Sorensen Stories

Hello, every one just got out of the field was there for about two weeks with a refit in between so it is nice to be home.

As you can see we had all four seasons in one day! The only problem was that the ground was mushy, but it was fun.

The top picture is of Spc. Davis this was the "practice" for the night fire operation that we had to do. We had to run and shoot at night in the woods it was fun but a really long day!

The second picture was a "stress" shoot we had to do we had to run down climb the wall then run back it was very tiring, having to shoot when you are breathing really hard and hit the target is fun. I got 48 out of 50 points pulled one shot to the left but that is ok some people didn't even hit the target, so I did pretty good!

We also did convoy operations, we would drive down the road and get hit with a mock IED, then there was an ambush form the wood line that we had to react too. The vehicle that we were driving in was disabled so the other vehicle in the convoy would have to recover the vehicle that was damaged and then we would move to a safe location and call in a medivac to get the injured to safety. It was good training and the IED smelled like baby powder so that was fun.


This is a video of what it looks like when we are done shooting the 198 howitzer. We went and shot the howitzer the last part of the field problem that we were doing. We were supporting 2-1 infantry. They were doing the training on calling for fire from a battery and we were providing the fire for them, I could not get one of the actual round going off cause there is too much going on, but I did get some good pictures of it.




Well now i have to go to Yakima for the next few weeks I am doing guard duty! Lots of fun! Talk to you all soon
