With the holidays upon us, we have all realized that we are now at our halfway point, marking 3 and a half months away from home.  We have made multiple different stops, currently this one being our second trip to the country of Bahrain.  We have made 2 training stops with a third major one coming up very soon.  Our next stop will be about 6 weeks long, but at the end it will mark the end of our tour.  At that point we will set sail and start heading for the coast of North Carolina, which should take a few weeks to complete the trip.

Our 2 training points already completed were done with the Saudi Arabian Royal Navy and the UAE Marines, teaching them the basics of how to operate in urban terrain.

We all can't wait to see our families and friends in a few months.  Happy Holiday wishes to everyone, and a Happy New Year too.
