Is it possible to run with a 80 lbs pack? Yes. Does it suck? Oh Ya. :)

Hey everybody!
Good Fast week, this week. Not a lot of time to write so it'll a fast one this time! :)
Sunday 10/28 - Liberty Secured at 2000, went to bed at 2030.
Monday 10/29 - Lights at 0430. Class on Patrolling. Actually patrolled (walked around, sooooooo much fun. ;) ) PT. Rack at 2030.
Tuesday 10/30 - Lights at 0430. Patrol XP. Got main pack and hiked up the Alpha shelf and set up a Patrol base. On security most of night. Around 9 went to COC, radio.
Wed 10/31 - Moved from radio to an LP/OP Listening and Observation Post for all morning. Then moved the PB. Found a guy in the platoon that knew the song, Hey Baby, freaking awesome. :D Held security again. Finally got on QRF, Quick Reaction Force, which means you get to sleep if there's nothing to do. And guess what ... yep there was something to do. Lol. The LP/OP needed a resupply of water. So we did that and had an hour and half left of QRF. So I pulled out my Scriptures and read a little bit. Best feeling ever! Reading my Scriptures while in flax and Kevlar with my rifle in the hills of camp pendlton, amazing! Got some sleep, while that happened we got "attacked"by our instructors. Then we were put back on COC.
Thurs 11/1 - moved to another hill. Briefed on tomorrow's mission. Weapons maintenance. Rack 1830
Fri 11/1 - lights 0500. patrol mission with live rounds. Went back to the barracks. Weapons maintenance. Liberty.
