Rifle range and TBI


Alright...Monday I went down to Camp Lejeune again to finish up my rifle qualification. It's called 'Table 3' and consisted of firing a total of 110 rounds from the M4 rifle at 25 yards or closer. Once we started shooting, it only took maybe 15 minutes to complete. With the safety briefs, explanations and the drive down and back, it ended up being a pretty full day. I'm posting a small picture of the range. I know it's not very good...I'm not going to be 'that guy' taking pictures of everything.

On Tuesday, I again traveled down to Camp Lejeune to complete a computerized brain test. Basically they test basic functions like responsiveness, short-term memory and speed so that they have a 'baseline' test in the system. Then if I ever encounter a concussion or PTSD during the deployment, they'll test me again and compare the two tests. Once I found the testing room at Lejeune, the test only took about 10 minutes to complete.
Today (Wednesday), I didn't have anything scheduled. I ended up exchaning my digital camera at Wal-Mart, shopping at the Exchange (on-base store), organizing some of my gear and stopping at Medical. I had to stop at Medical because I had paronychia. Basically they just stabbed the heck out of my finger and squeezed some fluid out of it. Good times (not really). I tried to post a video of my room (taken with my new camera) here, but it took forever to upload. So I posted it on youtube and you can view it by clicking here.
Tomorrow I will run the Combat Fitness Test (CFT) at 8am. And that's all that is officially on the schedule for tomorrow.
