MOCC OIC (Officer in Charge) and Embark officer(trying to make an "E")
My job in the MOCC is to oversee the flow of information, and follow a checklist that tells me who should be doing what, what time they should be doing it, and in what order. Based on information flow from higher and knowledge of what going on in the battalion I proceed to make the mount out run as smoothly as possible. This is accomplished by a team of people, with me “steering the boat”.
NIGHT VISION!
My other new “hat” is being the battalion weapons and ordinance Officer. This means that I am the controller of all individual and heavy weapons, bullets, and explosives….also some really neat night vision. I have included a couple pictures of the crew served weapons we use; the 50 caliber machine gun, the 240B machine gun, and the m-19 automatic grenade launcher. I would tell you how many I have of each, but then I’d have to kill you.

Also decided to take the “RAMBO” picture, now that I can. ENJOY!
"It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat!"
-Teddy Roosevelt
