A Day in the Life of 2nd Platoon
Each Platoon has its own personality. I will try and capture each platoon through pictures from members of the platoon and myself. Most of the following pictures where taken by Sgt. M.
Some mornings we start the day with combatives, a mixture of martial arts and wrestling. Since we wrestle each other, the guys have their own name for the training... "Man love Wednesday" or man love Thursday or what ever day you have combatives. The name derives from an apparent phenomenon we will encounter overseas.
SPC. C participates in medical evacuation techniques even if he did not want to.
One of the boys scratches his helmet as he tries to figure out his shot grouping on the zero range.
Here is an example of how NOT to pull security in the rear of the HMMV.
Who is pulling security for this guy? And do not get any on your armor.
SPC B. executes Battle Drill 13B, "React to fire fire ants." SPC H. offers moral support.
When you are in the turret the idea is to have your head outside of the vehicle.

Dave, we are thinking of you and praying for you. I enjoy reading your posts. You're not far from the minds of all of us back home. Thank you for serving. Don't let that caterpillar get the best of you!
Godspeed, men. We can't thank you enough for what you do for all Americans. Keep your heads down, keep your powder dry, and we'll be there to greet you when you come home.
