Weapons Races...
Two days ago, we worked with the M240G Machine Gun (7.62mm for you military
types) and the Squad Automatic Weapon (SAW, 5.56 mm). These weapons are
organic to our platoon, but we practiced disassembling and assembling them.
Most of the Marines in the Wolfpack are extremely fast at doing this, so we
had races.
Most of the time, the Marines out here just head to classes and training
evolutions with no excitement at all. But when there's a competition on the
table, the intensity definitely steps up.
Top left, you'll see Cpl Doan and LCpl Armstrong working on the SAW at their
own pace. Top right, Cpl Sullivan, LCpl Legere, and Cpl Martinez raced
dissassembling and then assembling the SAW. Bottom left, two squads match
up in a relay race on the SAW. Bottom right, LCpl Miller and LCpl Lopez
work on the SAW at their own pace. <>
