'Official' site still to come

There are many exciting things going on at WHINSEC, and you will hear about them on this blog. However, we are still working on a blog that will be found on our web site. That will be the one that the commandant of WHINSEC will monitor and contribute from time to time.

Tomorrow the Counterdrug Operations Class graduates. This seven-week course gives its students some additional skills in carrying the drug fight to the bad guys. 59 students are in this course, some military, some police, but all professionals already fighting drug cartels. Students in past courses have gone back and been involved in significant drug interdictions and seizures.

The course completing their work tomorrow were at Stennis Space Center, Miss, the first week of March, working with the Naval Small Craft Instruction and Technical Training School. NAVSCIATTS provided the boats and crews using their own students from all around the globe. The WHINSEC students got to practice joint operations with another team as they moved to their objective. As they came to a river, the NAVSCIATTS students manned the boats that carried the WHINSEC students to a landing site near their objective. Both WHINSEC and NAVSCIATTS instructors were proud of the results of working together, and plan to do so again with the next Counterdrug Operations Course.
