Lol…1972 in Virginia…my troop was on a small Naval Communication base a few miles from Andrews AFB.

We were a bit dysfunctional.

It was a bit of disaster for us anyway. You had to be dropped off a couple of miles away, and your troop had to build a functional Travis to haul all your stuff in on, and we used bad wood. As we dragged it over the road, it wore down the wood, and it began to unravel. We barely made it in, and we were judged poorly.

The next morning was the egg throwing which started as randomly throwing eggs blindly out into the general camp, then an egg fight with a nearby troop. When it was broken up, we were rightly branded as the initiators and ejected.

At least that’s how I remember it…
