 We had a convoy come through, we had an RPG hit that convoy, when that happened we had all the doors open and we wrecked them. The 850 First Transportation Company conducted convoy training today during their annual training at Fort McCoy. They are taking part in a combat support training exercise where they are tested on various warrior tasks and skills while in a simulated combat environment. Today, skills like maneuvering a convoy, reacting to contact, and administering first aid were tested. Soldiers from the 850 First said, as reservists, this is some of the most important training they can get. Normally, they only get together one week in a month, now they have a full two weeks to get together and actually build camaraderie. It's more like classroom training back home, like sharp training, EO training, just classroom stuff. Here you actually drive and turn wrenches, literally you do your job here compared to back home. While valuable to the soldiers getting tested, those conducting the training benefited as well. Since we're doing the same thing over and over and over, I try to just make sure that I'm doing proper holds, like when I'm on that window, making sure I'm doing the secret, making sure I'm doing proper mag changes, proper bursts, stuff like that.
