Not sure what Capt Grandke has in store for us this Thursday.  As SM Thoenes has stated before he needs a gear count.  Not the gear that you purchased but the gear you were issued.  I will be creating a checklist for everyone to fill out of what they have and what they need.  One column is going to be for what you currently have and the second will be for what you need.  Then when I am finished making that spreadsheet I will post it as a link so anyone can download it and use it.

My team and I will be conducting an After Action Review (AAR) with the Ground Team that went out last Thursday.  Here we can and will discuss what we liked and what we want to change.  Please be honest if we are not.. well we cannot grow as a team and work to achieve a common goal.

There is going to be a Ground Team and Aircrew Exercise Thursday.  I want to get wheels on ground as soon as we can.  I will be driving the Van and more details on the mission will follow.  

I will get the basic briefing before I give it to everyone in the classroom.  

BRING A JACKET.  Ground Team this is not an abnormal request.  Expect the unexpected Gloves, Hats, Flashlights, SQTRs.  The Uniform will be BDUs.  NO ES GEAR.  You wont need it at all.

See you all Thursday
