We carried each others that couldn't keep up. If they couldn't they rode on the big truck AKA the Wardawg. As for BRM just relax and do as told by the DS. Find your sweet spots (comfortable positions).

This is just me 2 cents that worked for me. I had trouble all through BRM until qual day. I have been shooting and hunting since I was 6, the army way of shooting was'nt working for me and on qual day the DS just told me shoot the **** gun like it was my deer rifle. I threw the breathe, aim , sqeeze out the window and just pointed the gun and shot, I shot a 36 out of 40. This worked for me probably not the best if you've never shot before just listen to the ds they know what they are doing.

[QUOTE=KentuckyGirl]with the run, i heard they make you run one less lap, who knows..

it would suck to complete everything at basic, the 10 mile hike etc and fail because of a run.. they prob don't want to do paperwork..[/QUOTE]
that is BS. if you can't pass your pt test, you won't graduate. if you failed the final test, you took a make-up during family day (and thus were not allowed to go hang out with your families). this happened to 2 guys in my platoon. if you failed the make-up, you became a hold-over. this happened to 1 of those guys. the hold-overs basically stay with the company until a new cycle starts, cleaning and getting everything ready. never heard from them again.

we had 3 hold-overs who were still in my company (when my cycle started) who had failed the final pt test. they basically shadowed our platoons, since they had qualified on everything else, and were like assistants to the DSs. When we took a PT test, they took theirs. The first test, two of them passed, and left. The 3rd one didn't pass until our final test. he was a nice guy, but just didn't have the heart to push himself during pt. hadn't seen his wife in 4 or 5 months. it pays to run.

Maybe that is why he was a holdover? Wanted to bank BHA and not go back to the ole battle ax!:eek:

Just do what you're taught, think through the steps each time you shoot. Is my cheek where it should be? Am I breathing correctly? Is the rifle in my shoulder pocket? Think through the basics.

And don't be like the retard in our platoon, who after a few days of shooting bad just decided to move his rear-sight apature to the middle because he thought that would make it more accurate. Yeah good thinking...

I always know if I grouped well by where my brass fell. If I had 3 within the same saucer plate size area, then I know it was pretty tight. If I had 2 and one about a foot out, I knew I had a flyer. Just relax and dont overthink it.
