Report of mission March 7, 2013

Equipment is checkup a night earlier to avoid mishaps during our high risk missions. We review every detail and after dinner we complete intestinal and bladder obligations and then all the team went to sleep. 

The leader of the group is the last one touching the bed, she gives goodnight kisses to all, reviewed for the last time that we will have enough supply of bags, accommodates towels in the right place, turn off the light and we did not wake up until the Chief of operations called us with a voice command at 6:45 am.

At the beginning her voice only said: good morning, that awakens us but leader and I just looked each other and put our head on the pillow again, but the Chief launches another call: good morning... that begins to move us a little more, so our leader got up and checked the external temperature and begins to dress up since his team requires many more elements.

Less than 0 degrees of external temperature requires using thick thermal underwear, sweater, and snow boots and thick socks are essential, to all that is added a jacket, a hat to protect her ears and a scarf. The leader knows well that if she became ill will could the entire operation at risk.

When she finished dressing, she put me on the floor and I walked to the preparation area, where the entire equipment was prepared.

Throughout the process, our Chief begun to raise her voice, GOOD MORNING TROOP, IF DO NOT GET UP AT THIS MOMENT YOU'LL HAVE TO MAKE 10000 SIT UPS FOR INSUBORDINATION. There is no way to ignore her!.

Harnesses and belts are reviewed again just like the number of bags where the wastes are deposited, which must be treated with care, nobody wants an accident. This day temperature forces us to add more items to our team: sweater and jacket to the Chief and I. 

 

This day our mission required much more effort, it snowed all day and all night before, there is snow everywhere, cold, so white and bright, yesterday we didn’t go out, missions were carried out in training area, which is not fun, but today will be different, the leader could see from the command post that there is an open path; the difficult part will be to walk to it.

Once all our equipment was adjusted and checked, all of us headed to the door, our leader carried the Chief, she is that command the mission, a mistake can cost us the full mission and return to headquarters without success.

My task is to analyze the field, give a report, and design a geographic plan to accomplish the mission. 

Today is extremely complicated, the snow is so high that it would cover to our Chief, I tried  to advance but it was very  difficult, so our leader took control, moved to an opening gap and I follow her, although it is difficult to move with so much snow, but  I did not surrender. There is no room for cowards; our Chief deserves all our efforts.

With slow pace we reached the open path, the first part of the goal has been reached, but the mission will be not completed until we can find the perfect place to download the bladder and intestines.

Chief landed slowly and begins to walk with firm step in search of a specific place, release the load here and there and when the mission is completed, the bag is deposited in radioactive deposit, and we began the return to our base. The prize is a breakfast high in nutrients.

With that in mind at the end of the road, leader carefully carried to our Chief to start our slow but necessary advance to the path that she and I opened, now walking is easier because the snow is already lower to our paws, we move, we move forward until we arrived at the gate of the base.

Towels help to collect all the snow that we had on our paws, and the leader took another towel to dry us, it is time to congratulate us on a mission accomplished with courage and determination. The prize is to enjoy our breakfast and relax.

During the day, we went out to the training area, it is important to be always well prepared, there is no space for mistakes; so that the team held together and during the day we design plans that will allow us to comply fully with all our missions.

Kind regards

Geographical operations leader
