The purpose of the training, in the words of LTC Cumpton (Bn Cdr) was to “Re-Blue” our leadership in the areas of ISAR, Platoon Tactics, and Marksmanship principles. All Platoon Sergeants and above attended the one-day training event, and are now ready to move forward, in unison, across the entirety of the First Missouri. • APFT CHALLENGE:MAJ Brothers, XO of the 1-138th IN REGT, posed a challenge to any and all Soldiers of the 1-138th IN REGT that if they beat his APFT score, he will give them a “prize”. • During the Sep11 drill, SPC Poole took him up on the offer, and beat him by one point --scoring a 300 to the XO’s 299. As his reward, he got the opportunity to “drop” a Major . As a team-player and all-around good sport, SPC Poole dropped with him in front of the entire HHC formation - knocking out 25 reps for fun, and 1 for the Infantry.
