Hello all!
Just got back from "Sunny" Seattle area, actually Fort Lewis, a couple days ago. I was there for a course sponsored by the US Army Reserves and I am now a better NCO for it.
Actually, the training was very good and helpful, and best of all the people I was assigned with were almost all very intelligent, dedicated, and professional people. We only had one truly hosed-up individual, and she was booted from the course after the first week. Those of us that stayed and completed everything had an ass-kicking time and also enjoyed some great field time.
I finished the course and stayed in the Seattle are for awhile only to get treated to the hideous tregedy of the Shuttle disaster as I was getting ready to leave. I don't know abut you guys but this is shaping up to be a hard millenium. I'd say we're off to an inauspicious start, at least. Maybe it's just the darkness before the dawn, but considering that half the people I was training with just a couple short weeks ago have since been mobilized to Kuwait, well... reserved judgement.
But it is good to be back among friends. I see that the Fanfics section has been alive and kicking and I hope that there have not been too many trolls about.
Onward!

as long as you're standing several 100 meters away and wearing a good flak jacket, I think it'd be safe to make a joke like that...
Coyote, I'd recommend running now.
