Drivers Ed was never like this

2 OCT
Cool day of training. The morning was spent in a simulator that demonstrates what it’s like to be in a HUMVEE that’s been hit by an IED. Once it rolls over 180-degrees, the team of four has :20 seconds to unbuckle, fall to the roof and make their way out the nearest operating exit. After that, we spent the afternoon shooting M-16s on a “virtual” shooting range. Not to brag, but it only took me nine shots to qualify in the virtual world. Tomorrow, it’s off to the real range.
