Good evening friends and family,

Good Evening EZ Company Loved Ones!!

I had the opportunity to talk to 1SG McClain this evening. The company is still in the Forge. However. There are a few things I'll cover for this coming weekend...

Please attend the Turning Green Brief at the Regimental Chapel @ 9:00a.m. Friday. The Ceremony will follow that, right next door (wheelchair accessible) and there is a lot of seating!!

Your trainee was told to 'call family' and let you know if they are getting day passes or the whole four day pass etc.
*If your trainee didn't call you, but maybe their girlfriend or a buddy...I cannot give you advise on how best to proceed. We cannot verify who you are over the phone to let you know about your trainee, I'm sorry.

The 1SG and Commander will cover what your trainee CAN and CANNOT do during their pass during the brief, and an Emergency contact number. They will cover when the trainees need to be back on the Company Training Area, what contraband they cannot bring back to the Company, and answer any questions you may have.

Passes...the Visitors Center at the Main Gate is open 365/24/7. I would impress upon you to get your pass the day before if you can spare a few minutes. The day of is going to be hectic!

There is a class Turning Green after us, so please collect your trainee and his bag and exit promptly. Thank you so much!

🚨🚨🚨🚨 Edited to add.... due to the Government Shutdown, we cannot go LIVE here for Turning Green. It is information only. 🚨🚨🚨🚨

Again, I'll answer what questions I have answers to. I'm assisting from D Co, so, if I can't give you an answer in the next 24 hours, please be patient. I have to wait for E Company to get out of the field!

Good Evening EZ Company families!!!

We wanted to pass out some Turning Green information...

After you make it through the Main Fort Benning gate, take the exit on your right. Then make the left onto Custer Drive.

Please get your pass the night before! And take the gate on the far right. You can still use your pass there. If you have to get your pass that morning, I understand. But you'll be amongst thousands of other people trying to get on post. And trying to get to the Custer exit is craziness in the morning.

When you get your pass, they may tell you to use the Sand Hill gate. You can use either.

Custer Dr takes you past housing, a school, and don't go to that Starbucks, you'll miss Turning Green.(they are great, but eeeeveryone stops there before coming on the hill...too busy!). Once on the Hill. Take that first Right onto 11th Airborne Division Rd, then a Left onto 187 Infantry Regiment St. The Chapel is on your Right. Next to it...a whole parking lot. Please don't park in the Chapel driveway.

Under no circumstances would we like for you to park on Hanson Dr. That is parking for the Cadre of 2/19 ONLY. Please. We get cranky when we can't park by our companies.

Please remember, the Turning Green Brief will be held at the Chapel at 0900 on Friday the 24th! There will be Cadre keeping you clear of the field until 1000. And making sure you dont park amongst the Cadre on Hanson Dr. There is plenty of seating outside!

We won't begin the ceremony until we've answered your questions. Because we (CPT Smith, 1LT Kudick, and, 1SG McClain) need to be there too.

There is another company Turning Green after us, so please, as soon as the ceremony is completed, please exit quickly so that the next company can park and take the field.

Any questions that will be answered in the brief, if you ask on here, I'll respond with... please attend the brief. Any other questions about Turning Green will be answered here.

Good Evening again EZ Company family. Friends, and loved ones!!

A photo montage of ...EAGLE TOWER!!

At the top, your trainee sounds off with which hand is their dominant hand..."right hand break hand or left hand break hand."

Then they identify their lane, one, two, or three.

They identify the yellow step and step down to it. Get into a deep seated L.

The DS will have them wave with their guide hand, and ask them to give three hops.

Then, its time to rappel down about 40-ish feet.

Show some love to your trainee!

No Peace! Only War!

GAS! GAS! GAS!

Happy Thursday evening family, friends, and loved ones of Echo Company!!

Your trainee visited the gas chamber earlier this week. As you can tell by the photos, it's a little daunting.

The trainees went into the chamber, and just breathed normally with their gas masks on. THEN, they had to take their masks off and put them back on again to learn how to clear their masks.

Finally, because there is always more, they took their masks off once more and recited the Soldier's Creed.

When the Soldier exits the building, they are supposed to wave their arms to help loosen the CS gas from their uniform.

I can tell CS is great for your sinuses!!

Peruse the pictures, find your trainee and show them some love from home!!

No Peace! Only War!

No Peace! Only War!
