RTO, thank you. And thanks to all of you busting my lil brother's balls into shape. I guided him here just for that very purpose. At 33 it takes a little getting used to the abuse he's gonna weather in the very near future.


To be clear, I see my title says I'm in the DEP and right now I am NOT.

I am working on the waiver to get into the DEP and go active. I have an utter fucking hatred for posers and god forbid I end up some accidental wannabe.

I was there in winter so I can only attest to the cold. What I remember the most was the complete lack of anything green... anywhere. Our company pulled guard duty on the Stinger missile classrooms. That's as close as we got to the AIT side of the highway after reception. Thanks for the welcome Coldsteal2.
