Afghanistan Day 126: NMAA

First dry run of Ground Zero, the curriculum I've been writing.  It was extremely successful and FUN.  : D

I love teaching the Generals.  They take everything seriously and work so hard.  They want to learn and increase their skill so much.  They want to be accomplished in speaking English and be able to communicate without assistance with US troops.
