Bivouac was going to be fun, in spite of the crappy weather. We had spent a bunch of time on the tanks. We learning a whole bunch about them. We learned how they operate. I experienced first hand how difficult it is for a tall guy to use the escape hatch below the dirves seat, there just isn't much room under those things. We had driven them on paved roads as well as rough terrain.

But on bivouac we would finally be able to shoot the big guns. I would imagine it was a highlite for the drill sargeants and other trainers as well. Having 8 to 10 90mm guns going off at the same time is an exciting event.
