Texas FReepers, Mark your calendar for Saturday, April 21, 12:00 Noon.

We are so very fortunate that Freeper "leofl" has arranged to give us a tour of Fort Hood. Fort Hood is located near Killeen, West of I-35 exits at Temple, Belton area. Thanks so much Leo, for making this happen. Please note if you are interested in joining us. We're still working on a few details but for now here's Leo's note to us......

"I will take you on-post to both the 1st Cav museum and the 4th ID area. I will also show you some of the sights and maybe sounds of Fort Hood. Bring your cameras as you can take pictures at the museums. Other places are clearly marked and I assure you you will have a great time. This is a family friendly outing but there are some things everyone should know.

Fort Hood is now a restricted base. We can get on-base but be sure to bring:

A copy of your insurance card and registration for your automobile

Proper Government ID ie driver's license, State id etc

Do not bring any weapons even if you are a CCL licensee. This is federal property and it makes the guys with bigger guns crazy!!! lol

A fun attitude and a comfortable pair of walking shoes.

Children are welcome and appreciated!!! Let them see what some of our brave heroes are doing to protect their future. Besides I'm a big kid at heart!!"

Any and all freepers are more than welcome to come join me on my little tropical island in paradise..

We could hold a conference and see what the minimum wage hike would do to the economy when Star-Kist leaves the island.

Summer is the coolest, August actually, since we are below the equator.

Just bring some single malt scotch as a bread and butter gift.

Preferably a bottle of 17 year old Glengoyne..

Or possibly a bottle of 21 year old Belvenie..

Too cool. Will you share with your guests if we bring the Glengoyne Scotch? Just curious, what do you do for work there? Do you see Westerners now and then?

I’m a lawyer.

A good one, too.

Westerners comprise about 2% of the population..

Of course I’ll share.. :o)

Do you like Breadfruit or Turkey Tails?

I was thinking something like that, But if everyone who says they are coming show up, I think Ryan’s would probably be able to take us all.
