Paul's Letter 6 June 15
Hey everyone,
Hope you guys are good, and hope
you guys are enjoying your summer. I’m
stuck here but I am having fun now. So I
know you guys are running kind of a week or so behind on my letters, so I’ll
tell you what I did last week and this week.
We were on the range shooting, then Thursday was practice qualification
and there are 4 different categories to them, actually 5. There’s the unqualified which is 0-22-fail,
then 23-30 is marksman which is army standard for the Army Infantry, then 31-35
is sharpshooter which is good, then 36-40 is expert. All the shooting qualifications are out of
40. If you hit 40 out of 40 it’s deadeye
which Fort Benning has produced 4 so far.
I shot a 37 last Friday for the qualification on Friday, and in the
morning we did the 8 mile ruck march.
Passed my physical fitness test by a lot, got a 248 out of 300 so that’s
pretty good. I could possibly pick up a
special forces contract, or an option 40 contract (Rangers) but not sure if
I’ll take it. I want to deploy
sooner.
to be continued
