Basic Training Grenade Training

This is video that was recorded by a photography company in Columbus, Georgia while I was in US Army Basic Combat Training from August-Nov 1997. This company would record various bits of training and then rip of the Joes by charging them large quantities of hard-earned money for this bouncy, grainy video. Anyways....its good to have this record of what I was going through, though it is hardly all-encompassing. This video is of grenade training. Here, the trainers teach us proper grenade throwing technique in several positions. We are using practice grenades, which pop a few seconds after the pin is pulled and the spoon released. Good stuff...Hooah! More clips from my basic training to come.
