Thanks to the support of SSG Timothy Devoy and CPT David Hampton, soldiers from a fellow Army unit here in the IZ, the 314th PAOC was able to secure enough ammunition to do weapons qualification this past week. Always on the lookout for a good picture, SPC Brittany Gardner snapped this picture of SFC Benari Poulten at EXACTLY the right time — capturing the bullet as it left the barrel of the weapon.
A handful of soldiers were able to increase their scores, but all were glad for the familiarization firing — especially PFC Christine Bernat, our resident weapons expert.

Great picture. That’s amazing.

How about training as you fight. Looks like SAPI plates are missing from the IOTV… Gloves… I hate to take away from what I hope was good training; but sub par task, conditions, and standards is getting to common in non combat units…
