07 Apr 08 - FOB Defense

For the past few days we've been learning the basics of FOB Defense. A FOB is a Forward Operating Base. It's basically a small military base.

The training was really good, which is really nice. We learned about checkpoints, traffic control points, vehicle and personnel searches, etc. They're all things that I'd learned in the past, but it's nice to have a good review.

I'm definitely gaining an appreciation for the reality of the upcoming deployment. It's finally really sinking in that I'm going overseas to a war zone.
