Well, you haven't heard from me in a while. That's because I was home on leave, followed by busy at training, and now packing my bags once again for a trip to the less pleasant parts of the world.

I got to handle and fire some of the gnarliest military hardware of my career (M249, M240B, and .50 cal, for those who are familiar), and even learned a great deal of valuable marksmanship skills which I can take home to use on my personal hardware. The course was generally designed to provide weapons familiarity and basic combat training to people like me, who aren't exactly the kind of people you'd expect to see kicking in doors. It was extremely beneficial and informative, and gave me the confidence and basic skills necessary to defend myself in the potentially hazardous situations one can occasionally wind up in while forward deployed on the ground.
