Am taking combatives training. It starts at 0500 and ends at 0700. The Army is much mure serious about this stuff since I attended basic training. It is Brazilian Jujitsu and it stresses grapelling with a choke hold or an arm bar as the coup. It is fairly exhausting, but I am learning a lot. Mostly that I had better not run out of bullets. Tomorrow I will follow that up with some urban ops training. Busting in doors and clearing rooms with a buch of docs and nurses. Hooah! At least the mercury dropped.

About Me
- Name: Willy-P
- Location: Alexandria, VA
I grew up in Panama (the country, not the city) and Tampa. I joined the Army to pay for school and spent two years in an infantry battalion in Germany and two years in an artillery battalion in Colorado. I got out and went to school in Denver and received a BS and a MS in finance for my trouble. I moved to VA for personal reasons and I am now employed in the defense industry as a civilian and I'm also a Medical Service Corps officer in the reserves, which is how I ended up in Iraq.
