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.

Frustrating and humbling, isn't it?

Thumbs up 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
