The next crop of 22 MODAs arrived in Camp. We had to sponsor at least one to help get
them through the endless Army paperwork and settled into their rooms. Some had worried looks of Taliban behind
every tree, but most were just happy to finally get to work after seven weeks
of training. Our Class is now betting
how many of this new batch will be sent home before their year is up. The class before mine has sent home 10 of the
23 that came (clearly a dysfunctional lot), but ours has only lost one so
far. Like I said earlier, this country
wallows in shades of gray, so if you are a black and white thinker, and can’t
live a simple life in a cramped setting, then this place will chew you up. This
latest batch is very friendly which should serve them well. At the end of the day it’s your ability to
get along with people that will save you (figuratively and literally).
With a New MODA. Note the style differences
