Most of the soldiers are shooting the M4 qualification today and will be at training for most of the day. Soldiers that carry a M9 Beretta will be going to qualify with that weapon today. A select few soldiers are receiving a liberty tonight. They will be going to watch the University of Southern Mississippi take on Boise State in college football action.
Yesterday, the troops went to Stryker TTP. Stryker TTP consisted of several different training lanes for the Strykers and squads that will occupy them. They had training on the following areas; conducting a raid, react to contact, vehicle recovery, and flash TCP (Traffic Control Points). The men were trained by soldiers who just finished serving a tour in Iraq with Stryker vehicles. The men felt the training to be outstanding.
Today's soldier of the day is SPC Matthew Bevivino. Matt is from Erie, PA and is working his way through school. Here is what Matt has to say; I have greatly enjoyed my time spent in Mississippi so far & I am looking forward to serving my country in Iraq
