I really cannot remember but if the pack had something important I would of remembered.

Everyone must realize that this type of training is designed to piss soldiers off so they make rash decisions and mistakes. That way they can learn from them so they are not repeated in combat. We had a 1 star general tell us, the civilians, in a Kosovo training event to do everything possible to piss off the soldiers. That we did thru snow balls, taunts and a good riot to get the blood pumping. He commended us on our good job. And yes a few punches were thrown but we had a good time of it
