This last week was BWT - Basic Warrior Training. The recruits do a lot of crawling around on the ground, running through the trees, more crawling around at night. They also spend the week in tents. Several graduates have said that BWT week in whole is more difficult then the Crucible.
We saw a note from on coach on the shooting range, posted on the marine parents message board, that indicated that all november company recruits had qualified on Saturday. This was different from the first qualification which was done on static targets at 200, 300 and 500 yards. The Saturday qualification was on moving targets at what I'm sure were shorter distances. As I understand it from my daughters earlier letter they are allowed to count any points over 60 onto their first qualification score. So I know she was hopeing to pick up the 5 points needed to move up to the Sharpshooter ranking.
We finalized our order for graduation t-shirts and the days seem to be flying by now.
