M-2 Range

Yesterday our track went out to the M-2, 50 Caliber Range and the weather cooperated once again. We either fired on the fan fire range or fired on the qualification tables. The soldiers enjoyed and it was nice to see some of the younger soldiers getting a chance to fire the 50 Cal. As part of the concurrent training we received some great hands on training on foreign weapons. We were able to handle disassemble, assemble and do functions checks on the, AKM rifle, the PKM machine gun, Dragonov Sniper Rifle and the RPG. Later in the evening some of the soldiers were able to fire on the night qualification range unfortunately the range was cut short when there was a power failure and it was unable to be fixed and we left at 1245 am for the barracks.

I have to run and eat dinner before we headoff to clean the machine guns this evening.
