It's elective season here Command & General Staff Officer Course, which means students get out of the books & into the "battlefield". Wargames are critical to warfighter education, putting their skills against enemies to challenge their processes and decisions. #EducatetoWin

I was chosen, without any merit of my own. Now, with fear and trembling, I come to you as a brother, who desires to be the servant of your faith and joy, walking with you on the path of God’s love, for He wants us all to be united in one family.
