Many of you know that I was recently on a field trip to California with my battalion. We were at the National Training Center located at Fort Irwin from the 1st to the 27th of October. NTC is supposed to replicate being in Iraq to help prepare units for deployment to Iraq.
The first week we were there was spent at the staging area known as "Aruba". We spent this time getting all of our equipment, trucks and aircraft ready to go out to the "box".
These are some pictures from Aruba. It was pretty windy almost the whole time we were there which made for some fun dust storms to work in.
The next place we were at is known as Forward Operating Base(FOB) Miami. We spent 2 weeks there, doing normal aircraft maintenance and some other training missions.
This was part of our convoy out to FOB Miami. This was also a dusty trip because the Humvee I rode in had no doors or top.
