~The FReeper Canteen Presents~ Road Trip: Atterbury-Muscatatuck Training Center, Indiana The Atterbury-Muscatatuck boundaries encompass more than 35, 000 acres of training and maneuver space. Within Johnson, Bartholomew, and Brown counties is Camp Atterbury, near Edinburgh, Indiana, and armed forces reserve training area operated by the Indiana National Guard.
The base supports active duty and reserve component training, as well as other local, state, or federal training. Regional National Guard and U.S. Army Reserve units, U.S. Army North, U.S. Northern Command, the Joint Staff and other military and civilian organizations also use Atterburys facilities.
Atterburys Advanced Urban Training Facility, MUTC, located in Jennings County near Butlerville, Indiana, is a unique interagency and intergovernmental training venue, which occupies the grounds of the former Muscatatuck State Hospital. Atterbury-Muscatatuck enterprise is a State of Indiana and Department of Defense collaborative enterprise whose efforts are focused on creating and operating a highly realistic, fiscally responsible, contemporary, and developmental testing environment in which joint, interagency, intergovernmental, multi-national, and non-governmental capabilities can prepare as a team for deployment in support of national requirements both in the homeland and overseas. The enterprise is comprised of four major activities: the Atterbury-Muscatatuck Center for Complex Operations (AMCCO), the Atterbury/Jefferson Proving Ground Air-Ground Range Complex, Camp Atterbury Joint Maneuver Training Center (CAJMTC), and the Muscatatuck Urban Training Center (MUTC), a range of CAJMTC, and designated Advanced Urban Training Facility. The AtterburyMuscatatuck training profile includes land, airspace, training venues, and collaborators stretching over the southern half of Indiana into adjacent states.
The availability of assault landing strips, drop zones, and landing zones provides units the ability to begin their training experience at Atterbury Muscatatuck with a strategic insertion employing both fixed and rotary-wing aerial platforms into an anti-access environment.

I Just Can't Do It
July 17, 2018
The law was our tutor to bring us to Christ, that we might be justified by faith.
Galatians 3:24 nkjv
I just cant do it! lamented the dejected student. On the page he could see only small print, difficult ideas, and an unforgiving deadline. He needed the help of his teacher.
We might experience similar despair when we read Jesuss Sermon on the Mount. Love your enemies (Matthew 5:44). Anger is as bad as murder (v. 22). Lust equals adultery (v. 28). And if we dare think we can live up to these standards, we bump into this: Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect (v. 48).
The Sermon on the Mount produces despair, says Oswald Chambers. But he saw this as good, because at the point of despair we are willing to come to [Jesus] as paupers to receive from Him.
In the counterintuitive way God so often works, those who know they cant do it on their own are the ones who receive Gods grace. As the apostle Paul put it, Not many of you were wise by human standards. . . . But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise (1 Corinthians 1:2627).
In Gods wisdom, the Teacher is also our Savior. When we come to Him in faith, through His Spirit we enjoy His righteousness, holiness and redemption (v. 30), and the grace and power to live for Him. Thats why He could say, Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven (Matthew 5:3).
Thank You, Lord, for blessing those who are poor in spirit, who mourn, and who hunger and thirst for Your righteousness. You are our righteousness!
Read more from Oswald Chambers at utmost.org.
Through the Son we can enjoy life in Gods kingdom.
The Bible is filled with stories of how God used weak, unlikely, or flawed characters to bring about His purposes. Included in that lineup are Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Moses, Rahab, Gideon, and Peterjust to name a few. God chose elderly Abraham and his barren wife to be the father [and mother] of many nations (Genesis 17:5). He used Isaac, who played favorites (25:2728), and Jacob, a deceiver, to continue that line (25:2934; 27:129). God called the reluctant Moses, a murderer on the run, to lead His people out of slavery in Egypt (Exodus 2:1115; 14:131). God chose the prostitute Rahab to hide the spies in Jericho (Joshua 2) and to be included in the genealogy of Jesus (Matthew 1:5); He called Gideon, who cowered in fear, to serve as judge and rescue the Israelites from the Midianites (Judges 68); and He appointed Peter, an outspoken fisherman, to be His disciple (Matthew 16:22). God still uses flawed charactersyou and meto fulfill His purposes.

Not far from home. My dad was mustered out of the Army Air Corp there. I was born nine months to the day later.

Our farm is 10 or 12 miles from Atterbury. When I was a kid, the Air Force still flew B-58 Hustler bombers, but Soviet progress in anti-aircraft missles shifted them from high level to very low level bombers. Planes from Bunker Hill Air Force Base would fly down our creek valley almost on the deck, dumping chaff, as they approached practice targets at Atterbury. It was pretty neat.

Hi radu!
Nice pics from the museum last night! Sounds like you're a dedicated soul to help restore all that military history. What a big job you've undertaken!
Good on you and thanks for the pics. Keep them coming when you can.
Absolutely nothing going on my way today, still real hot. Just layin' low.

Howdy, PRO.
Hope your day was good. Cooling off at all or are y’all still roasting?
We had clouds until late afternoon so it wasn’t as hot as they’d predicted it would be. WHEW!

Hi Everybody!
To hot, muggy, and buggy to do anything. No hiking, No Biking, and not much of anything else.
But that’s OK. Yesterday was nice anyway. LOL.

LOL! Looks like we were typing about the same time.
Glad you enjoyed the pix.
You aren’t kidding it’s a big undertaking to clean all the uniforms but I’m up for it. LOL! I thought there would be others helping but so far, nope.
Bummer it’s still hot there. Makes it hard to force yourself to walk out the door for any reason, doesn’t it?

Howdy, LUV.
We got lucky and had another cloudy day. No rain but it help the temps down to a tolerable level.
The soybeans are gorgeous and lush at this point. It won’t be long before they flower. If the rainfall keeps up through the rest of summer, we should have a bumper crop.
Did you get a decent amount of rain last night?

Awesome that the cloudy day helped keep the temperature down a bit. I hope those soy beans continue to thrive and they have a bumper crop this year!
We only got 2/10ths inch of rain, but it cooled things down a lot last night and it “only” reached 96 today, when it was supposed to be closer to 100, so there is that. The surprise lilies are still looking nice. Gotta enjoy them because they almost disappear as quickly as they came up. LOL!

The cooler temps were welcome but it was still pretty humid. We’re supposed to have a couple of drier, slightly cooler days and then it swings back to hot and soupy. Oh well, it’s July. We still have August to get through and it’ll be more of the same. LOL
Two tenths is pretty good especially with it being a soaking rain. I imagine the grass and flowers are happy right now.
But your hubby won’t be too happy when he’s out there with the mower. LOL
