  • It's Me Again!

    Hey dudes! What's happening? It looks like all my efforts to catch up have been for nought, since there's way too much for me to catch up on, so I've decided that I'm periodically gonna give you guys an update on what's happening.

    Weapons training: I've been through three days of weapons training, apprehension, warning and directing forces. I went to the range twice to shoot M-16A1's. The shooting is split up into three sets: 5 bullets fired one at a time, 15 bullets fired in three round bursts, i.e., three pulls of the trigger, and 10 bullets with two backwards casings inserted at random to induce gun jamming. The first time I got 5-5, 8-15, and 6-10 for a total of 19 out of 30. The second time I got 5-5, 14-15, and 9-10 for a total of 28-30 and currently tied for first place in marksmanship for the second day at the range, though not in total. I'm also one of the fastest guys in the whole group at clearing the three main types of gun jams.

    My birthday was this past Thursday, Sep. 9. Thankx to all the guys that sent congrats! I'm now officialy an adult, and I've got a bottle of vodka chillin in the freezer for Sat. night.

    Randoms: I broke up with my girlfriend a while ago, and am now currently in the beginning stages with three different girls, all in the Jerusalem/Gush Etzion area. Further developments to follow. I'll send invites to the wedding ;)

    Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year, Yom Kippur, the Jewish Day of Atonement and Sukkot, the Holiday of Tabarnacles are coming up. I wish everyone hear a Happy new Year, and I beg forgiveness from anyone and everyone I might have harmed over the past year.

    Thankx, and that's it for all at the mo. Check you guys later.

      The three types of gun jam we learned are identified by where the piece which slides the bullet in is located (I know the name in Hebrew, but i don't know it in English). If it's forward, then the magazine isn't properly inserted or isn't fully in. In this case you smack the magazine into place and cock the weapon. The second is if it's in the middle. In this case you drop the magazine, cock the gun twice, insert the magazine, cock again and keep shooting. The third is if it's all the way in the back. That means you're out of ammo. You insert a new magazine and press the button on the left side of the gun (Again, I know the name in Hebrew, but i don't know it in English)

          He may even miscalculate and slide these weapons off to terrorist groups to invite them to be a surrogate to use them against the United States. It’s the miscalculation that poses the greatest threat-John Kerry
