That's a true statement, Ken! I took the oath on 2/14 and purposely delayed my departure for almost three months to 5/7 and we were still hearing about "snow watch" duty when we arrived, where the trainees manned a snow shovel for three hours at a time, all night long, keeping ahead of the falling snow on the miles and miles of wide side walks at NTC Great Lakes! In May we still were waking to some pretty cold morning musters on the grinder!

Don't tell him this story, M.T.
