FET team 3 ( The day before battle gear)Greetings. Training has begun. We got our issue of equipment and are now required to wear it everyday. If the picture makes the equipment look heavy and hot - it is. ( I am on the far right in the back row in the picture below) They say that one of the goals of training is to get used to it - I hope so because I sweat all the way through a uniform today in 3 hrs. We also carry our weapons with us to every training event and have to rehearse clearing them every time we enter a building - this is again to get us ready for the theater. Fellow team member, Pete Keegan from NY, and myself decided after today's training that the hair must go. Please enjoy the pictures and this update. I am doing fine so far and will try to keep you posted - no promises. So, until next time.....
