Teaching Techs

Craig and I are about 2 weeks into teaching techs and we are enjoying it quite a bit. We have both given 4 speeches, two 20 min and two 40 min.  We are waking up early for Modern Army Combatives aswell.  We usually start the day off at 4:30 and practice rolling around.  We are learning some basic combat moves and how to submit someone.  I really have never had formal training so it is really cool to see how affective some of these moves are.  After we are done with that at 7 we clean up and for the rest of the day we practice our speeches.   I have always had an interest in teaching so I really am enjoying giving the lessons.  Anywho, we are on base for 2 more weeks then we are going to the field to practice giving field lessons.  We basically will be teaching like we were instructors.  Some of the lessons are fire craft, shelter craft, and skinning.  It will be great experience.
     I will check in again soon.  Hope everyone is doing well at home.
