CQB @ Blackwater

Simunitions rifle, a lot like paint ball, just more painfull!!!



Getting ready to fight!!

Dont get on the business end of my rifle!!

Training if going great, I cant wait to be done. I will be home in less than 2 weeks!!

Breaching at Blackwater

Using the "Key to the City", very fun!

Brocco Torch, 10,000 degrees at the tip!

Would not be fun to be on the other side of this door!

This was a pretty fun class. I have IED and Radiation training Thursday and Friday, then Close Quarter Combat training Saturday thru Friday, should be fun.

Blackwater Repelling course

First jump of the day, 60' repel with a Gri-Gri set up.


First inverted jump, a lot harder then it looks!!!

Climbing out, 60' up.

This was probally some of the best training yet, besides the weapons courses of course. It is amazing how a fear of heights go away when you have 1 little rope attached to you. Well once tomorrow is breaching so I will have more pics soon.

Blackwater Training

Taking a break from loading M4 mags at Blackwater.

Well, 3 more weeks to go! I have lots more pictures but for some reason the downloader on this site is not working today. I shot over 5000 rounds of M4 and 9MM rounds last week. I have Container Climbing and Breaching course starting Monday and then we go into the fun stuff, Close Quarter Combat training. I will post more pics when I can.
