Serving the Soldiers, Civilians and Families of 2nd ABCT, 4th Inf. Div. Vol. 2, Issue 10 May 9, 2014
Soldiers of 2nd ABCT, 4th Inf. Div., and Kuwaiti Land Forces, both part of the Joint U.S. – Kuwaiti Land Forces basketball team dance, together after winning the Kuwaiti
Military Forces Annual Basketball Tournament at the Kuwait Sports Complex, April 29.
‘Just Us’Story and Photos by Sgt. Marcus Fichtl
2nd ABCT PAO, 4th Inf. Div.
S
gt. Corey Jones, co-captain of the U.S. – Kuwaiti Land Forces
basketball team posts up, a Kuwait Air Force player slashes
into the lane and bumps into Jones. The ref blows the whistle
calling a third foul barely into the first quarter. The KAF player sinks
his free throws and they pull within four.
Rewind to a few hours prior, Hip-hop music blasts through a
15-passenger van as it zigzags through the streets of Kuwait City.
Inside, a handful of basketball players silently roaring in confidence
as they approach the Kuwait Sports Complex one last time, for one
last game, the Kuwait Military Basketball Championship, April 28.
They aren’t just any American basketball players - they’re the
All-U.S. Army Central Champions from the 2nd ABCT, 4th Inf. Div.,
Camp Buehring, Kuwait.
“Just us” is their motto and according to them, it’s a brotherhood.
It’s not the hype, the refs or the fans.
Jones and his team walk into the basketball stadium as Salem, Co-
Captain of the US- Kuwaiti Land Forces basketball team greets them.
He embraces and kisses Jones and the American’s on their cheeks,
the local greeting between friends in Kuwait.
The US-Kuwaiti team didn’t start with a warm embrace - it wasn’t
“just us.” It was us or them as the two sides first met just over a
month ago.
“We walk in, we’re trying to give them handshakes, and they’re on
one side of the court and we’re on the other side - it’s a middle school
dance” said Jones. “Then the coach comes in, blows his whistle and
has us do sprints for 15 minutes. He told us ‘this is our new family
now, and that we have to look out for each other.”
A week after the first practice and the new family put their trust in
Jones, he hit two three point shots to defeat the Kuwaiti Royal Guard
84-82.

T
he sound of a crying
baby is not something
all Soldiers are used
to, especially if they have been
deployed for the last seven
months, but expecting and new
fathers of the 2nd ABCT, 4th Inf.
Div., are preparing themselves
for anything.
The brigade hosted its second
installment of Daddy Boot Camp
at the Camp Buehring Chapel in
Kuwait, May 3.
The training included an
instructional video on how to
swaddle an infant, a slideshow
on the “do’s and don’ts” of
reintegrating back into family
life and situational based
questions.
“It’s designed to teach a lot
of different things to first time
fathers or expecting fathers,” said
Maj. Cori Etheridge, behavior
health officer, 2nd ABCT. “We
look at and explore the father’s
fears, apprehensions, what their
hopes and dreams are and what
type of father do they want to
be.”

Daddies fall in!
Maj. Cori Etheridge, right, brigade behavior health officer, 2nd ABCT, 4th Inf.
Div., speaks with current and future fathers during Daddy Boot Camp at the
Camp Buehring Chapel, Kuwait, May 3
For one first time father, the
class made him confident in the
ability to go home and play a
major role.
“I feel like I’m better now,” said
Pfc. Aric Golgart, infantryman,
Company A, 2nd Bn., 8th Inf.,
Reg., 2nd ABCT. “I’m more
prepared and I am going to
actually be able to help my wife.”
And why did leadership think
it is important to have the class
for the soon-to-be redeploying
Soldiers?
“Going home and redeploying
without having this knowledge
kind of puts (Soldiers) at a
disadvantage,” said Etheridge.
“Things are going to happen and
how did you prepare for them?
You will be aware of, and you
have an idea of how to address
the issues you are going to face
when you go home.”
Additionally, the training
focused on what it will be like
interacting with mommy once
Soldiers return home.
“We also explore the
importance of having a healthy
relationship between mom and
dad, and displaying healthy
interaction with the child
because that helps the child as
well.”
Soldiers spoke about what
part of the training stood out to
them the most.
“The class actually helped me
obtain knowledge on how to care
for a crying baby, or a baby that
couldn’t sleep very well,” said
Golgart.
Soldiers will now be well
prepared to handle multiple
situations they may come across
once they arrive home.
“Now that they have this
knowledge and the expectations
of what these changes are,
they are able to adapt better to
these changes,” said Etheridge.
“It’s preparing them for those
types of changes in that home
environment.”
The brigade plans to continue
the classes through the end of
the deployment as needed for the
new fathers

