Fort McCoy is very hot today. About 100 degrees today (July 31). It was 87 degrees in our barracks last night at 0200. Had a busy weekend. Yesterday we went to FOB Freedom and did the high crawl, low crawl, and the 3-5 second rush stuff. It was exhausting because we had done a five mile march in full kit the previous day and had taken a PT test the day before that. We also learned how to exit a vehicle under fire. It rained during the morning so the temperature was quite pleasant. Then we did a detainee ops class in an air conditioned room, where we froze our keesters off. The lunch hour finally arrived, but the G staff hijacked our bus so they could eat lunch (they were in a class all day & weren't wet, cold, &c.). So we sat in the mud and ate MREs while the sun came out and baked the mud into our clothes, armor, weapons, &c. Then it was off to the grenade range where we threw little bombs at fake people. We wrapped up the day at about 1600.
