On 1 October 2013, Chimge and the rest of Class #161 graduated from the Joint Security Force Assistance Course, also known as the Combat Advisor Course. This is the same course I graduated from in Dec of 2007 at Fort Riley, KS prior to going to Afghanistan.

Chimge is now a freshly minted Combat Advisor and she preparing for her deployment to Afghanistan. While in training, according to her peers, she excelled in the Combat Skills portion and proved her value during Key Leader Engagements, where she deployed her ability to work with others and her knowledge of the Russian Language. The role players where actual Afghans some of whom learned Russian during the Soviet Invasion. Once she learned they spoke Russian she was able to communicate effectively without the aid of an interpreter.
