Thoughts on the Evening

Going out to Fort Knox to volunteer with training after having a doctor cut on my foot this afternoon probably wasn’t the most intelligent thing I’ve ever done.
The rain hit as I was driving out to post, and had stopped by the time I parked. It was probably the most pleasant weather I’ve ever had for training. I’ll take a little mud at 73 degrees than dust at 95.
I really appreciate units that train to standard, not to time.
I really don’t like artillery simulators. I absolutely loathe grenade simulators. At least the artillery simulators give you a loud whistle before they explode.
Taking cover behind an old car and noticing wires running to it is a hint to move yourself to a new spot, quickly.
Three or four grenade simulators thrown on the porch of a building will scare the crap out of a colony of barn swallows.
It’s easy to be excited and have fun the first couple of times you go through a training scenario. By the fourth go-round, you have to concentrate to play your part.
I came home to the smell of blueberry jam being made. Irish Woman is thinking of buying a few pineapple and seeing what she can do. I think she may have a new hobby.
