    By: Sergeant First Class Miguel Medina


    Attendees of all ages came to check out what the Drill Sergeants had to offer them at the "Drill Sergeants Fitness Area". They found various ways to conduct push ups, sit ups, chin ups and pull ups. I had focused on different techniques that would aid them in building different muscle groups and focus on Isolation. A huge turnout.

    I'm sure by now if you are in any way involved with the Army be it an officer, NCO, enlisted, future soldier, cadet, warrant officer, whatever you may be you know what LDRSHIP stands for. The Army Values: Loyalty, Duty, Respect, Selfless Service, Honor, Integrity, Personal Courage. We also all know what a leader is, both good and bad.

    By: Major Kendall Mower


    Thursday was great.  We have several dentists that are/will be gone for training.  Because of that things will shift a little at the clinic. Thursday I was able to treat one of the tallest patients I have seen. He is completing training in AIT and will be graduating this summer and going on to play college ball.  He was 6"7".  Not sure why he wasn't smiling - he was happy both before and after the picture :) In the morning I was on exams, and we did 16 exams.  In the afternoon we did: pulp...read more
