moving day

semper gumby : always flexible ;)

This month July, 167 single Marines including miss Erica moved all of their personal belongings into a brand new barracks (complete with lounge areas and a full kitchen). They also spent hundreds of Marine-hours examining over 2,000 equipment records, 110 instructional binders, and answer 102 detailed questions in preparation for our Commanding General's Inspection next week. And, they conducted detailed tests of thousands of pounds of equip-ment used in the communications network we will set up later this month for exercise Ulchi Freedom Guardian.

...Actually, that month's worth of accomplishments all happened in a single busy week!

no pics of the new barracks yet :(
