Uh...you need to know this is not a military occupational specialty...
Camp leaders have designated Vanjura and 1st Lt. Tim Greenway as party planners who arrange activities about once a month to keep troops’ spirits up.
“At a certain point, you just get sick and tired of being sick and tired of being over here,” said Lt. Col. Hank Arnold, battalion commander.
Their first big event was the Sinjar Summer Slam. The soldiers hired an Iraqi they call “Johnny Three Fingers” (his hand is disfigured from a fire) to build a boxing ring.
“The guys got in there and beat the crap out of each other,” said Vanjura, 25, a chemical officer from Dayton, Ohio.
And because there is only one woman at Range 54, the soldiers convinced four female soldiers from nearby Talafar to box.
“Yeah, that’s what the guys wanted to see,” Vanjura said.
