perhaps someone associated with Pendleton could explain why there was a training exercise on Sunday night of a 3 day weekend - gung ho Commander who didn’t want some military folks to get a holiday break?

perhaps not

Sorry to digress here... But your comment brought back some VERY unpleasant memories. Back when I was in the Space Program launch business they LOVED to schedule launches on long weekends or holidays.

The reasoning was that the base was cleared of non-launch essential personnel already and it was more economical to launch then. All I can tell you is that it screwed up my life and families life more than once.
