So we did some more classes with the Iraqi IPs today. Teaching them weapons handling safety and patrol tactics.

Then we went on patrol through the area. All was normal. Well, as normal as it could be, I guess.

The young Iraqis we work and train with are great. They are motivated, they look up to us, and are really trying to do good. After this last night patrol that I just got back from, the young Iraqis joined us for our nicotine break. They were off duty and tired as they had duty all day and then patrolling with the Marines but they had to come and stay with the Marines as long as we were still at the police station. They wanted to talk and learn. These young Iraqis are the future of Iraq and sure does feel good to do right by them. Show them they can make a difference.
