A student recites a poem in Pashto during class here Feb. 25, 2012. Marines serving with Team 3, Civil Affairs Detachment 11-2, provided guidance to the local government in Khan Neshin to help them construct a new school. Brooks said visiting the school is the highlight of his deployment. The current school is made of mud and mortar, is overcrowded and only has enough capacity to hold up to sixth grade. The new school will have up to eighth grade and have more than enough room for students and teachers. Brooks is from Celeste, Texas, and is serving under Regimental Combat Team 5 and alongside 1st Light Armored Reconnaissance Battalion in Helmand province.
