The first day of drill this weekend begins with the annual Army Physical Fitness Test (APFT) in the morning, then the battalion picnic in the afternoon. My sons are going to the picnic. They will spend the morning at Jacari's former foster Mom, who lives six miles from Fort Indiantown Gap.
I have a lot of wonderful days in my life, but a day that includes working out, riding my bike, competing, eating grilled meat, hanging out with the boys--life doesn't get much better than that!
Except next month when will have a three-day drill and get to fire rifles and maybe machine guns.
When SFC Larry Christman said, "Gussman thinks all this training is an amusement park" he had my number.
