WEBISODE 8

Set in an urban training environment, trainees learn how to safely enter and clear buildings.

Alejandro: Lately our primary objective has been Urban Operations, which is where we learn to clear buildings, clear rooms and watch each other’s backs.

Alejandro: You don’t know what’s going to hit you what’s coming, I mean, whether you’re the first man or the last man you just don’t know what’s gonna happen. I trust myself now. Our Drill Sergeants are very thorough, our First Sergeant was very thorough are Captain is very thorough when it comes to all this training because even though it is a big responsibility I can handle it way better than a regular civilian can.

Wilk: Well this week, we’ve had a change from when we first got here.

Comparing our first APFT to our final APFT, which, was today; I did better in each event.

Alejandro: My favorite is the run; your lungs are hurting, your legs are hurting but you just keep staring forward, breathing in-and-out and your fine and it’s my favorite, cause I zone out.

Alejandro: I am looking forward to our final training exercise because it means that all the stuff we’ve learned, all the stuff we were taught in basic ii’s coming to a wrap and we’re going to see if we know it, and I feel very confident that I do and I can’t wait.
