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

[malinoisvol]

Where you planning on crossing into Canada?

 

[joevol33]

First time in Iowa

Cool man. Thanks for the pic, and tell them we still would beat their butts in football!

 

[YankeeVol]

Made it to Fargo. Not much to see along the way. Plan on crossing tomorrow

Made it to Dawson Creek.

That tv show pops in my head reading this.

Made it to Dawson Creek.

Beautiful place.

Whitehorse for a late lunch, early dinner. Headed to Tok, may make the push to Anchorage

Be careful on that push.

Left at Tok Junction?

Be safe man.

Decide to stay at Whitehorse. Make the push all the way to Anchorage tomorrow. Roads are pretty clear actually. A ton better than the last time we made the drive.

Both our trips were May and July, respectively. We got lucky, no snow on either trip and no frost heaves.

First night jump in Alaska. First night jump ever actually. I think that makes 15 jumps now.

c'mon man, there all night jumps when your eyes are closed...

your catching me, I think I had 22...that was a lifetime ago

 

[YankeeVol]

I doubt I'll catch you.


Got to take the original Alaska Highway by Haines Junction. Google Maps had a glitch saying the highway was closed. The Ridgeline impressed the heck outta me. That "road" while towing a 6x12 Uhaul trailer....still can't believe we made it

I find it hilarious that a battalion at Drum is locked down over a missing experimental MRE. Kept them in over the weekend. Someone ate the ****ing thing, move on and get over it.

 

[YankeeVol]

That's funny

it's a new army

it's a new army

Asking guys to remove combat patches to make the new soldiers feel more welcome is definite new army. Thankfully someone pulled that chain of command's head out of its ass.
