We went to the urban assalt course and cleared rooms. Did a battle drill on how to approach a house and building how to deal with a 2 story building etc. Fired off tons of rounds, it was alright I messed up while in my search team, but hey I have forgiven myself and my DS told me to learn and move on so I have. Your your own worst critic. We went back to our camp (about 20 min bus ride) and then then fun started. We spent the next 5 hours fighting with other platoons. Ambushing, then getting ambushed. It was fun! Oh and we did the gas chamber again ( victory hammer is at same place as gas chamber) Our DS told us during chow that we are going to go through the what was left in gas chamber from earlier in the day and we were like oh crap that sucks and only our platoon was doing it (of course) but we decided, well most of us, that we would take our medicine and deal with it. Well he marched us up there and we walked through, not to bad, burning eyes, coughing, No runny nose yet so we had to turn around and go back through (no masks) then we look and another platoon is going to take our lead and do it too. So our DS took a CS granade (chokesmoke) riot control and dropped it in there without telling the other platoon so they went in it with some bad shit, way worse then we did because it is more concentrated then what we even did during our time in gas chamber. Well 2 other platoons went through so of course our DS said he wanted us to go through too but it was vouluntary this time. Well all but like 6 went again. I went again of course GO DIABLOS! Well this stuff is serious. I couldn't even keep my eyes open. It was some bad shit! WOWSERS and I did it voluntary. WOW I am crazy LMAO! Oh well we then got a chance to get a sponge bath and change clothes so that was cool. Well at bed time we got attacked for a while before we went to bed. Then found out me and my battle buddy had fireguard. Well I was talking to a male and he voluntered to take our fireguard so we were blessed by God. We did not have to do it and got great sleep it was awesome. Of course we woke up to incoming morter.
