Band of Brothers...and Sisters!

This is most of the unit after CBRN training...Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear. The black is from the decontamination kits that we used while in the gas chamber...more stuff I hope to never use in real life!!!!

More MOUT stuff

SSG Sauret and me clearing the corner of a hallway...hmmm, pretty big hallway!

MOUT (Military Operations in Urban Terrain

A fancy way of saying, "clear that building!"
