And he's outta there........(Or hi ho, ho ho, it's off to work I go.)

     Hello again, from White world.  This last week was interesting and filled with chills and thrills.
     On Monday, we had the book lessons on firing Revolvers, Rifles, and Shotguns.  I'll admit it's been over 14 years since I've even thought of picking up a firearm.
     It was refreshing to know that I haven't lost my touch with the revolver.  On the beam his, I scored 170%, and didn't get to practice the beam hits with the rifle, since the laser was out of alignment. 
     On Tuesday, we went to the range and held the first round qualifications with the weapons.  I scored 0 hits with the AR-15, and that was because it was the first time I'd ever even held one, much less fired one.  On the revolver, I did good.  I hit 28 out of 30 hits from 3 yards, 7yards and 9 yards.  The Shotgun was easy, since I've fired 12 gauges before.
     On Wednesday, we requalified with the AR's and I hit 8 out of 10 shots.  Needless to say the evil target was dead.
      On Thursday, we did the final PAT/DT class and I brought my push ups up from 13 to 21, my sit ups from 20 to 31, my squats at 25, and had a better score before the run.  I did cut 1 minute off of my 1/4 mile, coming in at 2minutes 27 seconds.
     On Friday, myself and 7 of my cohorts got the priviledge of cleaning the revolvers from the qualifications on Tuesday and Wednesday.
       That afternoon at 2:00pm, we were sworn in as Correction Officers for the State of Texas, and on Monday, we start our first day behind the chainlink fence. 
        I'll let you know how it goes from there.
