There is no better feeling than the end of a training exercise. Today we are concluding are Media Training Exercise, lovingly known as the MTX. Even though training can sometimes be grueling, I think this is the most productive, as well as exciting training, we have done during our stay at beautiful Fort Dix. The work we have been doing for the passed four days is the reason I joined the Army, and I am pretty confident I can say the same for my fellow Soldiers. The benefits of the passed 96 hours are unmeasurable. It is not so much that we need the training for our skill set, because we know how to do our jobs. This exercise has given us the opportunity to build confidence in one another, which is the most crucial need for a group of Soldiers heading into battle. I would just like to thank 1st Lt. Greene and the Fort Dix PAO shop for the opportunity they have given us as a unit; the seeds of confidence they have planted will reap much fruit in the very near future. I would also like to thank the leadership of my unit for the example of professionalism they have set, as well as the trust they have bestowed, in us the junior Soldiers. There is no group of Soldiers I would rather follow into battle. The stories of our success will be many. Keep us in your thoughts and prayers as we take the next step of our journey.
