Woke up at 0400. Got transit to the range at 0500. We got there pretty early, so we had about an hour until 0630. Breakfast was short because we were scheduled to be on the first convoy. Couldn't finish the French toast, eggs, and half-banana, but I didn't manage the biscuit and gravy, tater tots, miniwheats, bread, OJ and milk.The convoy live fire exercise was kind of like a roller coaster ride that you get graded on -- yeah, it's fun, but it'd be better without someone looking over your shoulder. All in all, it was pretty silly -- to controlled to be worth it, especially since no one does this sort of thing in theater anyway.
From ten to one o'clock I did guard duty, which was just standing around, looking busy. For lunch I had a chicken quarter, bread, rice w/gravy, lettuce, pasta salad, cake!, and an apple, but apart from the cake, nothing exciting.
I then waited around for two hours and tried to keep a low profile before we came back on the deuce in groups of 18. We did a heat dump (cold shower to reduce core temperature), remade out beds (Thursday), and went to chow.
For dinner we had chili mac (good), rice, roll, broccoli, corn, 1 apple wedge, and pasta salad. I got my choco du jour, too -- yay! Got a letter from SY, too, which made a decent day into a great one. Got to bed by 8:00, but most stayed up by flashlight beyond that.
