I'm Driving My Life Away

The past two days... HMMWV (that's HUM-VEE, to you and me) training. Yesterday was mostly classroom and doing the PMCS (that's a long, drawn out inspection). Today, however, was another story.

Today was all driving. The first half of the day was driving through cones in four different stations. There was the serpentine (zig-zagging in and out of cones, then reversing through the same course), back-up (between cones that were not much wider than the vehicle), diminished curve (which starts out wide and gets more narrow as you curve to the left), and the stop (in which you have to get the vehicle up to 30 mph and then slam on the brakes and stop in an expected space). They were all pretty fun.



The last half of the day was just plain driving... way out these dusty desert roads. It was pretty relaxing.

Then went to the gym and topped it off with burning 300 calories. (Obviously, I'm much better than I was a few days ago.)


Talk at you later,
