Good Evening Fox Battery Family Members,
Well I hope everyone got a phone call from their Soldier last night. Four more weeks until graduation day.
Today your SITs completed one more Mandatory Graduation Requirement by successfully employing two LIVE HAND-GRENADES. Your Soldiers also got the opportunity to test their hand-gr***de throwing skills by accepting the challenge and completing the HAND-GRENADE ASSAULT COURSE. Until next time, stay ARMY STRONG!!

Good morning Family and Friends,
I am Happy to inform you that, Saturday morning, Fox Battery officially phased over to “White Phase” from “Red Phase.” With this phase change comes more responsibility placed upon your Soldiers as well as more privileges, like phone calls home.
Today, Sunday 24 August 2014, officially ends week four of the cycle. Up to now, your soldiers have been challenged and taken out of their comfort zones by the Drill Sergeants & Cadre during multiple training events, such as: Treadwell Tower, First Aid, E-gas Chamber, two Basic Physical Fitness Test, Confidence Conditioning Course, multiple road marches, and various firing ranges in which all culminated with your Soldiers qualifying with their assigned M16 weapon. Training is only getting more demanding for your Soldiers, both physically and mentally. During this upcoming week (week 5) your soldiers will conduct a 12K Tactical Road March with all of their combat gear, conduct the hand gr***de assault course, and even throw live Fragmentary Grenades.
Until next update Fox Battery family and friends, stay Army Strong!!
