We (soldiers; not the horse) finished a 6 day 24-hour exercise during which we practiced our signal management skills and other tasks that will "pop" up in Iraq. I worked day-shift from 0700-1930hrs (I did that so my students might try to figure out the time...).
My unit is lucky enough to be mobilizing with our higher headquarters. I say "lucky" because during this exercise, we figured out who does what and needs to work with whom. We would have had to figure out all these possibly confusing actions in Iraq.
Ooops. Must go to a formation. I'll be back.
I'm back. We train again tomorrow for 4-5 hours. We will be taught several weapons, and practice firing them.
On Thursday and Friday we will train on "Base Defense". I think the fake base has guard towers and fake insurgents try to sneak in. I heard it is fun.
Posted is a picture of the only horse I have seen since October 3rd and a picture of my fancy office here at McGregor, TX (near El Paso). My other office is at the recreation room with the PX. I can settle in there and watch tv; play pool; work on the internet; and eat snacks. I could get a haircut, but I'm not sure the barbers know anything besides the men's military haircut (not for me!!).
Have a great day!
Donna
