Following breakfast, those of us who were eligible and willing to donate blood went to the donor center. While we waited to donate, we watched a movie, "Inglourious Basterds," and after donating, we got COOKIES and JUICE!!! We all felt like crap that afternoon from eating the cookies, but they were so good.
The cool part about the donating is that we donated to the Armed Services Blood Donation Program. It is strictly for military and their families. So in a week, my blood could be in Afghanistan saving the life of a wounded soldier.
The buddy team tactics, where you advance in pairs to a firing point, will be taught using live rounds next week. So we used time today to practice without rounds. None of us really want to get shot or shoot a battle buddy.
We still haven't phased to blue, but hopefully that will happen soon. Discipline has slowly improved within our platoon, but a company has to phase up together. At least that's how it works here.
