Yes a salute to those that have served and continue to serve. Today I observe the day at Ft. Dix surrounded by my fellow Airmen, Army and Navy personnel. They make me very proud to be one of them.

Really! Think about it . . . Sylvester is living his life, but bink! "Hey Soldier, you're going around the world for six months, now go spiff up with some basic training crawling around in the snow a thousand miles from home by dragging fake wounded out of upside vehicles for a half a mile." And what does Sylvester say about it? "Yes Sir!"

I would be like a truculent four year-old, "is it cold outside? I'm NOT going."

Combat training in preparation for deployment at Ft Dix, it is a challenge but I like it! It is not all carrying stretchers with 200lb dummies in the woods being shot at and yelled at, today I sat in the top turret of an up armored Humvee in the woods in 35 degree weather(nothing like my VW Bus Samantha but I drove it like a banshee thought the mud today). I fired at Op 4 personnel dressed as terrorists attacking our convoy while others physically moved 200lb real men from one Humvee to another. I had a blast, no pun intended.

I am being trained by veterans from the Iraqi campaigns and Afghanistan. They know their stuff, I am in good hands.

The one sitting to the far right, with the Vietnam era glasses on. I was making a statement, like I don't want to ruin my new glasses out here so here is my very old BCG's instead.

Ahh BCG's, the full name of those glasses was Birth Control Glasses, because you were never going to get close to a girl wearing them, let alone close enough to get them pregnant!
