We started off on Monday morning with an alert call around 3:20 A.M. and were told there would be a formation at 4:30. I was already up because I didnt go to sleep the night before. There were 5 chalks that we left in spaced out by about 15 mins. My team and two others rolled out to Camp Spann, which was nowhere but behind our company offices. Once we arrived we had to set up all our equipment and get into the network. Then we were told that we didnt finish all of our certifications and that we would certifying on Tuesday. We accomplished that and became 100% certified.
I was on night shift which was 7pm-7am and on Wednesday around 2pm when I was deep in my sleep we were told that we had to jump to another site. So I had to get up and we had to tear down all of our equipment and move to the new site. It was about 10:45pm when were fully operational at the new site which I cant remember the name of it.
Thursday was pretty much an easy day but Friday we were told at 5am that we had to jump again only this time it was the same site just in a different area, wasnt happy about that but complaining isnt gonna do anything we still have to do our jobs. The job was too bad and we were in bed by 9am and around 5pm we found out the exercise was sucessful and that we were going home that night. If it had not been sucessful we were gonna be out there until Sunday so everyone was happy about that.
There were some complications with weapons and a few other things so we didnt leave our motor pool until 2:45 A.M. it was still better than being in the field.
The morale was down this week lot of tensions flared, lot of anger, arguing and stuff thats just not good for us as we prepare to head down range. I just stay positive and try not to loose my cool about anything, its just not worth it.
MRX 2 is this week we will we doing weapons training and drivers trainng Hummvee rollover training all the "fun" stuff thats not really fun.
Thanks for reading.
