No. I didn't. Read the report--my shoes were a nightmare. Even my blisters had blisters at the end of it...

Fish - the hike looks sweet. I'd love to do the AT one day.

I was told that the carbs and the trace proteins make beer the perfect pre and post race beverage. Although I would have prefered a nice micro brew. The alcohol helps with minor pain relief as well, at least untill morning.

I assume your at Rucker. How long you been in? I am thinking about flight school once I get my degree. I have been in the Army about 6 years. I am in Kuwait now for a year, but I work full time for the Army in LR.

Our youngest wrote a trip report from a "State Park Sunday" trip we did a couple of weeks ago. You can read it and see photos here:

So your Active Guard? Thats a pretty decent job. I was a street-to-seat guy, as they call us. I went straight from civilian to warrant officer flight training. It's a great program, just a lot of paperwork and a lot of work in general. So do you want to be a RLO or a warrant? I assume that since your working on your degree you want to be an RLO.... Nothing wrong with that, lots of money. If you want to FLY though, I would suggest warrant. If you got AIM, contact me on there and I can give you any info you might need. My AIM tag is in my signature.

Yeah, been activated since late March. I will be active until about next July. I am thinking RLO to start with, but I am thinking of reverting once I get out of flight school. I'm not sure though. I only have about another year and a half of school and I can take my direct commission. So that seems to be the better way for me now as I can take courses online while I am here. So where are you going after Rucker, I plan on going back to LR and flying out there. I will more than likely fly blackhawks though. We have 58's and H-1's, we also have a C-26, but I am not looking into fixed wing until later.

Actually, my last name is Rucker. I'd name the fort after myself, thus forcing the current Ft. Rucker to change it's name.

Never mind... stupid joke.

I think I've managed to attach a picture, not sure if it worked. It's not really a fitness photo, it's me and my mom. But it's the best I could come up with!
