And reading ...

My humble advice / $0.02 - find out what the teams need. When I was on Bn staff, I worked with our S2 MI weenies...great learning experience for both. I learned what they were taught at the school house (MIOBC and AIT), and they learned what ODAs look for. Bottom line - The "So What". Whenever you get a chance, sit in on a backbrief or an FMP. You learn what the 18Fs brief / look for / what they forget to brief (not to be construed with what they choose not to brief). You also learn the difference between the Macro and the Micro, and WHY the ODAs sometimes ask for strange information.

Hope you enjoy your time out at the 1st...I know I did, and am working to get back there.

V/R,
