Pictures
Hello from FLW! This time I come bearing pictures of our last Field Training Exercise.
The FOB (Forward Operating Base), where the FTX was held.
My friend Swift.

Marsh (another member of my platoon) and I in humvee
Me on the radio
Preparing for a mission
Convoy just before departure on mission
Me in humvee
View of guard tower from inside humvee
The convoy heading down the road
Members of my platoon in humvee
Me coming out of the port-a-potty wearing a gas mask (it really did smell that bad in there on the last day)
I graduate in 3 days! Hooah! After that I'm heading to the 84th Chemical Battalion where I'm going to learn how to operate the M93A1 Fox recon vehicle. The course is 6 weeks long, so I should be out of Ft Leonard Wood and back home in the first week of October.
