When I reunited with 2nd Platoon, Bravo Company on Day 2 of their CLDT Offensive training lane, all the platoon members seemed to be in great spirits. And why not? When I left them on Friday, they were just beginning their rest and refit period after being out in the field for 96 hours on their Movement-to-Contact exercise. "R&R was awesome," said a smiling Jaime Molacek '14, the Platoon Sergeant during today's rotation, "we got over eight hours of sleep!" After performing weapons maintenance, the members of the platoon also had an opportunity to take a hot shower and eat a hot meal. The menu included burgers, chicken, and salad, but as Kyle Gicewicz '15 said, "Anything would have been better than an MRE!" Now the platoon was in its patrol base planning a raid on a DIABLO compound.
