Getting Ready For Deployment...

Well its been one full week of MATEX Training with 1st FSSG, (Force Service Support Group), and I mean 1 FULL WEEK. That's including Saturday and Sunday. Tomorrow starts our field protion of the training. I do believe we are going to spend and about 4-5 days in the field. We'll basically set up a field triage, like the one you see in M.A.S.H.

A lot of useful training this past week. Topics from set up camp, to basic field carrries and combat carries. Weapons familiarization on both the M9, 9mm Bretta, and the M16 A4 rifle. Mount and dismount of a 7 Ton tactical truck. Triage and load patients who are wound in combat. Really exciting and cool training.

Well that's just a little bit of the training that we got in garrison. I'll update on the field taining when i get back next week.

Oh, this is just a bit off subject, but Nyoka's due date is next eweek. Can't wait... Really excited and anixous...
