SGT Quivey is back

Yes, I returned from three months of exceptionaly cold training out in sunny (hah) South Carolina. I would say it was cold, and I was bored with occasional times of high adrenaline and periods of sheer exhaustion.
I was the SAW gunner for one of our last field exercises and emerged from it (10 mile tactical march in, 10 miles out. 6 days of squad tactics/urban assault) with several stress fractures in my right femer ball joint/"hip". I should be resting it up, but I must continue to train while I'm on leave to prepare for OCS out at Benning, which is where I'm headed this coming year.
Lordy, it's 2009 already?

Anyway, I just spent a lovely day in my downtown hometown, especially at my quaint pub, "The Banshee". I forgot the camera. I'm still getting used to civilian things again, like even my cell phone! Not to mention this lap top. Hah. Well. Anyway, that's all.

Wow, what a depressing post that one below this is!? Don't you love it when you go read through old posts and think "what on earth possessed me to write that tripe?" Haha
