Frezzin' in Free Pineland
The guys at Mackall must be frezzin' their ass off tonight. Here at Bragg light rain and COLD!! Kind of reminds me of a cold Saturday night in Pisgah on the side of Table Rock mountain during Branch FTX.

No Phase I in session, I don't think there is any Phase II or IV students out either.
Phase VI/SERE should be done right now as well, and all other students should have been released for Christmas Break already.

Yea, yea, yea-but is it a dry heat? Nice and crisp here this morning. A dry -3 with a -9 this evening. Sort of that tooth cracking cold where that first breath freezes you nostrils together and mkes your eyes tear. Had a little snow shower this morning.

Well good for you It's so cold here I had to turn the air-conditioner off. However, it is supposed to warm up again tomorrow - mid-70s.
Of course we are spending Christmas at the coldest place on Earth. Chicago then North end of Lake Winnabago up in Wisconsin. I can't believe I'm leaving Miami for Christmas in the frozen north. Whine, bitch, complain...

Table Rock is quite beautiful this time of year. Before leaving for OSUT my training schedule had me rucking up Hwy 11 past the entrance to the Park. Great area.
Its pretty cold here at the Ph-1A compound as well.

Cold!!!! Wet!!!!! Ravenous!!!
Well, I don't know what class/es may be out there. But, I do remember my time there, in the olderish days. I finished the last phase or SF Advanced Enlisted Course the 26th of Nov, '69. We were all wet cold and hungry... but WTF. We were the entire time we were out there. It's weird being in here, reading posts and jogging my memory back to the smaller details after 35 or so years. Ummmm still remember finishing that last phase.... wiped out.
BUT!!!!!
I'm believing most guys around here that have been there will tell you..... they could have continued in whatever was required of them.....
But back to my experience. After we were done, we were loaded on deuce and a halfs and hauled out of the hills ( sorry, lived in CO 12 years and now in the Phoenix area.... CO had Mtns 
No covers over the back of the duece's.... and had been raining/sleeting for the past few days.... we had been soaked for several days. On that haul back it snowed. We were all in our F**t sacks.... packed like sardines.
Thinkin' back, I'm not sure if any of us could control the teeth shattering/shivers for that ride back to the Hill.
AHHHH screw this stuff from a guy that went through in '69.... just DON'T quit!!!
And I'm tired of typing
