19 October

It was an early morning for 80 members of Bravo Company. We sent everyone whose last name falls between A-Noey to language training. The soldiers were given a familiarization course in the Arabic language. It was given be civilian instructors who were very fluent in the Arabic language. They were taught some helpful phrases and command words and given cd's to take with them to continue their learning if they choose to.

It is starting to cool of here in Mississippi and the mornings are cool. The men are getting to use there new cold weather gear issued at RFI back towards the beginning of camp. The weather is still extremely nice during the day though. The temperature peaks in the 70's everyday which is perfect weather for training.

Directly following language training the men went to a night fire range. The men zeroed their PEQ-15's and then fired a full qualification in the dark using night vision goggles. Due to the late time the men got back from the range there will be no soldier of the day. Thanks for reading and have a nice day.
