I think Kristi told me that you would be assigned to the squad leader. what does this mean as far as your responsibilities?
ReplyDeleteIm his driver. One of the big differences is that he will be directly in charge of the IP ( iraqi police) station so we will spend a lot of time at the station instead of training the police like everyone else. So if we are teaching them how to run a patrol, our vehicle will stay behind and man the station instead. I believe.. I have very limited knowledge of the differences right now.
ReplyDeletesound better than patrols. keep me posted please
