Back again.  I was looking through some of the posts above, and as a planner for this FTX, I have a few comments.  Sorry for the long post, but this forum is a superb medium to pass information to soldiers who don’t have regular access to the DIN.  I realize it shortcuts the information flow...

Good Evening All, My first post here, so I realize I don't have a proven record on this Forum.  Those of you reading this from 41 CBG, go ahead and verify details with your Chain of Command. I am one of the planners for EX EASTERN GRIZZLY 2007, and have been involved with this FTX since...
