The Countdown Has Begun

Saturday was intended to be a "fun" day. We used a fancy GPS and did a land navigation course that encompassed some of the skills we have learned along the way. We had to use our Dari, our combat lifesaving skills, we encountered an I.E.D and had to call it in and we had to show our knowledge of certain weapon systems. We were in full battle rattle and it turned out to be 10 mile hike when it was all said and done. After our hike we finished up our leader engagements and the rest of the weekend was ours. We are definitely on the down side of training. We have 19 total days and 14 training days left, not that anyone is counting. It feels like we have been here for a lifetime and it will be nice to bid Kansas good-bye.
