The 36-43rd Company of the New Hampshire National Guard is settling into its new duties.

The 150 men and women who make up the 36-43rd are currently stationed just outside Baghdad.

The maintenance company is providing security at a military prison at Camp Victory.

There they process prisoners, hold them and get them ready for trial.

Last week, NHPR's Mark Bevis spoke with the Commanding Officer, Captain Tony Gagnon, about the company's new mission.

This week we hear from the Company's First Sergeant Victor May.
