Liberty

After a long afternoon of sitting around and waiting, we were given guidance from the commander that we were all to be released on "post pass", but not before we filled some bottles with pee. Yep, a drug test for all. Not that the results matter much as they will deploy us regardless if we were smoking the wacky tobacky or popping pills (they'll just prosecute us when we get back from Iraq). Some of us are planning on going out to eat at a decent steak place (Outback) if we can get a few more folks together to split the cab. Since we are in the middle of nowhere, transpo is very hard to get. Cabs don't even know where our location is and trying to guide them is a challenge to say the least. There is even talk about catching a movie afterwards, but we'll see how that goes.

Good to hear you're doing...well:) What's the deal with bowling and the military??--about the only time I've done any is when I was deployed. Hope you ate a good hunk of cow to make up for the MREs. There are pictures waiting on your e-mail to entertain you.

Sounds like you're having loads of fun! Good to see you're posting. We were wondering what you were up to out in the wild world of military training. Careful with the sodas...you're crazy enough w/o the caffine.