“It’s been like that ever since – family,”
Jones said.
But this isn’t the first game, this is the
championship.
The game looks like it might get out of
hand any minute with Jones on the bench
and the other American’s starting to get into
foul trouble. What started as a 15-point lead
quickly turned into three.
But the Kuwaiti half of the team picked
up the slack as Salem makes a key stop and
follows up with and easy layup. The KAF’s
run ends.
Now with the lead secure, the teammates
prove they can rely on each other.
“The Kuwaitis know the game and they
shoot lights out,” said Jones.
“Not only are they skilled, they use the
same lingo you would find on the courts in
the US,” said Jones.
“Salem says a lot of ‘boom shakka-lakka,’
or ‘its money time,’ when he’s about to dunk,”
said Jones.
Its midway through the third quarter, the
US-KLF team maintains a slight lead when,
Sgt. Nathaniel “Slim” Prigian fakes out a
defender, and with a clear shot of the basket,
Slim slams the ball down, “its money time.”
The fans chant “Slim, Slim, Slim,” as Jones
and the rest of the bench go wild.
The KAF never came back.
With a trophy in hand, the month-long
partnership reached its peak, but a lifetime of
brotherhood began.
from PARTNERSHIP, Page 1
Soldiers of 2nd ABCT, 4th Inf. Div., and Kuwaiti Land Forces, both part of the Joint U.S.-Kuwaiti Land
Forces Team, put their hands together as they prepare to play the Kuwaiti Military Forces Annual
Basketball Tournament at the Kuwait Sports Complex, April 29.
“We came together,” said Jones. “They
have different cultures and backgrounds, but
all we want to do was win a championship.
I thought it was about basketball that first
practice when we ran sprints up and down
the court, but it’s not about basketball
anymore to me, it’s about love, we’re
brothers, we’re family.”
Salem agreed.
“The Americans are our friends and
they help us everywhere and anywhere,”
said Salem. He continued as he pointed to
himself, “They have a brother here, they
have a family; we love the guys.”
“Just us,” a brotherhood, a Kuwaiti-US
brotherhood.
The US-Kuwaiti Land Forces team
defeated the Kuwaiti Air Force Team 78-62
to win the Kuwaiti Military Basketball
Tournament.

S
oldiers of 204th BSB, 2nd ABCT, participated in a truck
rodeo on Camp Buehring, Kuwait, April 30.
The truck rodeo, made up of three lanes, allowed Soldiers
to be tested in the areas of communications, maintenance and
medical readiness.
“It’s important for Soldiers to be well rounded because you never
know where you are going to find yourself and in what situation
you re going to find yourself,” said Sgt. Hannah Kobit, healthcare
specialist, Company C, 204th BSB. “You need to be able to adapt and
overcome any situation.”
	 Soldiers worked together to complete the lanes as they
received grades on time and competency.
	 “In situations like this when you are deployed, you need to
depend on somebody who can be your battle buddy next to you, who
is going to stick by you and help you through everything,” said Spc.
Shameen Bonnick, automated logistical specialist, Company B, 204th
BSB.
Working together allowed the Soldiers to do more than just
compete in the competition.
You are bringing everyone together,” said Bonnick, a native of
Duluth, Ga. “Everyone has to work together. It builds esprit de corps.”

“I enjoy setting up a challenging station for Soldiers and watching
them compete,” said Kobit. “It is fun when you are able to actually see
the final product when you have been planning for so long.
Bonnick said the maintenance lane with vehicle push required the
most work, but also stood out as the best event that motivated her
most.
“Seeing their battle buddies push and saying, hey, I can do this
too!”
This will be the last truck rodeo the “Rough Riders” participate in
as they are redeploying to Fort Carson, Colo. later this summer.

