Hello again from Camp Shelby, MS. It is another warm and beautiful southern day. Today is a pretty easy day for the men of B. Co. There was some light training this morning. There have been bus runs all day to Wal-Mart so the troops could get the supplies they needed to be comfortable. Our sniper section and our mortar section both pulled their weapons today and performed maintenance and drills to hone their skills. The squad leaders had a Stryker Crew Evaluator class, and the Stryker Crews went to a refresher in fire commands.

The soldier of the day is PFC Christopher Araujo. He lives in Conneaut Lake, PA. Chris has three little girls and was planning on attending college after deployment. Chris received an Army Achievement Medal while at Annual Training this summer for his outstanding commitment to duty and skills on the M240 machine gun. Here is what he has to say;

Hello this pfc.Araujo I'm a m240 gunner and i am proud be a soldier in US army. i just want to say i love you to my baby girls. i love you all and take care see you at Christmas.

I met your wife again at the FRG meeting yesterday. You are a lucky man; she's beautiful and strong. She is very proud of you and will hold down the fort until you get home. God bless.
