Earlier, I wrote about trying to find my role in this environment- on a FOB, no missions, on stand-by while trying to find out what our next mission will be. Well, after discussing it with my Platoon Sergeant, he basically said I do a whole lot of nothing. If there is planning or resourcing involved, then it is all my show (as well as execution of the mission), everything else in this quasi-garrision enviroment is mainly the work of the NCO. If this was garrision, there would be alot of paperwork invovled to keep me busy or waiting on the the next email on Outlook, but there is not much of that type of work over here.
So, here I am, working out twice a day, constantly on the internet, enjoying DFAC food, and supervising my men and leaders...
Well, we do have some training everyday, but nothing that my squad leaders can't handle. The highlight of the week was hitting up the range here at Falcon. We re-zeroed our weapons and machine guns, good stuff.
The OPORD (operations order) is comming down soon though, so game time is approaching...
In other news, my platoon won the first game in the softball tournament! We beat some Air Force dudes. The begining of their lineup was strong, but the team overall was pretty weak so we were able to devour them ... yes!
