So, are these young men (and women?) just getting their start in the Guard? Do you do any of the "teaching"? What kind of weather are they drilling in?

One at a time!!!

Only a few of these kids are just starting out. Most of my guys are young bucks of a few seasons - as opposed to the old farts like me.

Oh yeah, I do a LOT of the teaching. A few of the guys do the sneaking-thru-the-bushes training; I do the outthink-the-bad-guys part. Brainiac, that's me...

We had them out in winter weather today; snowfall, wind chill, just like our brothers in Big Army.

And shazam, we got two girls in the company, too! High-school age, just starting out, never been to Basic or AIT yet. We used them as decoys, for the interrogators to play with; gave them lines to memorize, so they could spout them back at the spooks, giving them stuff to work with. EVERYBODY got into the act.

Do some kids never grow up? You shouldn't have to spend time doing the outthinking part. Or do you get a little pleasure out of outsmarting them? LOL!

How did the girls handle their decoy work?
