Get off you "brass"

4 OCT
We spent a long, sweaty day on the pistol range today. After we shot all our rounds, I qualified as an “expert.” What the Army failed to tell us is that after we were done shooting, we needed to pick up and account for all the brass casings. We spent just as many hours digging through the grass looking for all the spent rounds as we did shooting them. All of this we did, by the way, in full body armor. I think I dropped 5 pounds of water weight by days end.
