Oh my goodness.....I think I'd make sure who my friends were before I went near the water.

Hey, that squirrel is no dummy. It's much easier to find the baggie again, rather than the random nut buried somewah

[Kathy in Alaska]

I thought I was going to have to suggest that you were a pushover. But if he has to come IN for his food....LOL! *HUG*

Watch your toes!!

[Long Cut]

Hey, Ms. B! Good to see you got the photos up. Sheesh, don't we all look SOOOOoooo tough...(not). I had no idea I look dthat goofy, why don't people tell me these things?!?!

Anyhoo, thanks again for a great time and the company of great people besides!

And, to ALL: There's a couple of military-related news storie I wanted to share with y'all...

First, it appears that my old steed, the Locheed P-3 ORION, is being replaced! I'll have to learn an entirely NEW airplane from which to do my job! Don't get me wrong, I'm not sad about it. ORION was much beloved by those who flew her, but she's getting simply too old to safely bring us home any more. Better she gets an honorable retirement, with fond memories, than to be removed in disgrace after some tragedy.

In other news, The Army has adopted an all-new uniform for the Infantry to use to replace the current BDU's. It's...interesting, to say the least.

In the next few weeks, I hope to have news of a new Navy Uniform as well. Meantime, enjoy these stories!

Ahh, Kat, you float like a feather........

I guess we gotta waltz across Alaska before we get to Texas.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, LC. Did you hit all your clay pigeons?

[Old Sarge]

Greetings, Canteeners, Troops,
and All the Ships at Sea!

And yet another drive-by post for Old Sarge tonight, after a 16-hour day with PT, training, chow, tests, more chow, more tests, and a stand-up brief, then FINALLY a moment to post something.

But, in any event, Sarge is tickled to have his little digital toy up here, so here's two more candid shots from Ft. McCoy:

This is where Sarge lives; desk, bunk, chest of drawers, and Dexter the Dell, center stage!

And Sarge is taking a moment or two between classes, using the little robot cam.

Now, just a few Personals:

TO THE GALZ: I'm glad to see you're all here, having fun while I'm away.

TONKIN: Thanks for keeping the Canteen up for all of us; a home away from home!

STAR/MOJO: Sorry I missed the two of you, but thanks for all the little things!

Sarge will be here for a bit, so Let's Have Fun!

I hope I don't miss you, but if I do, I miss you!

[Kathy in Alaska]

My, my Sarge......lookin good there with Dexter. They sure make good traveling companions, don't they? I like having my "stuff" right there at my fingertips. Are you learning lots of new stuff? Expanding on stuff you already know? I actually got here early and don't need catching up. Which is a good thing.....2+ hours of sleep last night wasn't enough. LOL!

[Kathy in Alaska]

I'm here tonight, and even on time. How is that for novel? We had a beautiful, gorgeous, sunny day today. How's your weather? Are you in a humid place?

[HiJinx]

Whew! good to see you, Bro.

I read about Sunday morning's lightning strike there this morning and thought maybe you were involved. I'm really glad to see you weren't.

Any word on the troops that were injured? Sure hope they're recovering...

[Old Sarge]

THERE you are!

Dexter is proving to be dead useful. Surfing, classwork, games with the other guys - we rigged a hub in the barracks, and we're going at it with some of the first-person shooters - lots of fun!

Sometimes, it's rehashing old stuff; sometimes it's new stuff, and I have to wake up. All in all, it's not bad.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Jinxie.......Sarge is someplace where the weather is doing bad things? ARGH.....

Sarge, you be careful down there, or up there, or whatever!!!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Are they feeding you ok, or does Ma need to send some goodies? Requests are gladly taken.
