Hey Everyone,

So I know you want to hear about this. LOL! We are doing nothing but BRM (Basic Rifle Marksmanship). The last few days having worked on the fundamentals of BRM. Steady position, breath, control, trigger, squeez and sight picture. We are however, shooting off 50 live rounds each. Right now we are zeroing our M68 cco (close combat optics) scope. We are getting it down to where we are nailing our target dead on. There is a little kick, cuz it's a 5.56 mm caliber rifle.

My buddy Davies zero'd in yesterday, and was so dead on that a quarter could not fit through. DS Huntley is talking to him about sniper school because snipers have to, and can only hit in a quarter size target. That's what I'm going for, plus, I'm going for my expert riflemans badge. Which means I neet to hit 36 of 40 targets. My rifle is way outta wack. But, all I need to do tomorrow is adjust it, and it will all be good. It's fun and amazing, and I can't wait to somehow take a picture and show you how I look. LOL I'm pretty sexy in my ACU's, IBA and with my M4 Carbine (all combat uniform and individual body armor). Well, I thought you would love to hear about it.

I will let you know how I do when we go back to the range on Tuesday. Monday we are doing my favorite thing. Land navigation. And from what I hear, we are camping/staying the night out there :) I'm very excited about that cuz then we eat nothing but MREs. YESSSS!!! My favorite meals. They are the best. You should buy some if you can find them. You guys would like them. Either that or I will buy some. LOL.

Anyways, I have to go, it's time for dinner. Chow. MMMMMMM.......

I love you guys

Love Always,

Ryan
