I didnt care for NTC all that much.It was grueling and exhausting.

Yeah, having wheels made all the difference between a great rotation and a 'crap I can't wait to get out of here' rotation. With the 101st we were airlifted in to our site with a small ruck, a 5gal can of water and our DF gear. Sitting on a mountain in the Mojave in July with nothing but a pancho for cover - sucks. Though we did become expert Hearts players. :-)

I went with the 104th and I had wheels but it still sucked ☺ Of course I was doing maintenance on 9 systems and was jumping all the farking time. Maybe 3 hours of sleep a day.

Also, I broke A hummer trying to get it up a mountain in the middle of the night and it went barreling backwards down the mountain.

That was fun LoL

Needed a tracked troop transport to get us out after 2 days of failed attempts with other vehicles.

Blown out tires. almost getting nailed by an MI in blackout conditions...

Fun fun fun LoL

I believe you. I grew up in that desert just north and west of Barstow. Gotta admit though, it’s the right place to prepare for a war in the desert.
