This week started out fairly low key. We had to do SRP (soldier readiness processing) which is basically a process that double checks all of our data. It ensures our medical and dental information is up to date and makes sure we have all of our immunizations. We also went to CIF to draw equipment needed for week 3 when we were out in the field. We were issued things like wet weather gear, gortex jacket and pants (why we get gortex and wet weather gear is beyond me-they serve the same purpose), a poncho, ruck sack from the Vietnam era:
and LBE:
We also get an amazing three layer sleep system (sleeping bag), eye protection, ear protection, rubber boots that go over our actual boots that are three sizes too big and used for when it gets super muddy, a neck gaiter, gloves, magazines for our weapon, and other odds and ends.