Warhorse pride vol 2 issue 10 20140509

  • 1. Serving the Soldiers, Civilians and Families of 2nd ABCT, 4th Inf. Div. Vol. 2, Issue 10 May 9, 2014 Soldiers of 2nd ABCT, 4th Inf. Div., and Kuwaiti Land Forces, both part of the Joint U.S. – Kuwaiti Land Forces basketball team dance, together after winning the Kuwaiti Military Forces Annual Basketball Tournament at the Kuwait Sports Complex, April 29. ‘Just Us’Story and Photos by Sgt. Marcus Fichtl 2nd ABCT PAO, 4th Inf. Div. S gt. Corey Jones, co-captain of the U.S. – Kuwaiti Land Forces basketball team posts up, a Kuwait Air Force player slashes into the lane and bumps into Jones. The ref blows the whistle calling a third foul barely into the first quarter. The KAF player sinks his free throws and they pull within four. Rewind to a few hours prior, Hip-hop music blasts through a 15-passenger van as it zigzags through the streets of Kuwait City. Inside, a handful of basketball players silently roaring in confidence as they approach the Kuwait Sports Complex one last time, for one last game, the Kuwait Military Basketball Championship, April 28. They aren’t just any American basketball players - they’re the All-U.S. Army Central Champions from the 2nd ABCT, 4th Inf. Div., Camp Buehring, Kuwait. “Just us” is their motto and according to them, it’s a brotherhood. It’s not the hype, the refs or the fans. Jones and his team walk into the basketball stadium as Salem, Co- Captain of the US- Kuwaiti Land Forces basketball team greets them. He embraces and kisses Jones and the American’s on their cheeks, the local greeting between friends in Kuwait. The US-Kuwaiti team didn’t start with a warm embrace - it wasn’t “just us.” It was us or them as the two sides first met just over a month ago. “We walk in, we’re trying to give them handshakes, and they’re on one side of the court and we’re on the other side - it’s a middle school dance” said Jones. “Then the coach comes in, blows his whistle and has us do sprints for 15 minutes. He told us ‘this is our new family now, and that we have to look out for each other.” A week after the first practice and the new family put their trust in Jones, he hit two three point shots to defeat the Kuwaiti Royal Guard 84-82.

  • 2. Warhorse PridePage 2 Vol. 2, Issue 10 May 9, 2014 T he sound of a crying baby is not something all Soldiers are used to, especially if they have been deployed for the last seven months, but expecting and new fathers of the 2nd ABCT, 4th Inf. Div., are preparing themselves for anything. The brigade hosted its second installment of Daddy Boot Camp at the Camp Buehring Chapel in Kuwait, May 3. The training included an instructional video on how to swaddle an infant, a slideshow on the “do’s and don’ts” of reintegrating back into family life and situational based questions. “It’s designed to teach a lot of different things to first time fathers or expecting fathers,” said Maj. Cori Etheridge, behavior health officer, 2nd ABCT. “We look at and explore the father’s fears, apprehensions, what their hopes and dreams are and what type of father do they want to be.” Story and Photo by Staff Sgt. Andrew Porch 2nd ABCT PAO, 4th Inf. Div. Daddies fall in! Maj. Cori Etheridge, right, brigade behavior health officer, 2nd ABCT, 4th Inf. Div., speaks with current and future fathers during Daddy Boot Camp at the Camp Buehring Chapel, Kuwait, May 3 For one first time father, the class made him confident in the ability to go home and play a major role. “I feel like I’m better now,” said Pfc. Aric Golgart, infantryman, Company A, 2nd Bn., 8th Inf., Reg., 2nd ABCT. “I’m more prepared and I am going to actually be able to help my wife.” And why did leadership think it is important to have the class for the soon-to-be redeploying Soldiers? “Going home and redeploying without having this knowledge kind of puts (Soldiers) at a disadvantage,” said Etheridge. “Things are going to happen and how did you prepare for them? You will be aware of, and you have an idea of how to address the issues you are going to face when you go home.” Additionally, the training focused on what it will be like interacting with mommy once Soldiers return home. “We also explore the importance of having a healthy relationship between mom and dad, and displaying healthy interaction with the child because that helps the child as well.” Soldiers spoke about what part of the training stood out to them the most. “The class actually helped me obtain knowledge on how to care for a crying baby, or a baby that couldn’t sleep very well,” said Golgart. Soldiers will now be well prepared to handle multiple situations they may come across once they arrive home. “Now that they have this knowledge and the expectations of what these changes are, they are able to adapt better to these changes,” said Etheridge. “It’s preparing them for those types of changes in that home environment.” The brigade plans to continue the classes through the end of the deployment as needed for the new fathers Top NCO, Soldier crowned Sgt.

