NTC Day 23

Today we did After Action Reviews (AARs) on our experience here at NTC. The process was exhausting (unnecessarily so), but cathartic. First we got together with our platoons, then as a company leaders group, then with the battalion leaders.

There's too much to go into here, but suffice to say we came up with whole pages of stuff that could have been done better. On the "sustain" side, though, I'd have to say my platoon held up well despite all the junk we were put through.

And there were a couple things we got to do here that wouldn't have been possible at Fort Hood: we got to work with other companies, and (I say this tongue-in-cheek) we got to work the worst case scenario in terms of battalion leadership. In theater, it can only get better.

Oh, and I got caught up on sleep.
