I joked that in relation to AF field training (also in a 40 man bay when I went through), at least we&#8217;ve got cars and can both drink in the dorm, or drive off post to catch a movie or the like. But then again, with the weather the way it is, I&#8217;m not sure I want to go anywhere right now.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"Https:\/\/www.galaxieman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/wpid1909-Kansas-Weather.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1910\" title=\"wpid1909-Kansas-Weather.jpg\" src=\"Https:\/\/www.galaxieman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/wpid1909-Kansas-Weather-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.galaxieman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/wpid1909-Kansas-Weather-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.galaxieman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/wpid1909-Kansas-Weather.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Again, this isn&#8217;t going to be a drivel-filled page of self-loathing or &#8216;oh woe is me&#8217;, nor is it going to be filled with &#8216;this is who&#8217;s on my team and this is what we&#8217;re doing&#8217;, because I know better. The boss asked if I&#8217;d be the photographer \/ historian for the team, so once we get back I&#8217;ll be able to post some of our operational stuff, but until we clear the theater, not so much. I bought the camera so I could bring it absolutely everywhere, and with the spare external hard-drive I&#8217;m bringing I should be able to store a TON of photos. Which is a good thing. Training starts tomorrow, and I&#8217;ll be sniffle-geared up. Kansas sucks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We moved down the hill to Camp (not) Funston on Friday.
