Graduation Day

It is official: Class 05/005 has successfully completed the C-23 Qualification Course. According to our primary instructor (who we refer to as “Jack Hammer”), we now have a license to learn…in a combat zone. Thanks to all the folks at FWAATS for the excellent training and support, it was our pleasure to attend.

I now get a few days to get my personal affairs in order; finances, insurance, wills, bills and equipment. After that, I’m off to Indianapolis to meet up with my unit.
