Summer 2000- Ft. Riley KS CTLT with B/2-34 AR

July 10-August 10, 2000.  I had the honor of serving as a CTLT (Cadet Troop Leader Training) Cadet with 'B' Company, 2-34 Armor (1st BDE, 1st ID-Mech).  I was tasked to the 2nd platoon, and thanks to the great soldiers of 2nd platoon and Bravo Company, I had an incredible experience!

This is part of my platoon at Ft. Riley                                 Yeah, you think cleaning your 12 Gauge is hard?  Try punching
