Had a good ole jersey critter hike this afternoon. Lots of tick....they say this area is "black" on the CDC lime disease tracking map. Had to do land navigation and hit 5 way points buried deep in the wood. Had time on the walk to collect my thoughts and digest all the training days so far. I think the single biggest thing to say about this training is to get into a warrior mindset. Which is the absolute courage and willingness to engage anything any time any where. Its odd even to me with all my nuclear warfare training to basically have to have a plan to kill everyone I meet at the front of my mind. No one trusts an afghan nor fully turns their back or eyes on them. Those who have been over there have some very interesting stories to tell. You cannot constantly be on edge all Jumpy, but I am constantly drawing my pistol from holster and off safety to condition the muscles and get my hand eye coordination developed just in case my "worst day" comes strolling by.
