WOW!

Join me on my adventure to the big sandbox in Iraq. I started on this adventure March 29, 2010 when I was notified that I was being mobilized for 520 days to serve with a Provincial Reconstruction Team (PRT) based in Iraq. The definition for Provincial Reconstruction Team is a unit consisting of military officers, diplomats, and reconstruction subject matter experts, working to support reconstruction efforts in unstable states. I'm being assigned as the Operations NCO for one of 16 teams stationed in Iraq. I will post pictures and updates for your enjoyment.

Combat Life Saving School

Week Two:

This week has been a great week with many more to come. I have spent the week in the Combat Life Saving course, I hope I never have to use the skills that I learned this week. Below are three links to videos that were shoot during the class. Please turn up your volume to view them.

Today I graduated from the class and now if the need arises I may be able to save one of my fellow military members life. We were taught in the class that we can't save everyone, however we have been taught the skills needed to try.

Tomorrow I start the next course of instruction which is Civil Affairs.

Bob out.
