Reporter Scott Detrow usually covers the Pennsylvania capitol for WDUQ but for the next few weeks he will be covering the Pennsylvania National Guard troops stationed in Iraq.

He says a recent weeklong "Hostile Environment" training course in Georgia helped a great deal. It covered everything from what to do if you find yourself in the middle of a minefield to how to handle yourself in a riot or a firefight. Detrow says the trainer told him not to worry too much. He says it is more likely to get food poisoning in Iraq than it is to be shot.
