back to Iraq

"The other day we got to do some MORE training for urban warfare. This time with modified M4 assault rifles that fire "sim rounds." Which are basically paint balls that look like bullets. We got to do that all day and night, it was alot of fun. We recommended that we need to do it some more. Hopefully it will happen soon. Alot of our guns are now dead-lined. We had civilian armorer's come in and inspect all of our machine guns and assault rifles. Approximatly 80% of the were put on deadline. Meaning they cannot be fired until they are fixed. They said alot of the barrels were no good and needed new ones. Our own armorer's are talented enough to keep the guns up and running, but the better trained civilian weapon experts saw alot of flaws that our guys could not see. So, at least all of our guns will be in top condition when we go back to Iraq."
