 I'm PFC Nicholas Powers. We worked on field expedient charges, which is essentially making charges that we already use out of explosives we wouldn't normally use for those purposes. And then we ran through our battle droolite with them and did SOSRA, which is the acronym we use for breaching any wire obstacles. My favorite part of yesterday was definitely building the charges because we don't get a lot of hands-on building those things. And so it was a lot of learning for the U.S. soldiers as well as the Thai soldiers. And it's always cool when we can build these things with them and actually work with them because a lot of what we do is we'll do something as a U.S. force, then the Thai will go, then we'll go, whereas this was everyone's hands-on at the same time. My name is Sergeant Tardio. I am a 12 Bravo, a combat engineer in the United States Army. Yesterday, we conducted battle drill 8. We built some charges with the Thai Army, showing them how to build improvised bangle lures and brazers, showing them our way of making improvised explosives, and then showing them how we conduct battle drill 8, which is conducting a obstacle breach. My favorite part, working with the Thais, they're always positive, energetic, always fun to work with, learning how to use their weapon systems and learning how to use their techniques is pretty cool too. Very friendly people, and it's never a dull moment with them. It's always a blast. The most fun part is when we're conducting drills with them and just learning all their techniques while they learn all of our techniques. I was running a couple rehearsals with them, using their weapon systems, learning how they're breaching techniques, and it was just such a blast to be a part of their team and just learning how they do things, and they also learn how we do things. The most fun I had with the Thai Army was doing rehearsals with them, conducting breaches, and just being a part of their team, learning about them a lot. It's never really a dull moment with them, it's a blast.
