Home is not on the Range

Apr 29, 2008 20:23

So today was a range day. My company is a cluster fuck pro so it went just as everyone thought. Poorly planned and half assed...big surprise. Anyways I had already zeroed my weapon, qualified, and finished reflexive fire so I had no reason to really be there. They made me go anyways.

It was pretty chilly this morning at 0530 when I had to be out to draw my weapon, alot colder than expected anyways. Once we got to the range we pretty much just did the normal sit around for 2 hours until everyone gets there. Let me tell you...this is not fun...especially in full battle rattle ( Bullet proof vest aka IBAS or IOTV, Kevlar, and other misc. shit I'll never use). Plus it starts to get fuckin hot as balls out.

Zeroing sucked because I'm not used to wearing glasses doing it and the new vest fuckin blows for prone shooting. I had to go twice which is a pain because I usually get zeroed in the first 6 shots and I'm done. Anyways...once that was finished at about 0900 I got to sit around and wait to do reflexive fire at like fucking 1630. It was quick and painless...stupid because the way they did it was way half-assed. Oh yeah and I forgot to mention they didn't bring enough MREs for everyone...piss poor planning.

Anyways, I'm dead beat and sunburnt...I'm gonna go sit around until I pass out.

Take it easy =D
