Army Basic Training 28 – Ft. Jackson – 2001

It’s 0230 hours, pulling CQ guard.  23 of 40 shots is qualifying for marksmanship.  And half of us didn’t make it.  I didn’t for one cuz I was uncomfortable with prone unsupported position, and in lane 13, the 100 m target was impossible to see under so much shade.  I’m praying I do well today.  I’ve never prayed so hard before…
