Today was a combination of two of my favorite things: shooting and maps/orienteering. The morning was the final qualification with our rifles. It included team movement, move and shoot drills, transition/weapon failure drills, and the actual qualification course. After another gourmet lunch of Subway, the afternoon was a crash course in map reading/interpretation. (Nancy- all the hours of helping you teach the Maps class came in handy.) followed by an introduction to orienteering. Tomorrow morning will be a full orienteering event. It has been a hoot of a week.

Fun! I remember the first time I did a mobile range; it was with shotguns and we were running with MPs, I was like "whoa - targets that are *hiding*! semi-concealed! in unpredictable places!" Whaddaya know. They did not, however, shoot back. :)
Oh, and land nav was one of my faves, too! Glad you are having fun. Bob and I are amassing goodies for the first shipment to you as soon as we get your address in country. Gotta run - Jenn
