Now things have changed. Instead of following the range nazi, things are basically left up to the platoon or company leadership. While we were training for the shoot house, we did reflex fires. Reflex fires are conducted while standing, walking side to side or walking forward. When you are told to shoot, you go from the ready to the firing position and engage the target. While we were doing this, I was reminded of how the Germans practiced in WWII. They drew buttloads of ammo and hit the range. For now, that is what Ft. Campbell is up to.
