attitude confirmed

I spent the last week in a training course designed to be a train-the-trainer. Overall it was a good course. What really got my attention was the soldiers from the support unit that couldn't fight there way out of a paper sack. They were useless with the weapons and more useless with tactics and maneuvering. Jessica Lynch has nothing on these people. I've always made fun of them but I thought it was just useless bravado. I hope we can bring some of them in during our mobilization training and show them at least how to defend themselves. I guess they don't understand the magnitude of the situation they are about to encounter.

On a positive note it was great to see the guys from the former E Troop all in the same place again. We'll see how Kansas goes; I'm hoping for some Internet availability.
