Fall Encampment at Otis AFB

I'm so pumped. I went last year as a C/AB and a freshman and I remember EVERY detail, from the time my Platoon Sgt complimented on me for having a roll of duct tape handy to the ride I got in a UH-1. It really mde THAT much of an impresson on my life. Might sound like just a 5 day trip to you but god damn... I remember it so vividly. And I can't remember what I had for dinner 20 minutes ago.

I know theres 5 other schools from massachusetts going.. Anyone going? Maybe Ill get lucky.

This year I've got a bit more rank behind me, and I'm no longer just that diehard hardcore freshman, I'm now the kid anyone looks for when they need rifle service.

Anyone going to somethign similar? Oh man.. I have flashbacks just thinking about it. Makes me feel so calm when I'm there. Like its where I'm supposed to be. Waking up when the dew is wet and the air is cold and doing PT with the Chief. Ahh, I'm a crackhead I know.

Man that brings out the sarcastic asshole in me. Be nice, be nice....

Keep up the good work cdt.
