Not much new

There has not been too much new going on here.  Missions have been the standard set.  Escorts, In-Fils, Ex-Fils, Medevac coverage, and looking for lost UAV's (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles).  The "Deathstalkers" did get 3 more insurgent kills, along with 2 wounded and captured.  I have been told that missions will slow down in the winter.  I then can concentrate on completing some of the pilots APARTS (Annual Proficiency And Readiness Training).  It is a once a year training flight where the rated pilot flies with his instructor pilot just to confirm that the rated pilot is proficient in all tasks and manuevers that are required to operate and employ the AH-64D.  Right now we have 3 pilots that are in their APART "window".   While waiting for missions we have all been busy playing "Tiger Woods Golf" on the Xbox in the CP (Command Post).  Everyone has designed a player that looks and acts like themselves.  It makes the time go by fast.
