 to support so we can push it onto Poland in order to support third brigade operations to really increase our presence. We're showing cooperation with our friendly NATO allies. We're going to work with the Polish Army as well as the Lithuanian and Latvian Army. I've been here for two days. We're on the torch flight so we were the first people from third brigade to land got here two days ago and are just now starting the port operations. I mean it seems generally kind of the same like the United States but we you know obviously the metric system is different but I've been here once before and I really have gotten accustomed to the same type of living. Everything's kind of smaller I guess they got the small vehicles but nothing. I like it a lot. So I serve as the company unit movement officer. I'm in charge of making sure all of our equipment gets put on the trains which have been back at Fort Carson then they move to Beaumont Texas and from Beaumont Texas they got loaded onto these vessels here and from Beaumont Texas here to Breminovn and they're going to be unloaded here at the port and pushed to the railhead here and then all the way to Poland. So different battalions are doing convoys. 1-8 is going to be here to their final destination. My battalion is going to be putting it on trains and then picking it up in Poland. So the convoys will be pretty well organized. I'll leave it straight from here. I know 1-8 brought a lot of people so they can man all their vehicles and push them farther. We're going to pick up our vehicles in Poland. I'm the only one from my company here to make sure everything gets put on the train and then our our drivers will meet the vehicle. So I mostly am a charter mechanic which is the title that I work on, 88s and 113s. But like I said I'm cross-training on our vehicle as well and pretty much my my role in all this is just to make sure that our vehicles are aided like they run the way they're supposed to. They're not going to break down on a field problem or we're trying to show that we've got some of the best equipment in the world so we don't want to take something off the boat that just blows up or everything just shuts down and stops working. So I just I'm there to make sure that that doesn't happen. So far what I've seen is that our equipment is I mean it took a lot of work and there's some rough patches but our equipment is coming out here looking really good. Everything's starting the way it's supposed to. Everything's running the way it's supposed to. The cold weather's not too good for the equipment right now because it's a lot different climate over here. But like our vehicles are acclimating to it and they're they're running the way they're supposed to. Oh yeah so I haven't like had too much contact with the contractors but uh they're getting our vehicles off efficiently uh they're parking them up for us and then we're just running our just few checks on them to make sure all the uh the batteries are going to be up so that the vehicles are ready to get started and uh all right so I plan on doing it for a long time at least 20 years. So uh I'm very excited about this deployment. I've heard yours is beautiful which so far it seems like I mean the base is a little creepy but uh yeah it's nice like I'm super excited to be out here and uh yeah I just hope I get more the ones like this one because everybody's so friendly like I don't see Jordan so it's been hard to communicate with some of the people that I've run into or that I've like trying to conversely but uh yeah it's it's been cool I like it.
