Weekly review

Well we had an interesting week. This week we finally had our test, we got to go on a field trip to Waynesville's only sewage waste facility, and played scenarios on the JANUS system. To top it off we went out to do Land Navigation Saturday morning and got caught by a small snow storm... good times!

Quote of the week:
Urso: "Requesting smoke on TRP A0001."
?Rice?: "What are you smoking and how much?"

Thought this was a pretty cool video of the cross country biking lifestyle... hope to make my own someday...

Hey guys. Just a heads up I'm planning a trip through the Oregon coast on my DR 650. Anybody who has a bike is more than welcome to tag along. Just understand that I'm planning on doing this the old fashioned way; cheap. Camping on the beach, and just enough money for gas. Let me know if anyone is interested and we'll start planning.

A quote I found from advrider.com;

"Most people have to incite a prison riot to get weeks of solitary confinement; I, on the other hand, am paying for it out my own wallet with no regrets."

Hey guys, learned a few facts about a certain vehicle that I'll be operating in my career:

1.) Originally designed as a troop transport (12 men) but now can barely squeeze 6

2.) Is used for reconnaissance missions, but stands at over 10 ft tall, louder than heck, and is anything but stealthy.


3.) Meant as a very light and very quick vehicle, but now sports a functional turret turret equipped with a 25 mm gun, a coax, and an anti-armor TOW missile launcher.

4.) The colonel responsible for designing this beast wrote on his blueprints, "Help me, I'm losing my mind!" due to overwhelming pressure to continually add ridiculous components to his originally simple troop transport vehicle.

I am talking about non other than the Bradley Fighting Vehicle... gotta love this army! Hooah!

Click Here to see a Bradley hit and run that will probably happen to me when I get behind the wheel of one of these bad boys.

Starting the blog

Alright, this thing works. So I pretty much started this thing up because it's easier to share stories and pictures with family this way. Yeah mom, I'm talking about you. Anyway, now you can see pics of what I've been up to and leave comments and what not. Anyway, I'll talk to you later...
