A few things have happened in the last week:
First, I conducted my first 15-6 investigation. A 15-6 is basically an investigation where an unbiased officer if given the task of finding out the facts of a given incident. In my case, it was a negligent discharge- which is when a person accidently or "negligently" fires his weapon when he did not intend to fire it. It was a qucik investigation: I recieved sworn statements from the people invovled, put together a bunch of paper work, and gave my unbiased opinion on what happened and what actions (punishment) I recommended. Basically, I found the person at fault due to him not following proper procedure when clearing his weapon.
Also, I had to take a FOO (Field Order Officer) class (in order to be certifed to become a FOO) at Taji. For the comming month, I will be the "FOO" for my new company, Charlie, when I move up there tomorrow. I basically am given control of up to $25,000 to buy things for everyday use on our base, for example: TVs for dayrooms, microwaves and Refrigerators for common use, wood to build "non-permanent" structures, and a whole bunch of other stuff. Primarily, it is to buy off the local economy due to the slow governemnt process of buying such items for everyday use. That will be a side job I will have for the next month until I get my platoon.
And thats about it. Still looking for one more item on my inventory list... ugh. Also started watching "Rome" the HBO Series, pretty awsome show so far.
yup

Does that mean you'll be "out in the field"?
The particular job will require me to go "outside the wire" to buy things, but not too much. I will be going on patrols with the current platoon leaders as well so I can watch and learn from them.
