My LTX Weekend

I don't really know what I should post about, so I guess I will tell you a little bit about my upcoming weekend.  This weekend I am headed to FT McCoy to conduct a Leadership Training Exercise (LTX) with the Army ROTC program.  As you can probably imagine, our training capabilities are limited on campus, so twice a year we go to FT McCoy for some more useful/realistic training.  The first day consists of day and night land navigation.  I like land nav because it is essentially a 4 hour nature walk by yourself during the day and then again at night.  The next day we are going to the range to qualify with both M16s and M9s.  After that we are going to do some grenade courses.  Finally, on Sunday we are going to repel from the 100 ft. repel tower and go through the obstacle course.  Yeah, they are long days, but it is what I love so I have a good time with it.
