Another Update!!!!

YAY! We have an update! Its pretty sad that I have to wait for emails from LTC Hadley to find out what they have been up to! I miss hearing about it from Zac! =( I know they have been insanely busy, with only a few hours of sleep a night! A few times they have gone to bed at 2 am and had to be up at 3:30 am!!! I can only imagine how badly he wants a nap!!! ZZzzzzzz


Nightfighter Family,

Greetings once again from Fort Stewart, sorry for waiting so long to write, needless to say it has been a little busy here.­ During the past three weeks we have completed almost all of our collective training and are just 2 days away from starting our final training exercise.­ It is like our final exam and will run from Feb 21 through Feb 29.­ The battalion will be tested and evaluated on all the tasks we have been training on; this will be done by through a 24 hour a day Field Training Exercise (FTX).­ Each company will plan and execute 6 convoy logistic patrols a day and at battalion we will exercise our ability to track and resource those patrols.­ Every night there will be After Action Reviews conducted by our Observer Controllers from First Army.­ I am sure it will be extremely challenging but it should make the time go by very fast leading up to our pass.­

All of the companies did great on all of the training leading up to this final exercise.­ Our battalion led the way on gunnery tables, to give you an example of how much they excelled there were only 8 perfect scores on Gunnery Table VIII in the whole brigade and TF 293 had 6 of them.­ Three of those perfect scores came from one company.­.­.­Team Delta! It has been a pleasure travelling around to the training events, every where I go I am complimented on how well trained and disciplined our soldiers are.­ This of course is a direct reflection on the outstanding leadership of our company teams.­ The morale of the soldiers remains high, they enjoyed spending time on the gunnery ranges and I believe they are looking forward to completing our evaluation.
