My Journey to Alaska and back....again (and other Army/YankeeVol life adventures)

you'll get used to it

You realize I've worn a beret for most of my career correct?

It's not really something you get used to IMO. It makes zero sense as an everyday headgear

Being at Bragg seeing people not in a beret is just weird. Really weird.

Last Roll Call never gets easy.

where you going

 

[volfanbill]

I didn't mean that kind of Last Roll Call. Had like my seventh memorial in a year today. Sadly, they've all been garrison issues.

 

[YankeeVol]

Went hiking for PT this morning.

A true Zoner would have grabbed a cub for a pet ;-)

She's alive. Doing well considering.

That's crazy

 

[vol_in_ar]

did they kill the bear

 

[YankeeVol]

No. And why would they? She was protecting her cubs.

 

[hmanvolfan]

Cause it attacked a human?

 

[YankeeVol]

And? Don't get near a bear with cubs.

 

[Toujours Pret]

And? Don't get near a bear with cubs.

Bingo.

Here in Connecticut they've started locking down schools if a bear is nearby, its pretty funny. Also shows how soft we are, as a whole.

 

[YankeeVol]

Although it wasn't her fault really. She was running along a trail and didn't notice the bear until it was too late.

 

[Toujours Pret]

Shouldn't have been running with her period in bear country

 

[YankeeVol]

Everyone knows that
