Weapon familiarization

Today was the weapon familiarization day. Not a lot to report except that we got to play with all of the weapons that we use to play with, but have conveniently forgotten in the last few years. Especially for me. Some of these weapons I haven't played with in some time, while others are ones that I messed with just last month.

We had one particularly good instructor on the M2. Not only was his knowledge of the weapon and teaching techniques far superior to the other instructors we had, he kept our interest by using the colorful vernacular that only a seasoned Drill Sergeant has.

“This weapon only has two settings, kill slow and kill fast”
“It will strip the meat off ya”
“Don’t disrespect this weapon because it will knock the dummy dust off you.”
