Wait to Rush, Rush to Wait

Was in the middle of shooting live rounds in the first detail, when my warrant officer asked me to stop and go to Foxtrot company to throw live grenade. Happened to be on time to practise my throwing of the dummy grenade and was attached to the last detail 44, bay 4. What a nice number.


After some deafening noise, I immediately went back to have a hurried lunch, finished my live range and went back to join Leopard company (deja vu) for their 16km route march. The Leopards seem to have a very high morale, always marching at a quick pace. I trudged on, despite the fact that I might sleep while marching. Was very tired after sleeping at 2 am for the previous night after night shoot. Last time, Scorpions and Whiskeys marched together; this time I was with Mohawks.


Was thoroughly exhausted after completing these 3 major events in 1 day.
