Last day at Custer Hill

Today is our last day in the Custer Hill dorms so everyone is busy trying to pack as much stuff as they can into as few bags as possible. You can pack as many as you want, but you have to carry them. I can squeeze all of my stuff into 4 bags. I packed most of my things last night because today I had to go sign for our automation/NVG/expendable supplies that we will need at Camp Funston. I took 3 other guys from my team with me and I was glad I did. We came back with 3 foot lockers full of goodies.
I’m really relieved that our team has gotten along so well. Pretty much from day one we have come together and gotten the job done. Usually you have one PITA that makes life miserable for everyone. We don’t have that and I’m hoping that helps when we get into the real training. Time will tell.
One other thing I noticed is how hard it is to keep track of your luggage and find it amongst everyone else’s. For the most part we all have the same kind of bags. There are a few exceptions, but green is a common denominator. I found a shoe repair place at the old PX that makes bag tags with your name on it. My friend and I thought it would be a cool idea to get some tags made, but with our family’s names on them so we can kind of take them with us. So I had 6 tags made so I can tell my bags from everyone else’s and I can give them to my kids when I get back.
