No unlimited rounds here

I just got back from a 3 day long training exercise. It was very informative and I learned many things that will help me stay alive on the trip up north to Baghdad. We went over convoy operations and tactical stuff. Today we drove through a made up route with simulated obstacles with targets and stuff and were given different senarios. I was giving 400 rounds for my weapon. When we were done It hit me.. We don't have unlimite bullets like you do in the damn video games. Sounds pretty rediculous but I got a little excited and had a pretty heavy trigger finger. I felt like Rambo. So Note to self: Use only 6-9 round burts and don't keep your finger on the trigger.

There is this Suburban that drives around picking up the brass from our ammunition. They are paid by the military to keep the many ranges we have here in Kuwait clean. I saw them in action the other day. I counted 14 people that climbed out of this old 1980s model Suburban. No joke. Kuwaiti nationals. The Army has a lot of them working here on Camp Virginia. From food service, laundry, janitorial dutys and all.

My camera is offically dead. I broke the lcd screen the other day, but it was still able to take pictures even though I couldn't see any of the menus but now its totally dead. I need a camera.... I'll order one tomorrow.

Did i mention i sprained my ankle today? It was really stupid the way it happened. I was walking back to the tent this morning from the port-o-pottie and twisted my ankle on a damn rock. I still lugged my 80+ lbs of gear around today. I'm a trooper. Popped a few motron and went on my way. You never see Rambo crying about a damn sprained ankle =)

I saw a few camels in their natural habitat.
