Back at Luzon now in my home near the beach. I did a Combat Course in Mindanao and my ear hurts cause of 2 days live fire on 5.56 NATO for carbines on both rifles and carbines and 9mm and .45 for pistols.

It was a large group of trainees. The bulk of the class came from Philippine Airforce on Air Police units, Combat Search and Rescue, and Reserve Group.

The rest were from SWAT and Customs units, medical professionals, business men and me.

I was sick on the second day cuz my ear hurts for not bringing my ear protection, my sinus was in pain due to allergy, low fever, super hot climate with few drinking water supply hence I was dehydrated, and cuz of the induced or forced physical stress while doing the drills but fortunately I was able to finish it and go home.
