Back from FTX out in this OK winter.  Bunker rush (w/ Blanks) -- I was the assaulter w/ Ford covering me on rush as well -- big fun!  Adrenalin pumped so hard no pain in a low crawl at rabbit speed -- no sweat felt till dirty wrists & faces evident at the end.  Far ambush -- get down, break contact w/ Smoke Grenade.  Indirect fire...Nigh raids on 4th PLT.  Slept outside, unauthorized, on Night 2...it was just to beautiful a night to be in the mass tent w/ coal & wood heaters smoking...& it was the best night's sleep out there -- in my hasty fihgting position, shelter half as my frost cover 15K back hurt my feet & I am having difficulty walking but shit is over.  Been cleaning stchuff...what a flatulation...

Have started a D&D campaign on KRYNN!  Post War of the Lance & Palanthus Invasion w/ Chappel & Heldenbrand (Peanut Butter).  Kendre Priest of Paladine NPC (!wahoo!)  Qual/Kag Ranger & Mage Bro/Sis for Chep.  Figher for PB & a thief for the 71D from 4th PLT - who hasn't really seen any of the starter action -- mission to Dagaard Keep on behalf of Crysania's Spirit & Paladine...led by the kender hehehehehe.

I didn't write much over exodus -- and that was recap of BCT.  Spent most of the time w/ Jus or Mom & Dad...New Years, Christman Eve/Day.  All is well.  Saw "You've Got Mail" w/ em. my treat.  Drove the vette to Santa Cruz w/ Cook.  Updated My Earthly Shell briefly.  5 packs Smokes, threw up at Justine's on New Years.  Primus Dec 30th -- got gear back from Ed, here at Ft. Sill waiting hopefully shows during AIT...
Mucho sleep, un poco (muy poco) PT.

So everything worth detailing in BCT is done.  D & C is apparently canceled due to time constraints, and all that is left is cleaning, returning TA 50 & graduation rehearsal...then it's graduation One Week from today...
