the f*ck good is that gonna do? There aren't enough colorful metaphors and expletives for me express in full about this so I'll just keep this short: I'm pissed. All that aside, I did manage to catch a bus to the PX and get most of the gear I actually need... like desert boots instead of cold weather insulated black boots... again, WTF?... Ah well, it is the military after all. I also get my laptop tomorrow, so hopefully by then I'll be able to actually get some pics up...
Oh yeah, my shoulder is still sore as hell... hmm.
