2nd Platoon,
As you should be very aware Gauntlet begins Monday and will be the culmination
of everything we've learned in this course.
Formation will be at the Motor pool with everything we are taking, exactly how
we formed up for STX. Currently the uniform we will be wearing to the Motor
pool will be, ACUs, gloves, eyepro, camelbak, FLC, and patrol cap. If this
changes I will let you know.
BE IN FORMATION BY 0530!!! Squared away and ready to go, so I suggest arriving
at 0500.
We’ll probably be sitting around for quite a while just like every other time
we have been staging at the motor pool, so feel free to bring some snacks. I’ll
do my best to let us make some sort of breakfast run, but I cannot promise
anything.
We will get a chance to shower halfway through the exercise so make sure you
bring shower supplies.
We’ll do our best to cover down for each other and make sure that everyone is
taken care of, that being said, do try to go out of your way to bring something
you KNOW will be useful to yourself and others. Like when Berkowitz brought
all those map boards, and Plasencia brought the laminated poster boards.
