A Brand New Batch

We just started our next course and latest training cycle today.  And I’m glad to report that this batch of Officers will continue the level of absolute professionalism and competency I’ve witnessed over the last year and 1/2.  Most of my students are young, but they bring with them the unfortunate wisdom gained from prior combat experience.  But, what has really impressed me was their willingness to undergo this new training to become better Officers and to gain valuable skills in international reconstruction and development.

Many foreign countries will benefit from these new Officers when they complete their training, not only the one where combat operations are being conducted. The Army is doing good and beneficial things for other countries - don’t think that all we do is destroy things.

Anyway, with this new class comes longer hours, my posting may suffer.  I’ll continue to do my best to keep you all informed.
