Battalion Update | Capt. Winkler
This is the final week of the winter quarter, so it is a really busy week for Battalion. L&C is finishing their interviews and resume class, and 2nd Phase is doing intro to fire. 2nd Phase will also be doing their scenario day Wednesday into Thursday, so there will be a lot of action overnight. Thursday is Awards & Promotions at lunchtime, and then the quarter wraps. Pray for a good transition to 3rd Phase for all the men staying, and safe travels home for all the guys leaving.
