doing all of this ground stuff (squad in the o, etc etc..) makes options like that very tempting
Just got done with week 7 yesterday... bicouved on tuesday, 9 mile hump on friday, then did SULE II on saturday. Suprised they had us do SULE II this early, but they have to run Bravo and Delta companies through.... probably 2x the amount of OCC/PLC candidates here that they normally have
anyways... some kid got caught taking pictures with the flash on near dusk at the bivouc......

I remember doing SULE I in Srs. on a particularely hot day. My fireteam was on of the last to go, so it was at least 1000 when we started and climbing into black flag conditions. By the time I got back to the showers i was in a daze. I ran into a buddy of mine who was in Charlie company (I was in Golf).... he would later say that I look dazed and confused as I washed my muddy cammies... I know that I had stopped sweating about half way into it...... bad news. But hey, its all part of the fun!

I know the Quantico heat has to be bad in the summer, but how is it in the winter? The cold can fool you as far as hydration, I just wonder how many fall out of events due to heat in the cooler months? Good gouge on this topic. Keep it coming and keep kicking ass!
The Quantico heat is rather tolerable in winter. Seriously though, doing squad tactics in August sucked, but it was nowhere near as bad as our 3-Day War in January when were were required to dig fighting holes in the frozen ground while wearing Mickey Mouse boots. No, I don't harbor a lot of nostalgia for the ticks, humps, or "change the word" drills. And my TBS Company Commander was a rather reasonable guy: Captain (Major Sel) Jim T. Conway.
Wow. Mind if I ask what the 3-Day War was like? We step off for FEX III, the final field exercise save for Convoy and MOUT, on Monday. It'd be interesting to compare/contrast how times have changed/stayed the same.

The Cow was in TBS when they wore white t-shirts with their cammies and carried M-14s. His gouge on TBS is even older than mine. The current Commandant was one of his Captains, and he was the CO of TBS (Colonel) when I was in TBS.
Your mileage WILL vary......

WOW - that makes the COW almost as old as I am
So you don't sweep a Viet village during the 3 day war anymore?
I believe I'd be game for that!

When I was there it was "The 5 day war" and it was against the "Centralians".
Don't know who they fight these days.

Oh, of that I am certain! I just thought it'd be interesting to hear how TBS used to be.
