Well, I cant imagine really how college finals feel but let me tell you about Marine Corp finals. Monday, I had a PFT at 0500 in pt shorts and skivvy shirt. Lost my balls. Got a 286/300 PFT score. Then went and took a final exam on our two weapons systems, the 81mm and 60mm mortars. Tuesday, had live fire with the 60's mike mike mortar and those bitches are stressful because you have to do all your XP's just right or else you compromise safety and get pulled off the range. After the live fire we went back to the squadbay, grabbed our full packs and went to MOUT town for two sleepless days of room clearing, attacks and digging weapons positions and mortor pits. Finally after the BSRE where we put it all into action with the 11's calling in support and us fighting off attacks by 2nd platoon of 11's posing as hadjis we finally packed our gear, filled our holes and went home. Then came 7 hours of weapons cleaning and field day. Then I pulled firewatch. Today I graduated ITB and am going home after 5 months in Southern California spent in training. I worn out and looking forward to sleep and Christmas cheer.
Good luck with the finals you all, trust me...you can make it.
Love you all...
