Friday

Well today is Friday. Can’t believe another week has gone by. I am definitely enjoying my time here.

I had a full day of classes today. Physical training class was good. Courtney ran us through some advanced nutrition to consider for the first part and the last half was weaponless defense.

After lunch we had a great debrief of a traumatic incident that occurred in 2011. A Virginia state trooper shot an off duty officer who killed his wife. A pursuit ensued of the off duty officer in his take home police car. During the pursuit, the suspect shot a Virginia state trooper and got into another shootout with two other Virginia state troopers. We were fortunate to have one of the troopers that was in the pursuit and shot the suspect. Very much a critical incident with unique circumstances. Hearing her perspective about the incident and the aftermath was insightful.

We got off the base tonight and went to Alexandria for dinner. Had a great dinner at the Chart House then walked around for a bit.
