So, we have had some fun in the past few days. We got to teach our ANP how to shoot a little better then they have been taught before. It was alot of fun teaching these guys how to shoot properly. They really enjoyed it as well. It was fun because every time we caught a soldier with his weapon on fire, or holding it the wrong way, he had to do 10 push ups. It was a great motivator, partially because they can't do push ups, and also it taught them the right way of doing things. Most of the soldiers caught on after their first 10 push ups or so. As you can see from the photos, we let a few of them shoot our weapons, and we got to shoot theirs. Most of my soldiers have never fired a foreign weapon before, so it was a good experience for them as well. Even my terp got to shoot my rifle as well. He is a pretty good shot. Our training portion is getting closer to being done, and we all have had a great time. The ANP are very motivated every day to recieve new training. I made up a certificate of motivation to give out each day to one or two soldiers who do a great job during the training. It is a great tool, because now they all want one, including the sub governor. I told him he has to participate in the training....I will give him one anyway, as a good gesture. Well, duty calls, as does the chow hall, so I will update again soon. Keepin' it real, close to Pakistan that is....Russ.
