Team is working well today, and has grown in size.
Still working on the basic of getting the kit together.
Assisting others in our lessons learned from yesterday.
Getting up there and back is not that bad.
I’m practicing spoken Spanish, which is good.
Got up to Camp Roberts today, and did all the check-ins, so I can drive on the base – I think that’s what it’s called.
Good first day – putting various items together for the harness. It’s definitely a process that requires some attention to detail.
XCTC is basically a really high-tech laser tag — not sure I’d call it a game, though. I haven’t worked with soldiers yet, but they’re using this system as their two-week per year training regimen.
People who are the primary on this job travel around the country supporting this important program.
For next couple weeks, I will be part of an XCTC (Exportable Combat Training Capability) exercise at Camp Roberts, CA. Will be working with equipment carried by soldiers and also within vehicles. Good thing is that it’s paid work.
Here’s an unclassified manual on XCTC
Here’s the company behind the program, got the contract
Which company will now have the contract for near future
