Day 88: Not a whole lot happened today. We did have a short class on Mark 1 kits. For those of who may not know about these, they are a last resort survival tool. Should a Nerve Agent get spread around, you take one of these kits and inject yourself in the legs. Fun times. We got to practice with the training shots.
The rest of the day we prepared for EMT class, and ended our day with a Ralph Drill:
Wave two 1 3/4" hose lines 100 times (50 per arm), run to the other end of gym, pick up weights and seal walk back carrying the weights, run back to the other end, pull a weighted dummy across the gym via a rope, pull the dummy back to the other side, end the drill with 50 sit-ups.
Day 89: Today we started the day helping Captain pack away the Haz-Mat Suites. We then were told by Chief to head to the gym for dress outs. We did two dress outs, each time he would check us to make sure everything was in it's proper place. After my second one, he said "Good Job Mr. Keene..." It was nice to hear that. I'm sure all of us appreciated that. We then dressed out one more time, and headed out to the drill ground. There we climbed the tower, walked around the ventilation station, climbed up a ladder, and then went through the confinement tubes (something we have all wanted to do).
We then headed back into the classroom for some Haz Mat test preparation. Apparently we have more Haz-Mat to cover.
After lunch (and a nice dark nap in the classroom), Chief went over some slides and then went into some of his "war" stories. It was very interesting to hear his experiences.
We ended the day in PT with Lieutenant. We even had an audience.
Tomorrow...I think EMT starts...
