Loading Out





Tough Boxes and duffle bags - as far as the eye can see. This is just a VERY small part of the gear the Brigade loaded today. We're still a few weeks out from deploying overseas, but all this stuff has to get sealed and weighed and through customs enroute to the POE (Port of Embarkation) now. We'll run into it somewhere, sometime.... I hope......
Some soldiers who are going on advance parties are starting to take their leave later this week. Most of us will wait until August....
Big doin's at Ft Sill. Lynyrd Skynyrd is in concert on the 4th of July - with fireworks to follow. There are rumors of civilian clothes and a two beer opportunity at the concert, but nothing's for sure at this point.
I think I'll stay home with the (other) old folks, play my guitar and enjoy some peace and quiet for a change.....
