October has ended and Bravo Company celebrated Halloween on the NBC range (see below). Our trip to the MOBE station started on a dreary day and the bus I was riding did not receive the proper preventative maintenance. The front of the bus was about 40 degrees and the back was about 80. We convinced the driver to pull over when the windshield had about a 4 inch visible circle left due to condensation. Pictured:Benny (front), Aaron (right rear), Mike (left rear)

Our first chore was to unload all of the equipment we brought with us and stuff it into a barracks meant for a unit about half of our size. Left: Danny and Mark (A CO) carrying equipment Right: Mike demonstrating the size and clutter of the rooms

Training at the MOBE site has been about half good and half redundant. First Aid was a worthwhile class. Some of us were selected as trainers.

Chrissie, Geoff, Zip, Sam and Josh were trainers for First Aid

Our month culminated with dress up in the form of NBC. Brian putting on a charcoal facial

Conclusion:

The days have been long, and it seems like we have been gone for months, but we are looking forward to moving on to the next step.
About half of the company has some sort of flu/cold or otherwise but most everyone is pushing through and getting their tasks done.
We are trying to set up our website and post more pictures.
More to follow…

So with that: for everyone who reads this, we thank you for your support.
God Bless you and your family!