  • 3. Warhorse PridePage 3 Vol. 2, Issue 10 May 9, 2014 “It’s been like that ever since – family,” Jones said. But this isn’t the first game, this is the championship. The game looks like it might get out of hand any minute with Jones on the bench and the other American’s starting to get into foul trouble. What started as a 15-point lead quickly turned into three. But the Kuwaiti half of the team picked up the slack as Salem makes a key stop and follows up with and easy layup. The KAF’s run ends. Now with the lead secure, the teammates prove they can rely on each other. “The Kuwaitis know the game and they shoot lights out,” said Jones. “Not only are they skilled, they use the same lingo you would find on the courts in the US,” said Jones. “Salem says a lot of ‘boom shakka-lakka,’ or ‘its money time,’ when he’s about to dunk,” said Jones. Its midway through the third quarter, the US-KLF team maintains a slight lead when, Sgt. Nathaniel “Slim” Prigian fakes out a defender, and with a clear shot of the basket, Slim slams the ball down, “its money time.” The fans chant “Slim, Slim, Slim,” as Jones and the rest of the bench go wild. The KAF never came back. With a trophy in hand, the month-long partnership reached its peak, but a lifetime of brotherhood began. from PARTNERSHIP, Page 1 Soldiers of 2nd ABCT, 4th Inf. Div., and Kuwaiti Land Forces, both part of the Joint U.S.-Kuwaiti Land Forces Team, put their hands together as they prepare to play the Kuwaiti Military Forces Annual Basketball Tournament at the Kuwait Sports Complex, April 29. “We came together,” said Jones. “They have different cultures and backgrounds, but all we want to do was win a championship. I thought it was about basketball that first practice when we ran sprints up and down the court, but it’s not about basketball anymore to me, it’s about love, we’re brothers, we’re family.” Salem agreed. “The Americans are our friends and they help us everywhere and anywhere,” said Salem. He continued as he pointed to himself, “They have a brother here, they have a family; we love the guys.” “Just us,” a brotherhood, a Kuwaiti-US brotherhood. The US-Kuwaiti Land Forces team defeated the Kuwaiti Air Force Team 78-62 to win the Kuwaiti Military Basketball Tournament.

S oldiers of 204th BSB, 2nd ABCT, participated in a truck rodeo on Camp Buehring, Kuwait, April 30. The truck rodeo, made up of three lanes, allowed Soldiers to be tested in the areas of communications, maintenance and medical readiness. “It’s important for Soldiers to be well rounded because you never know where you are going to find yourself and in what situation you re going to find yourself,” said Sgt. Hannah Kobit, healthcare specialist, Company C, 204th BSB. “You need to be able to adapt and overcome any situation.” Soldiers worked together to complete the lanes as they received grades on time and competency. “In situations like this when you are deployed, you need to depend on somebody who can be your battle buddy next to you, who is going to stick by you and help you through everything,” said Spc. Shameen Bonnick, automated logistical specialist, Company B, 204th BSB. Working together allowed the Soldiers to do more than just compete in the competition. You are bringing everyone together,” said Bonnick, a native of Duluth, Ga. “Everyone has to work together. It builds esprit de corps.” Kobit, a native of Downers Grove, Ill., and instructor of the

Bonnick said the maintenance lane with vehicle push required the most work, but also stood out as the best event that motivated her most. “Seeing their battle buddies push and saying, hey, I can do this too!” This will be the last truck rodeo the “Rough Riders” participate in as they are redeploying to Fort Carson, Colo. later this summer.
