Less Than 24 hours left at Ft. Benning!


I've decided that only in the Army does a person get up at 0315 (that's 3:15 am) to report to formation at 0430, to get on a bus at 0515 (half of us didn't have to draw our weapons from the arms room this morning), to get bussed across Ft. Benning to the Dining Facility or DFAC (mess hall) to eat, then find time between 0610 and 0630 to catch a "combat nap" on a concrete basketball court, to get in a formation to march up a hill to the training area, only to get pulled out of training to get back on a van at 0700 to go back to the offices to help coordinate logistical "stuff". Wow -- The picture is the demonstration on how to catch that "combat nap"!!!

Seriously, we get up at crazy hours, and get to where we need to be. It's tough to get 90+ soldiers from one point to another, particularly when the majority of them are officers, and well above the age of 22!!! It's been a long time since basic training, but we're all adjusting! A few more hours here at Ft. Benning, and I'll write again when we get back to Orlando.

Til later ~~ Candy
