Good morning from Bravo Company. Due to an administrative issue the men got to come back early from the field. The soldiers got up this morning and went to chow. The vehicle crews then went down to the motor pool to PMCS their Strykers.
Today's training is being driven by the individual platoons. Third platoon is developing a packing list for JRTC so the soldiers know what they need to take when they go into the field. First platoon had an inspection this morning in their full kit to make sure nobody had lost any gear and that the platoon is good to go for future training. Second platoon is getting geared up to run some battle drills. All of the sergeants in Bravo company are meeting with first sergeant this morning to go over their 4100's. A 4100 is a breakdown for each soldier showing their Army achievements and where they stand in the promotion line.
The commander arranged for buses to go into town today for guys to pick up anything they wanted from Wal-Mart and other such places.

Here are some pictures of what has been going on recently. In the first picture we see First Sergeant Bickerstaff overseeing part of Stryker gunnery. The second picture is Staff Sergeant Catlin inspecting some MK-19 rounds before firing off of the Stryker. The third picture is of the Strykers staged and ready to shoot their qualification on table IV gunnery.
Today's soldier of the day is SPC Joesph St. Clair. Joe is from Latrobe, PA and is married to Samantha. He has a daughter named Evie Grace. He plans on attending the State Police Academy after this deployment. This is what Joe has to say; Hi I would like t take this time to say thanks for reading this blog…I am having a great time but miss my family. My favorite training has to be room clearing, it always gets my blood pumping. In my spare time I enjoy joking and playing games with my battle buddies. Thanks for your prayers.

Hi,
I'm learning so much about how daily life is for you all. Great idea to blog about it. What are your observations of Mississippi?
What's the gas price down there? It just dropped below $3.00 a gallon in Erie this morning!
God Bless You All. Thanks again for your service.
