Comanche Update...

Good evening to the family and friends of Comanche Soldiers...
Sorry for the long time since an update but the Drill Sergeant who usually post these updates was working on another mission at Ft. Leonard Wood. It has been a very busy two weeks for all the Comanche Soldiers. Last Week all of the Soldiers fired their assigned weapon for the first time, qualified with hand grenades which included throwing live hand grenades, ran the Physical Endurance Course (Obstacle Course), and received instruction in Basic Military Communications. Congratulations are in order to the 3rd Platoon "Wild Dogs" for winning the Gr***de Streamer and the 4th Platoon "Renegades" for winning the Physical Endurance Course Streamer for their phase banners.

This week is another busy week for your Soldiers, today they completed the Confidence Course which included a lot of obstacles dealing with heights, tomorrow they will Rappel 50ft down Warrior Tower, and Friday and Saturday the Soldiers will be at the range firing their weapons again in order to prepare for their rifle qualification shortly.

The Soldiers are coming along (slowly but surely), and should be phasing into white phase soon. The Soldiers have not gotten much phone time but hopefully they are keeping you abreast of happenings through letters. The Soldiers appreciate you words of encouragement and look forward to seeing you in 6 weeks during Family Day and Graduation.

As always the Drill Sergeants have been working hard to instill the pride and discipline of an American Soldier into the everyday lives of the trainees. Pictures from this week will be coming soon and as always thank you for your support. COMANCHE LEADS THE WAY!
