so I took my platoon out last week and we conducted some mountain training. our training consisted of a 4 mile round trip hike up a (at times) 60deg mountain trail while carrying a 30lb day pack. the peak that I took them to was around 6000ft asl. this was just a starter for them so I took it easy on them. our next trip will consist of full kit and heavier packs with real equipment, going up the other side of the mountain which has en elevation of 7500ft asl. during this trip they also learned how to properly set up security, terrain sketches, how to identify avenues of approach, etc. the back ground of this picture you can clearly see the border of the United States of America and Mexico.
So, Bobby...being the calculating trained warrior NCO that you are. Take the appropriate action, Execute!
your standard grunt level CQB is just putting rounds and rounds on scary stuff till it stops scaring you!
actually everyone there minus the guy with the black backpack is a fister, the dude with the black backpack is a medic born and raised in HI and is all about doing some mountain climbing stuff.
