Was your training like this? Mine was not. I remember a couple of white guys hiding in the woods firing a fake AK47 at me.

In early '05, my BDE from the 101st went to JRTC in Fort Polk, Louisiana. There was no fake blood and guts, but they did have real Iraqi's living in makeshift villages. "Good Good's" by day, and RPG's and IED's at night.
"Affectionately" referred to as The Box. Right. One E-6 told me he had been there seven times, and that he'd rather spend six months in Iraq than one at NTC. I didn't understand him until I spent min both, and he was right.
