I don't have long to write, but I'll give a quick update on what's going on. Apparently, our company isn't disciplined enough to progress to White Phase, so they took away our personal time and told us we couldn't write letters. Pretty lame. No sign that we'll be in White Phase any time soon. We'll still continue on the same training schedule- we just don't get any additional "privileges" like personal time and maybe phone calls. We're also still stuck being punished as a group instead of individuals - that's probably the worst part. Morale is low because of all this too. There's just a few people holding the rest of the company back.
We started basic rifle marksmanship on Friday. Monday we went to a simulated range that used replicas of our M16's attached to a pneumatic system to simulate the recoil of the weapon. The back wall of the range was filled with a screen that shows the targets - the rest is like a video game. At the end it shows all kinds of cool stats about each shot.
