In addition to the duffle bag you are already carrying, you need to be issued a helmet, flack vest, M4 rifle, and another duffle bag. The vest adds another ten pounds alone. It was a black flag day, which means hotter than crap- your only allowed to do limited exercises. The sun was beating down on us and I was severely dehydrated. Camp was a little over half a mile away, with a small hill and the end. Yep, we walked all the way there.
We will do anything to fine shade on this day
Here are some of my flight-mates, ready to deploy!
And here I am severely depleted of liquids & trying to stay alive

Just wanted to say thanks for all your blog comments on my blog. It was fun to see comments going way back.
I can't believe how real-life you look. In my head I saw you like this, but it's different to actually "see" you like this. We're actually a military family. How wierd. You never know when these realizations will hit.
Wow! You're a real soldier!! Make sure you are getting lots of liquids!
You look good in uniform, bro!
