 Hey, what's his problem? I was about to adjust it. Corporal Spencer Sevchuk, 0-341 sectional leader for Charlie Mortars, Victor 1-2. So the training going on today is really getting back into the brilliance of the basics. So working on the cover concealment, the frag barrel drills, working on your marksmanship and your ability to maneuver and move while actually firing, also communication and trying to find a way where we can use less calm and more focus on like hand and arm signals. Focusing less on using calm, well it can be hacked by let's say a near peer enemy. So we're trying to work on hand and arm signals, waiting for something to happen in reaction for us to do something. Just getting back to the basics. This is, we're looking more into like jungle warfare now. Currently today there's three stations. We have focusing on cover concealment, so what can we do to hide better? And then there's frag barrel drills and rocket barrel drills. And then there's an actual couple of CP shoots that we're going on, so nothing too crazy just getting back into the basics. The most physical part of it is the heat, because you know you're in 99, something degrees out here, it's probably the hottest it's been in Jacksonville, North Carolina. And you're moving, I mean my platoon alone, we haven't stopped moving since, oh, 3.30 this morning. We were already marching like three miles with heavy weapons, just going over to this new range. But mental it's just like kind of keeping yourself, kind of training yourself to keep on going. And nothing matters, just get the task done, do the job, do it right. Currently I'm a sectional leader for the 0341-60mm Mortarman. They operate an aligned company and they're able to maneuver with 11s. So probably the biggest difficulty with the job is how to treat a 41 and an 11 the same like, same skill, the same mindset. Because I mean 0331s they always operate with the 11s, they're always you know with the riflemen, they're always maneuvering with them, well no one knows what a Mortarman honestly does besides mortars. So trying to like keep everyone in the same loop is a very tasking job. So Charlie companies currently out here since Monday is going on until Friday. And we have pretty much assignments and tasks that we have to get accomplished every single day doing a new event. Pretty much seeing how, what is going, what's wrong with us fundamentally as well as what individual skills we can do to improve. It's good to kind of step back and go, alright I know all this advanced stuff and I've done this for years but like what can I do to improve my guys, what can I do to improve myself, so when I do face a near peer enemy I'll be ready for it. And they gave me five junior Marines and they were like, you're a sexual internet out, you're going to lead these Marines and that was something new for me because I never had a peer besides myself to worry about besides like my senior Marines that I watched over me growing up. So we were able to flip it around and somehow from their determination, my determination we were able to come together as a family, honestly, and we probably the lead effort in our battalion with the 60s which was amazing. I was very proud of them. So my biggest failures were turned into my biggest accomplishments because after my second deployment I was able to go to advanced school again with my two squad leaders I personally trained and we all passed flying colors and one two showed aim, see what was up. So that was pretty, that was pretty awesome. So with this training, especially that's the fact that it's going to be summer really soon, the weather's up, we're constantly doing stations, we're constantly learning new things to improve our lethality as well as it's kind of opening up our minds like what else can we do to improve on it. So this training right here is kind of like creating ideas I think. My battalion commander we just got, he said that I might be a smart man but in the room of all you Marines I'm probably, I'm not going to be able to outsmart all of you. We're smart as a unit, as a group. So it doesn't matter if you're ranking, you can be a Staff Sergeant, you can be a Corporal, you can be a PFC. Training like this and we have time and we have just hours of grinding. You're going to think of something that's going to be very beneficial for the battalion. I don't go heavily by doctrine. I'm like, hey these written words, we're going to hammer that. That's law. I go, if you have an idea, if you have something that even I didn't think of, you tell me. It doesn't matter if you're a junior Marine or senior Marine, our ability that I guess be creative with how we want to employ our weapons systems is probably our greatest strength and any Marine that I've ever led has always even given me an idea not of use and it was usually effective and if it failed then let's see what happened that we can prevent that failure. So that was awesome. I'm very impressed by their ability to free think and not be robotic. My Marines move faster, think smarter and train harder. Hypothetically, there's a conflict of war. My Marines will be ready.
