The culmination of training here at NIACT is the Convoy Operation. You get the intelligence, the mission, and the assets, and then you plan how you are going to shoot, move, communicate, and treat. The DI's present a scenario that is true to life as possible, and we execute a student-made plan. Of course, some curveballs were thrown at us, but in the end, it was a success. They said we had met every objective. We are ready to deploy.
Suddenly, our jam-packed days of training, learning, shooting, and practice are done. It's hard to believe that time has passed so quickly, and it's time to move on. I'll look back on this week, and the weeks prior, and smile. You were pushed outside of your comfort zone. You were forced to train under folks that were junior. You made it work.
I'm glad I did. If there are any Camp McCrady DI's reading this, thank you.

Our next stop is Camp Virginia, Kuwait. Our mission there will be to get acclimatized (120 deg + weather), start our in-processing to theatre, and practice our marksmanship and test our knowledge of convoy ops.
At this time, I know the conductivity will be limited, but I'll get more postings in ASAP.
As always, thanks for reading....more to follow!
SEMPER FORTIS,
BEAR
