| RAIDERS DRINKEX NOV '00 |
| On the weekend following our phenomenal performance in the Squad Exeval, the platoon (minus the senior NCOs) went out on a urban imbibing exercise in the near by town of MUNSAN. This was the first unofficial gathering of the platoon under our new nickname, "RAIDERS." I am happy to report that no unruly behavior occurred as a result, and our relationship with the ROK civilian populace in Munsan improved as a result. |
