There is not much going on today in Mississippi, it should be a relaxing day for the men of Bravo Company. At 1030 this morning we are going to RFI, which stands for Rapid Fielding Initative. Here the troops will get some new gear and any gear that they do not have. We sent SGT Packard and CPL Webb to TSIRT this morning. TSIRT is Theater Specific Individual Required Training.

Today's soldier of the day is PFC Brian Mohney. He is a rifleman from 1st platoon. He is from Youngsville, PA and is 19 years old. Here is what he has to say:

Hello I am in Bco 1/112 Infantry. I am in first platoon and my platoon Sergeant is SFC Whisner, my platoon Leader in LT O'Brien, My squad leader is SGT Fuller, and my team leader is SGT Donaghue. So far we have had a positive introduction to our predeployment at Camp Shelby. We have moved in to our living quarters, and have had access to every thing we need we have enough time to keep in contact with our families and have some personal time to socialize to each other so far moral is relatively high, and the areas such as the latrine are clean. Today we are goin to get all of the gear that we need to achieve a successful deployment.

Thanks for following.
